But the more the two of them think about it, the more they realize there’s something more between them than either of them realized. Plus they’re friends and not at all attracted to each other. So he offers to marry her, but Georgie doesn’t want to be a sacrifice and turns him down. Nicholas Rokesby doesn’t particularly want a wife yet, but he can’t let his childhood friend face ruin. Now she faces a life as an outcast spinster unless she marries the villain. Georgie Bridgerton’s life takes a turn she wasn’t expecting when a man kidnaps her for her dowry. First Comes Scandal by Julia Quinn (April 21)Īnother Bridgerton book! First Comes Scandal is the next installment in Julia Quinn’s Rokesby series, though the heroine of this one is another Bridgerton. I received an arc of Girl Gone Viral from the publisher via Edelweiss. Basically, I’m a really big fan of Alisha Rai’s, and I think Girl Gone Viral is another excellent book from her! I thought her take on tweeting other people’s conversations and how people went after Kat is so spot on, and I really liked how she showed that live-tweet situations that seem cute and romantic aren’t as much fun as people seem to think they are. I also think Rai does an excellent job weaving social commentary into her books, and Girl Gone Viral is no exception. I am 100 percent here for all random history lessons, and this is an especially cool one. I just really needed both of them to be happy! I also really loved seeing Jas reconnect with his family and thought it was really cool how Rai worked in history about Indian farmers in California. I loved all of the mutual pining in this book, and it was so satisfying to see Katrina and Jas finally give their relationship a try.
What he doesn’t realize is that Katrina has been in love with him for a long time, too, so of course a romance is going to develop!Īlisha Rai just writes her characters so well. Jas has been in love with Katrina for years, and the remote setting makes it even harder for him to hide his feelings. So her bodyguard Jas comes to her rescue, sweeping her away to his family home on a peach farm. When someone live tweets an exchange of hers at a cafe that goes viral, she panics and worries about people trying to track her down. Girl Gone Viral is a contemporary body guard romance with lots of mutual pining! Former model Katrina withdrew from the public several years ago, but is trying to get more comfortable leaving her home.
Keep reading for reviews of a new contemporary from Alisha Rai, Julia Quinn’s latest historical, a reverse-rake historical from Scarlett Peckham, and the latest installment in Amanda Bouchet’s sci-fi romance trilogy. It feels more than a little surreal to be talking about book reviews, but romances bring me a lot of joy right now, and I hope they can do the same for you.
