Leading up to Thanksgiving here in the U.S. What about the holiday are you thankful for, or excited about U.S. friends? I'm excited for the food, if I'm being honest 😂 that's my main attraction every year. Like, family, yes, I love y'all but the food is GREAT.
I know we're late compared to Canada and it's not a holiday elsewhere, so what good things are happening in your life, non-U.S. friends? Happy to stop seeing political memes from us? (ME TOO!)
We'll be celebrating on (stolen) Northern Paiute & Washo tribal land, which I try never to forget but especially to stay aware of during this week. For our tribes (my literal neighbors, we live next door to the reservation in Carson City) this is a time of mourning. Supporting small businesses starts at home for me with our local tribe office and the Stewart School museum.

Kind of a #StepbackSaturday adjacent post today. Mostly because I forgot to open the cover and snap the stepback when I took this! 🙈 It's a gorgeous, scandalous stepback though and the cover mirrors it beautifully. I'll be sure to feature it on another Saturday.

Oh I am so glad it's Friday. Every week lately has been A Week™ but this last one was especially a pain, so I'm glad to see the back of it. Writing the new story is moving along like chilled molasses currently, and that always irks me as well. I should know by now that holiday season is always a bit much, but somehow I still hold myself to impossible standards.
I hope you're giving yourself grace and patience, friends. I'm trying to do it myself and remembering how important it is 💙

Anyway this book is *the* classic Redeemed Rogue historical romance. Readers tend to ADORE Sebastian so much they'd time travel and risk cholera just to meet him. And this is amazing because he does some villain-ish things in the previous book, It Happened One Autumn. He's definitely a rogue, and he definitely is redeemed. Evie (the heroine) plays a big part in his character growth, just by being herself. It's a fabulous book and I really recommend it if you haven't tried it yet.

From yellow to blue, here we go! I was amazed at the sheer amount of yellow dress covers I had, but I'm not surprised to find I have twice as many #BlueDressCovers

This is (brutal honesty) my least favorite of the Four Soldiers series. Emmaline drove me insane with her snooty "I can't marry a commoner" attitude and I wasn't a fan of how she played with Samuel's feelings, sleeping with him while insisting her proper marriage to a proper English aristocrat would still happen. Yes I know she had Reasons™ but they were not enough to justify her behavior, to me. Selfish heroine tendencies are one of my pet peeves. That said, this is still an Elizabeth Hoyt and on her worst days she's still one of the best historical romance authors out there. If you're a fan of Angst and Emotional Storms you will like this book a lot more than I did!

And yesterday's #StepbackSaturday reveal: it's The Dangers of Deceiving a Viscount by Julia London. We noticed an intriguing/creepy wrist tattoo on our upper-crust Viscount in the stepback, so I checked out the synopsis to see if it held any clues.
Nope.
William Darby, Viscount of Summerfield, is apparently "heathenishly handsome and shamelessly seductive" but there's no mention of why he'd be tatted up in 1822 England.
💛
This one is part of the Desperate Debutantes trilogy where young aristocratic ladies must resort to desperate means (i.e. working) to keep up appearances. There's pretend identities at play, along with a mistress offer from the hero. I'm a bit worried about it now because handled badly this could lead to some misogynistic predator behavior and this is not sexy. Hopefully Julia London avoided those traps and gives our heroine agency, power, and the ability to assert her choices even if she's pretending to be a working class seamstress.
