Reading Report: March-Into-April

I finished The Bookshop of Second Chances by Jackie Frasier. In this romance, a soon-to-be-divorced woman from Sussex inherits a home in Scotland and sets up a whole new life for herself there, including a job at a the local bookshop. The main male character has some sexual history that’s hard to take (I mean, egads, what was the author thinking?), but if you can get past that and the incessant swearing, the banter is fun and the romance satisfactory. Grade: A-
I abandoned Pride, Prejudice, and Other Flavors by Sonali Dev. I have it on good authority that this Austen-inspired romance between a neurosurgeon and a chef is worth reading, but I wasn’t grooving on it. The neurosurgeon’s ego was getting on my nerves, and the subplot about her patient, an artist who must choose between death and blindness, was not something I felt like reading about right now (bad timing). Maybe I’ll give the book another try someday. For now, back to the library it goes.
Currently reading: D (A Tale of Two Worlds) by Michel Faber. Also reading Bringing Down the Duke by Evie Dunmore. I’m not sure I’m a fan of historical romance, but I did enjoy Dunmore’s Portrait of a Scotsman, so there’s a good chance I’ll like this one, too.
