I'm reading A Princess by Christmas by Julia London, and it's really cute so far. It's a slow-burn romance with a lot of political intrigue, but it's written in an approachable way that I think would appeal to readers who are moving from YA into regular romance.

This is a first! I'm not reading anything at the moment, I've been baking for 2 days straight. Since all I seem to do is reread, my feel good books, I think I'll reread, tonight in bed, Hands Down by Mariana Zapata.
I am reading a Tillie Cole book Thoroughly Whipped, haven't moved past chapter 5 ( I thought I was in chapter 7 but...guess not) it's a decent read, I just have been getting distracted by other things. I did end up purchasing R.L. Matthewson's newest book Furious so I may start that instead.
Currently reading Freeing Luka(bk2) by Victoria Aveline, a nice alien romance. Enjoyed the first book and thought I had better read the second as the next book in the series to be released in January.
I finished Sarah M. Eden's book, The Lady and the Highwayman, which might be my favorite book of this month. The hero is one of the most unusual I've come across, being a urchin of the streets, grown up to be a successful author of Penny Dreadful stories. I liked how Eden mixed in chapters from the h and H's books that sounded like books these characters would have written. I'm looking forward to reading book 2. Wouldn't you know, during this busy time of year, several books I've waited for forever have finally become available at my library.
I'm finally reading The Madness of Lord Ian Mackenzie by Jennifer Ashley. I remember when this first came out and what a sensation it was, and I'm pretty sure I even bought a copy, but for whatever reason I didn't get to it, and I moved about three times since then and lost most of my book collection. Anyway! I'm very happy to say that so far it's lived up to the hype. It's as sexy and intriguing as it is sympathetic and sweet, and I think Ashley's prose is top shelf.
I'm rereading my last book for 2020. I can't believe we are finally at the end of the year. It's been such a tough year for many of us. Hopefully next year will be much better. So the book I'm rereading is Stormswept by Sabrina Jeffries. It's a reissue. It was originally under the pen name Deborah Martin. I've read the original as well as the reissue and there isn't much different. She aged the h 3 yrs and in the original
the H had other sexual partners when he was away. In the reissue, he doesn't cheat but lets the h think he did to hurt her like he believes she hurt him.
I finished Grace Burrowes 'A Duke Walked into a House Party a collection of two closely related novellas. One of the stories I have already read and pretty much forgotten about, so I was happy to reread it. I like Burrowes writing. It's entertaining and low angst, at least in this story. I'm not sure if it is always the case in her stories, but it seems in the books I've read of hers, the hero and heroine find and are attracted to each other pretty early in the story. Not a bad thing, I guess, considering Burrowes books are the only ones I never feel compelled to read the ending early.

I've read and reread that book. Glad that you enjoyed it, too!
