Honeymoon for One by Rachel Bowdler: a Christmas romance!

 Honeymoon for One by Rachel Bowdler Honeymoon for One is a sapphic (female/female relationship) Christmas romance novel. It follows our exhausted heroine Robin who failed to cancel her honeymoon after her fiancee was caught cheating and has to decide whether to go solo. Her intended honeymoon was a ski trip to Canada, something she has no interest in and was going ahead just to please her soon-to-be wife. After frustrating talks with her mother and dread slowly consuming her, Robin impulsively decides to go to Canada and seize the day! Saying Robin is clumsy is a bit of an understatement. She reminds me of a golden retriever in human form. She is harmless and lovable and over time she has lost her independence and confidence. Neve is a ski instructor in the hotel Robin is staying in. She's grumpy and closed off, living day to day taking care of her husky Juniper and her grandfather Artie. After a rocky start to their acquaintanceship, the two get to know each other better as frien...

Daughter of the Pirate King by Tricia Levenseller review

Daughter of the Pirate King by Tricia Levenseller Tricia Levenseller is a great author, so when I started Daughter of the Pirate King I had high expectations. This YA pirate heist debut is filled with tension, danger and enemies-to-lovers-filled banter.  In the beginning, it can be easily seen that Alosa, the heroine of the duology, is the daughter of an infamous pirate. She purposely gets captured by an enemy ship playing the infuriating prisoner by day and an investigative thief by night.  Tricia does a fantastic job of showing sexism and misogyny among shipmates and in general among the people in this novel. Alosa is a very strong and independent girl who has been taught to rely on only herself but to the detriment of lacking love and affection from her father and growing up fairly lovely in a world where she is deemed useful to the men in her life.  In my opinion, although the slow story of the heist and mission itself, more importantly, it is about Alosa finding hers...
