If Austen Had Included Sex Scenes, This May Have Been the Result
After seeing several glowing reviews of this novel on the Cannonball blog, and being in need of a new romance author, I ended up picking this one up and quickly following it up with the other two novels of the trilogy. Despite that, I couldn’t quite figure out how to review this one, because every time I thought of certain things to say, I felt like I was insulting other romance novels which wasn’t my intent. Several other authors also add complexity to their characters, […]
Hit Me, Baby, One More Time (Fancy Black Jack means Britney references)
I would say the title is reaching a bit with this one since the only dukes that appear are not exactly main characters, but the alliteration is nice, and Alex is definitely portrayed as a bit devilish in the beginning, until the heroine gets to know his true self rather than the front he portrays to the public. In my review of the previous novel, I had made a comment wishing for a few more twists before the happy ending, and this novel certainly delivers […]
Back from the dead, the earl seeks vengeance
This book is the latest in the Rules for the Reckless series, though it’s very easy to read as a stand alone. It is linked somewhat to Ms Duran’s debut book, The Duke of Shadows, which I read last year but completely forgot about for the most part until the end of this one. So whether that’s good or bad, I’m not sure, take it as you will. This is the tale of Liam Devaliant, Earl of Lockwood, who mysteriously disappeared on his wedding night […]
Will be reading more Loretta Chase!
Well, I see what people like about Loretta Chase! She’s fun. I have been reliably informed that this book of hers is good, but not her best work. I can see that. Parts of it were incredibly enjoyable, and parts of it felt a little under-baked and overwritten. But first let’s talk about the enjoyable stuff, because there was a lot of it. The premise here is really fun. Lady Olympia Hightower gets a little sloshed on her wedding day and decides, hey, actually I […]
The Scientist Duke
Society’s most coveted duke finds the one thing wealth and position cannot buy—the perfect partner… This is apparently the second book in The Duke Trilogy, but you’d be hard pressed to know that other than the title. I didn’t read the first one (The Scottish Duke), and there was no mention of previous characters or plots. The duke in question here is Jordan Hamilton, Duke of Roth – a second son who inherited the title after the deaths of his father and older brother (a […]
