During the month of December, I had some serious fun with my reading.
For the past few weeks I’ve been glomming Harlequin Presents novels. It’s been a number of years since I had read any. I’ve really enjoyed reading these books and particularly liked their Royal House of Niroli sub-series.
The Presents line is all about falling in love amid a glamorous international setting. While the heroes are alpha males, they aren’t domineering — just masterful and passionate. The setting is glitzy but never overshadows the heart of the books: romance.
The highlight of my reading was The Tycoon’s Princess Bride by Natasha Oakley. It’s part of the Niroli series, but it works quite well as a stand-alone book. I’d never read anything by Oakley previously and this book was an extremely pleasant surprise. I particularly liked her voice and the fresh take she gave to the series.
