Now that I'm fully back to reality (mores the pity) from my fabulous two-week vacation in late September, it's time to catch up with reviews for books I read but never go around to blogging about. Given that the first book on our hit parade was finished before I went on vacation (and my memory ain't what she used to be...), it's time for another round of patented Auntie Wendy Mini-Reviews. | The Misadventures Of Super Librarian
After a hiatus, Jill Sorenson returns to contemporary romance with the first book in what is projected to be a series, Cowboy's Last Stand - and y'all, I had forgotten how great contemporary romance could be. This book reminded me so much of what Sorenson excels at - which is writing about messy characters with messy, complex problems. This one hooked me from the first chapter and didn't let go.Jason Reed is a U.S. Marine with a job waiting for him in San Diego, he's just not sure it's a job ...| The Misadventures Of Super Librarian

I finished Treachery on Tenth Street, the third book in Kate Belli's Gilded Gotham historical mystery series weeks ago. As in, early July sometime and y'all I just haven't had the spoons to do much of anything involving my longtime hobby (reading, blogging...) lately. But since I blogged about the first two in the series and I'm about halfway through the final book in the series, well the completist in me started getting twitchy so here we are.This is a tale of two stories for me. There wer...| The Misadventures Of Super Librarian

Is there anything better than getting hooked on a series and wanting to glom through the whole thing? Not really. After finally reading the neglected Deception by Gaslight by Kate Belli in my TBR pile, I wasn't letting any moss grow under my feet. I immediately went diving into Book 2, Betrayal on the Bowery. We're back in Gilded Age New York City and girl reporter, Genevieve Steward (now working the society beat for the Globe) and Daniel McCaffrey (raised in Five Points, now incredibly...| The Misadventures Of Super Librarian
Longtime readers of this blog know certain things about me at this point, having blogged for over 20 years. I hate the fated mates trope with the passion of a thousand burning suns. I'm a champion for category and historical romances. And I have an soft spot for nurse heroines. In fact I love a great nurse heroine more so than a librarian heroine - go figure. So I was pretty excited to learn that Bald-Faced Liar by Victoria Helen Stone features not only a nurse heroine, but a complicated one ...| The Misadventures Of Super Librarian

Depending on what I think I'm in the mood to read, odds are more than favorable I'm going to find something that fits the bill in my TBR. I figured I was past due for another historical read, so I went diving into my obscene stash of Harlequin Historicals and just randomly picked a title. My blind pick worked out fairly well, given that Terri Brisbin tends to be reliable and The Highlander's Substitute Wife is the first book in a multi-author trilogy. This was a very solid read until it r...| The Misadventures Of Super Librarian
