To Read or Not To Read ?
Welcome to 'Bliss or Dismiss'!
'Bliss or Dismiss' is my weekly round up of books I've read (for leisure) and whether you'll be blissfully happy if you pick them up...or whether you might feel like they just don't quite live up to the hype. As per usual on my blog, this segment is purely my opinion. Please feel free to read every book you come across that sparks your interest! Even if it didn't click with me, it might be your perfect bookish match. Let's get into it!

When the clock strikes midnight...From A Cinderella Story to the magical Ever After, the story of a young woman seeking true love is truly a timeless tale. Lydia Drake gives the classic narrative a Regency spin, providing readers with
heartbreak, humour, and romance in her stunning novel Cinderella and the Duke. Join me as I dive into what makes Cinderella and the Duke so spectacular. Wallflower or Warrior?This novel was impossible to put down from start to finish. The addictive blend of fiery heroine vs. unyielding, brooding lord is always a winner and with Tomboy of the Ton it is this tension - so central to the plot - that keeps the reader hooked. Emily Royal does a fantastic job of bringing her world and its characters to life.
So come along with me as I dive into this romantic read!
With its complex tapestry of informative historical tidbits and vivid fictional characters, this series has been a standout for me since I began covering it back in 2016. It sits right at the crossroad where true crime, historical fiction, and YA romance collide. The historical details paint a striking backdrop for Kerri's leads Audrey and Thomas to go about their investigations - providing a sense of realism and depth that few authors have achieved in such a nuanced way. Capturing the Devil tugs on the heartstrings. All of the SJTR books have had emotional payoff - however this was definitely heightened in CTD. This definitely because of the slow burning romance between Audrey and Thomas that has developed over the course of the series. I found myself going into this book invested, yes, in the plot...but mainly there to discover the fate of our favourite duo! For me at least, their romance (whilst balanced beautifully with the plot) took the front seat and is definitely the reason I bookmarked 90% of the quotes I did (Thomas has such a way with words!). |
