Review: What Happens in Scotland by Jennifer McQuiston #BookClubRead

Posted on May 6, 2013 by Felicia The Geeky Blogger • 15 Comments

First Thought When Finished: That was a laugh out loud romp that was super cute. The “love” was a little rushed for my taste but the characters were fantastic!

Story Thoughts: The humor of What Happens in Scotland kept me in stitches during the hijinks that were done by Lady Georgette Thorold.

Audiobook Review: A Rogue by Any Other Name (The Rules of Scoundrels, #1) by Sarah MacLean #BookClubRead

First Thought when Finished: I immediately bought book 2 because I needed some more Scoundrels at the end!

Story Thoughts: I love Historicals where the lead guy loses everything but seems to rise from the ashes even if he is disreputable (I always say that with a Ving Rhames voice). This series is so far hitting the sweet spot with me in that regard.… Continue Reading
