Kiss of a Duke by Erica Ridley5/29/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() She was scientific and logical without coming across as silly, off-putting, or annoying, and I loved seeing her falling in love for the first time, despite trying very hard not to. "But other people-" "The opinions of strangers are irrelevant. They had a Booth/Brennan relationship, and their bickering was just the cutest! He's not prepared to find the one woman who wants nothing for him, and it was so cute to see him fall hard for logical, scientific-minded Penelope. Hardened rake that he is, he is appalled when he finds out someone has created a perfume that sort of levels the playing ground by making men irresistible (don't ask… Read the author's note and just go with it) and sets out to convince the creator to cease producing it. "But without chocolate, are we truly living?" "Hot chocolate." "Humans can live very long lives with no consumption of chocolate," she informed him gently. "Running out of biscuits is like running out of…" "Oxygen?" she guessed. But if all you are looking for is a short, funny, adorably sweet romance with two truly amazing leads and can ignore the silliness of the premise, this is the book for you. I adored this book! Yes, it is historically inaccurate, and you should not expect much in that regard. ![]()

The magician king5/29/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() I’m glad that I was able to this while reading The Magicians as I ended up really enjoying it.Īlthough I have wanted to read this trilogy for a while, my main reasoning behind starting it recently was because I really wanted to start watching the television adaptation. I try my hardest not to be influenced by other peoples thoughts and feelings and I try my best to keep an open mind and form my own thoughts on the books that I read. It’s hard not to notice the amount of mixed reviews that these novels receive on Goodreads. In case you haven’t read my review of The Magicians, I mentioned that I enjoyed it a lot more than I had originally expected to. I had listened to the first book through Audible and I really enjoyed reading The Magicians in that format, so naturally I decided to use my monthly free credit on the second novel as well! ![]() *Warning: This Review May Contain Spoilers If You Have Not Read The Magicians*Īfter finishing the first book in the The Magicians trilogy, I was extremely eager to continue with the rest of the series.
