Finally, my read was, of course, a Harlequin Presents. An exiled King and a thrice-married heroine who is somehow still a virgin. Y'all just roll with it. https://wendythesuperlibrarian.blogspot.com/2024/06/tbrchallenge-2024-expecting-royal.html @romancelandia

Our first Harlequin Presents appearance courtesy of Lynn at All About Romance. She read an HR nightmare Taming the Last St. Claire by Carole Mortimer but enjoyed it regardless https://allaboutromance.com/book-review/taming-the-last-st-claire-by-carole-mortimer/ @romancelandia

? I finished Bass-Ackwards by Eris Adderly, which would be an excellent choice for this month's "Bananapants" . (Alas, I already read a truly terrible Harlequin Presents.) This is very fun smut if you can get past the premise (not everyone can.) The strong characters and sharp writing also make it work as romance.

Came across an odd sentence in the Harlequin Presents I'm reading for the . It says the heroine's dress makes her look "very feminine, but hid none of her curves."

Might just be a careless way of writing but it implies that the "femininity" of the dress comes from an air of modesty and that demonstrating you have curves is generally considered unfeminine. Unless you do it just right.

Weird.

Finally my review was Runabout by Pamela Morsi. Lord knows I have LOVED some of this authors' books but Dear Reader, sadly this was not one of them https://wendythesuperlibrarian.blogspot.com/2024/05/tbrchallenge-2023-runabout.html @romancelandia
