This is the second book in a series of historical romance about survivors of the Napoleonic Wars, The Survivors Club. This time we have our youngest member, Vincent, who unlike Hugo in The Proposal has a more noticeable issue from the wars: he’s blind. While on the run and hiding from his overbearing relatives Vincent is saved from a marriage trap by Sophia. Because of this rescue from her icky cousin she is thrown out from her aunt’s house, and in steps Vincent with an […]
The Rose & The Rake
I’ve lurked on Pajiba and subsequently this blog, and decided to take the plunge and join. I love to read, primarily historical romance; contemporary/new adult just don’t interest me. Whether I can review on a regular basis remains to be seen, but I hope to do my best! This book by Lorraine Heath is part of a series, Scandalous Gentlemen of St. James, and is actually the second generation of characters from a previous series but I think it works well enough on its own. […]
The Beauty and the Barrister
Lady Clara Fairfax, eldest daughter of the Marquess of Warford and sister to the Earl of Longmore, was raised to marry a duke. The Duke of Clevedon, to be precise, but he ended up falling in love with a dressmaker instead. Not that Clara is lacking in high-born suitors. Twice a week they show up in her mother’s drawing room to ask for her hand in marriage and Clara, well bred lady that she is, politely refuses them. Clara wants to make a difference. She […]
A new romance series about the survivors of war
So this year in the romance department I’m delving deeper into new authors with new series. Ellepkay has been recommending the Survivor’s Club series to me for quite a while now (probably close to a year), but starting in the late fall I decided to save some of these up for the hours and hours I will be sitting still under the heaviest thing in the world (although sleeping kittens are pretty much as heavy as a baby). The Survivor’s Club is a group of […]
A romance featuring canal engineering
The Way to a Duke’s Heart is the third book in a trilogy (The Truth About the Duke) and is best not read as a standalone. The romance is self-contained, but the B-plot is very much a continuation of a mystery that has developed over the course of the series. Mild spoilers for the prior two books may follow. Charlie de Lacey, eldest of a trio of brothers and heir apparent to the title Duke of Durham, has a blackmail problem: someone is threatening his […]
The Casanova of Cass County
All of the books in the pile were for my classroom library, and I was $4 short from getting the loyalty stamp card at my favorite independent book store. So back to the shelves it was so I could meet the minimum $30 purchase stamp. It took a while, but I finally settled on an author and genre of romance I had never read before: Beverly Jenkins and African-American historical romance. The selection, Jewel, turned out to be a satisfying one. Read the full review.
