Blurb:

Fiona Carlisle didn’t think anything could hurt as much as finding her fiancé in bed with her sister. But receiving an invitation to the happy couple’s engagement party comes a close second. Determined to prove to her family and herself that she’s moved on, Fiona has every intention of attending, looking red-hot and with an even hotter man on her arm.

The Good, the Bad and the Are-You-Kidding-Me?

Welcome to our new edition of The Good The Bad and the Are-you-Kidding-me? You must be wondering how we decide on which topic to make each of our post about…okay maybe you’re not wondering…it’s a real mystery to us too! Let’s take today for example…I’m not sure how we ended up deciding we should talk about Yellow Historical covers! It’s a miracle but hopefully entertaining enough. *wink*
On a side note I should mention Yellow is a favorite color of mine *g*

Susi: The first thing I always notice on historical romance covers is the swirly font. They usually all look the same and that really annoys me. I like the contrast of the yellow dress and the blue background on the Bond …

Around the Bookish World: News Week-in-Review

Welcome to this week’s news post and its a jammed packed with major news from Karen Marie Moning and other interesting developments in the world of publishing.

The NY Times strikes again with another article about books, YA audiences and how boys are not choosing to read as much than their girl counterparts because not enough male characters are the main protagonists in the books that they are aimed at. I find this reasoning pretty funny and insulting because when I was a teen, I had difficulties FINDING a book that had a strong female character in the genres of scifi/fantasy that was aimed at YA’s. I thank the Gods when I discovered Robin McKinley and Tamora Pierce who wrote these types of heroines but they were the exceptions but as a female I had no issues or problem reading …
