Romance on the Rocks

Where Happily Ever After is always on Tap!

Trope! The Virgin Librarian

September 27, 2016 by J. Keely Thrall 1 Comment

When I first started reading romance (around age 13), I pretty much read whatever I could get my hands on. Slowly, I began gravitating to certain story lines - a bluestocking Regency heroine facing her debut in the Ton?

I had a fun little story all ready for this month's blog, but then Sarah MacLean happened. Her latest release is A Scot in the Dark. It hit my Kindle a week or two ago, but it's been hectic and I didn't have a lot of time to read since it downloaded.
