Before I continue to catch up on reviewing books I read last year, I want to take a moment to thank my ones of loyal readers who have all been waiting so patiently for more posts; silently and without interruption, or page views of the site to disturb my concentration, ignoring my blog completely to make sure I felt no pressure, going about your lives as though my sporadic reviews all of books in exactly the same genre are not the fulcrum of your very […]
A historical romance with a scandalous widow and a stuffy Duke
3.5 stars Thomas Fitzcharles, the Duke of Castleton, is everything that is proper and dignified. The Dukes of Castleton tend to marry wealthy ladies of impeccable pedigree to enhance their holdings and fortune with each new generation. Thomas’ father was an exception, marrying for love, and it’s clear to Thomas that their marriage was not a success. As such, he is determined to win the hand of the eminently proper and extremely wealthy Miss Anne Brotherton, who thanks to being her grandfather, the Earl of […]
Sometimes NOT being on the run can cause quite a strain on your relationship
4.5 stars So I’ve already raved at you here AND here about why you should be reading this comic. If you haven’t read it yet (what is wrong with you, do you not like awesome things?), this trade is not the place to start. It collects issues 19-24 of an ongoing story. I’m going to try really hard to review it without spoiling anything major, but tread with caution if you’re not caught up. Marko and Alanna and their hunted little family are laying low […]
A historical romance with wedding planning…and lots of cake
For eight long years, Miss Clio Whitmore has been waiting for her betrothed, Piers Brandon, now the Marquess of Granville to stop travelling the globe and avoiding her. They’ve barely seen each other since they got engaged, and Piers has never even kissed her. Then there’s the fact that Clio’s frighteningly ambitious mother did everything in her power to make sure Clio was the perfect Marchioness and diplomat’s wife, making sure that her entire life was a training exercise, to the point of starving her […]
A House for the Season – Book 3
Another year has passed at the house in Mayfair, and this season brings the young and beautiful (and poor, and naive) Harriet Metcalf. She has inherited (sort of) her late neighbor’s daughters, who are barely younger than she is. In his will, she controls the estate until the girls are of age, and the dad specified in his will that Harriet was to take the girls to London for the season to marry them off. But here’s the thing. Harriet is beautiful. Too beautiful. And […]
A historical romance with double agents
I’m back! Did you miss me? I finally finished enough work to start catching up on my reviews. Brace yourselves for quite a few in the coming week. This is the fifth book in Joanna Bourne’s Spymasters series, but as the books are written out of chronological order historically speaking, and some overlap (for those who HAVE read the previous books in the series, there’s a really interesting blog post here explaining where the various books fit into the historical time line), it’s not actually that big […]
