This is my first re-read of this book. My original review can be found here. With the other two books in The Turners series, I have re-read the books more than once over the years. I read Unclaimed back in 2011 and haven’t revisited it since. Until now. While I would still rank it as the weakest of the three books in the trilogy, that is only really because one of the books has to come in third place. In my memory, Mark and Jessica’s story wasn’t as engrossing and […]
I just didn’t care…at all
2.5 stars Three years ago, Seraphina “Sera” Bevingstoke, Duchess of Haven, miscarried her daughter (seriously this is NOT a spoiler, it happens in like the second or third chapter) and was persuaded by the Dowager Duchess of Haven that maybe it was best if she just disappeared. With financial help from her antagonistic mother-in-law, Sera flees her disaster of a marriage and goes to America, where she finds a business partner and something she enjoys doing enough to dull the pain in her heart. But […]
What happens at Vega’s….
So this is a fairly standard historical romance, the first in a new series by Ms Linden – The Wagers of Sin. I feel like I’ve read several books lately with a similar premise – young, beautiful woman is left nearly destitute after the death of loved ones, and seeks to make a fortune by gambling. And in the course of this gambling, she meets handsome, wealthy lord who falls into lust with her and must have her. In this case, we have Sophie Graham, […]
This series makes for an excellent book binge.
I almost feel like I don’t want to write a review of this book, just maybe sit with it a while, scroll through and read some of my favorite parts again. But in short, I really liked it and it’s a more than worthy trilogy ender. Even with the lackluster first book, I would still recommend this series, but you definitely need to read all of them, as the central plot would be pretty confusing if you didn’t. This book wraps up the plot started […]
This book is yes.
This was FUN. I liked the first one, but it was missing something for me. This one, perhaps because its central characters weren’t so quiet and unassuming, intrigued me right away and didn’t let up. Nathaniel Roy is a crusading journalist who is determined to expose the secrets of two big name spiritualists currently practicing in London. He sees what they do as an abomination, taking advantage of naïve and grieving people’s trust and pain, and making money off of it. Nathaniel is also sensitive […]
Choices and Second Chances
Kate is the oldest daughter in her slightly untraditional family. She and her siblings are all named after Shakespeare characters, something she can blame on her actress mother. Her father was the second born son of an earl, and his family disinherited and broke off all contact when he married so far below his station. While the rest of the family doesn’t care about the loss of status they never enjoyed, Kate dreams of reuniting the two branches of the family, being accepted as a […]
