I read to escape and to be entertained for awhile. My main choice is historical romance, with a side of mystery from time to time. I don't want any part of dystopian books, or depressing reality tales - there is quite enough of that in the news these days! I'm a social media failure - I don't tweet, Instagram, Tumblr or Facebook - who has the time when there's books to read?

A Scot and his wolf return home

March 28, 2018 by Mikki Blu Leave a Comment

This is another book with a long lost hero, though in this case it was his own choice to disappear.  This book, third in the No Ordinary Hero series by Suzanne Enoch, is set in Scotland where Callum MacCreath discovers that his older brother Ian, Earl of Geiry, is set to marry Rebecca, a childhood friend.  While Callum isn’t exactly ready to settle down himself, he realizes that he wants Rebecca and confronts her about it.  A family fight ensues, and Callum finds himself shunned […]

Back from the dead, the earl seeks vengeance

March 28, 2018 by Mikki Blu 1 Comment

This book is the latest in the Rules for the Reckless series, though it’s very easy to read as a stand alone.  It is linked somewhat to Ms Duran’s debut book, The Duke of Shadows, which I read last year but completely forgot about for the most part until the end of this one.  So whether that’s good or bad, I’m not sure, take it as you will. This is the tale of Liam Devaliant, Earl of Lockwood, who mysteriously disappeared on his wedding night […]

The Scientist Duke

March 20, 2018 by Mikki Blu Leave a Comment

Society’s most coveted duke finds the one thing wealth and position cannot buy—the perfect partner… This is apparently the second book in The Duke Trilogy, but you’d be hard pressed to know that other than the title.  I didn’t read the first one (The Scottish Duke), and there was no mention of previous characters or plots.  The duke in question here is Jordan Hamilton, Duke of Roth – a second son who inherited the title after the deaths of his father and older brother (a […]

No fever here, just a low grade fizzle

March 15, 2018 by Mikki Blu 1 Comment

This book was not what I expected, and I didn’t really enjoy it.  I have no issue with reading about fairies, or vampires, or other mythical beings but this book didn’t do it for me and I blame it all on the heroine (who narrates this tale).   Well, I also didn’t care for the hero much either, which doesn’t leave a whole lot for reading enjoyment.  Perhaps if the plot had been more interesting…but alas, that was lacking too. MacKayla (Mac) Lane had been […]
