Gigi Reads Romance

As with every Christi Caldwell book I read, I ended my reading experience feeling very satisfied and anxious for the next book in the series. Christi has a magic about her writing that always leaves me breathless, creating characters who are unique and relatable, a setting that makes you feel you are there alongside them, and a plot that shows you the way romance should be. The amazing thing is - she writes multiple books a year and yet, I never feel that an idea is recycled or a character reused. Each book is unique, each character is crafted with care, and I am always shocked when I get to the end and realize there is no more book. I always want more from this author, even when she ties everything up in a neat bow for us to feel closure. Bastard born and living under a false identity, Miss Edwina Dalrymple is working hard to create a life for herself as an etiquette instructor for young ladies. She has been unable to break into the realm of aristocracy, however...until now. When she ...

-Reviewed by Biologistreadsromance- If you want to know what it's like to live a life of a poor PhD student (e.g. looking for seminars with free food, tattered old cheap clothes or free T-shirts from companies' conference booths etc.), read this book! I can attest to the authenticity of that academic life that is so well portrayed here. It's like it's telling MY own life story, except I've never met any "tall, broody, sullen hunk with genius IQ" professor who hates everyone but me! 😩😭 👩🏻‍🔬 Olive Smith is a Stanford biology PhD student, passionate for her research work and loyal to her friends, so much so that she invents an elaborate fake-dating scheme so her best friend could date her ex without feeling guilty. Enter Adam Carlsen, a superstar young professor in the department who terrifies every students and postdocs with his blunt and brutal critiques and high scientific standards... 🧑🏻‍🔬 I LOVE Adam! He's a big nerdy grump with a squishy hea...

Hello book lovers! Here is a debut novel from Renee Wilde. I enjoyed her writing and will definitely be reading more of her books 🤗  What you can expect from tropes 🤧 Heroine cares for the hero when he is brought back injured from Waterloo and has no memory of who he is 🎩 He's a duke - and she has a big secret that makes them an impossible couple. Or does it? 👩‍⚕️STEM heroine, she's a war nurse and has aspirations to become a doctor 💉 Vaccines 101: heroine administers cowpox virus during an outbreak of smallpox to save lives 🕯Slow Burn Romance 🥺 Hero suffers from PTSD after war during storms 🥐 Cinnamon roll hero and strong willed heroine  👵 Hero's aunt is a sweet society dragon 😂 I loved this book, it has so many tropes I love and the vaccine theme was very on point. The only thing I wish was different was that they would have talked about the conflict at the end, even though the Hero just wanted to be together with the Heroine, it would have brought more closure ...

I'm a big ol' chicken and can't handle too much suspense or my anxiety shoots through the roof. I usually avoid highly suspenseful books. I made an exception for Whiteout and I'm so glad I did. Like that book, Uncharted puts the reader in the front seat from page one as Leo, our intrepid heroine, flies out into the Alaskan wilderness to find a recluse in possession of a deadly virus before the bad guys can. What she finds instead is Elias, a gorgeous bearded monosyllabic grump, and his dog. The bad guys aren't far behind and our MCs are immediately thrust into a life or death run for their lives. This one lived up to my expectations. It had the same breathless yet lusty fight for your life vibes of Whiteout and two leads that I rooted for. Elias was a sweet grump who was all in from almost the word go. Leo was a revelation, I expected a intransigent ball buster but the way the author peeled off her layers to show the vulnerable yet strong woman beneath was a fantast...
