Runaway bride and out of work guitarist

June 28, 2016 by Malin 2 Comments

Lydia Green is sent a video of her fiancee making out (and more) with his best friend/best man shortly before she’s supposed to walk down the isle. Utterly humiliated, she leaves her phone on the bed and does the only thing she can think of, run away. Even in full bridal gear, she manages to hoist herself over the very tall fence at the back of the property and climbs in the open window of the house next door. Fairly banged up and utterly devastated, […]

Not as entertaining as her historical novels

June 19, 2016 by Malin 2 Comments

3.5 stars Actor John Tennessee McCord was the star of a long-running TV show, but recently, his career has taken a bit of a dive. Having been one half of a big Hollywood power couple and then being rather publically dumped last year certainly hasn’t helped. Now he’s got a new TV series lined up about the California gold rush and while scouting out the locations for it, his pickup truck breaks down in Hellcat Canyon. Not that he minds all that much, as the […]

No young woman wants to get married after reading Tolstoy

June 19, 2016 by Malin Leave a Comment

Lady Helen Ravenel has lived a very sheltered existence on her family’s estate and spent much of her life in mourning for one family member or another. Until very recently, the estate was so deeply mired in debt that Helen and her younger sisters were unlikely to have any dowries and it was very important that Helen and her sisters marry rich men. The current Earl, Helen’s cousin (who inherited the estate after the death of their brother and in short order did his best […]

RIP Ms Beverley

3.5 stars Cynric “Cyn” Malloren, one of the younger brothers of the extremely powerful and influential Marquess of Rothgar, is on his way back to his regiment after a convalescence and is bored and looking for adventure, when his coach is held up by a couple of highwaymen. Noticing that there is something strange about the pair, Cyn refuses to comply with their orders and ends up “kidnapped” and taken to a small cabin in the woods. He quickly figures out that his captors are […]

“I don’t want to go on the cart! I feel fine. I think I’ll to go for a walk!”

June 19, 2016 by Malin 2 Comments

3.5 stars Kivrin Engle is a young history student at Oxford University, whose dream it is to time travel back in time to the Middle Ages. You see, in the 2050s, historians have the option to travel back in time as a research tool, to truly discover what the past was like. Most historians travel back to the early to mid 20th Century, and there are certain periods that are deemed far too dangerous. The Middle Ages has generally been deemed one of them, due […]

June 12, 2016 by Malin 1 Comment

Gregory Bridgerton is the second youngest of eight siblings and the last of the Bridgerton offspring to remain single. Having seen all of his siblings settle into loving marriages, he is certainly a believer in true love. He just hasn’t met the right woman yet. He’s quite convinced he’ll know once he finally meets the one. Only, when Gregory finally falls in love with a woman, the charming and stunning Miss Hermione Watson, she’s already in love with another man. Her father’s secretary, to be […]
