The Duchess Takes it All by Michelle McLean

Rating: 4 out of 5.

This is a cute, funny historical fiction romance that kept me laughing and turning pages until I finished. Tamsin’s father is a merchant, so she’s not a “blue blood”. She married a (much older) Duke and her station was immediately elevated, but the ton shunned her, even more so after her husband dies. Christian is a royal from Germany that was appointed co-guardian of Tamsin’s son. You can imagine how “thrilled” Tamsin is to learn this. She likes being able to finally make her own decisions, manage her own money and the estate, and most importantly, her son. Tamsin is determined to drive Christian back to Germany and out of her, and her son’s, life.

Perfect Girl by Tracy Banghart

Rating: 4 out of 5.

This is a YA thriller with plenty of twists and jump scares to get your blood pumping. The author does a great job setting up a dark, creepy setting that will keep you holding your breath and jumping at every new twist. The night started off-kilter with the tension between the friends and just got worse after that. There are plenty of icky characters to dislike, which always makes a book fun. Who doesn’t love hoping the icky person gets their comeuppance?
