I’ve read another book since having finished Julie Anne Long’s It Happened One Midnight, so I have forgotten some of the particulars, but I enjoyed another entry of the Pennyroyal Green series that seems so endless. This particular book, the eighth, is the story of Jonathan Redmond (third son of an aristocrat of unremembered rank) and Thomasina de Bellesteros, a popular, mysterious and attractive women who entertains in an eccentric Countess’ salon every week. Jonathan Redmond is a rake, or so his character description and […]
Spoiler alert: there is very little dancing, and none that can be described as dirty in this book
Avalon Harwood and Maximillian “Mac” Coltrane spent pretty much every summer together growing up, when the wealthy Coltrane family visited their giant mansion. First they were the best of friends, which developed into something more, until at seventeen, Mac broke Avalon’s heart when she heard him talking dismissively about her to his father. They never saw each other again, until now. In the intervening years, Avalon has developed a highly successful app and runs her own tech company out of San Francisco. Mac’s father was […]
An old favorite is still great on another read through
I have read this book several times before, but I’ve never reviewed it, so here we are! The other day I was going to ask the lovely CBR romance ladies for a recommendation. I wanted a historical with a house party, good banter, not too many outside plot distractions…and was going to cite this book as an example of what I wanted. Then I realized that I really just wanted to read this one again (but other suggestions that meet that criteria are always welcome!). […]
Julie Anne Long tries her hand at a contemporary romance. She should stick with her historicals…
Julie Anne Long has a lot of credit with me. She wrote What I Did for a Duke, which is a top 5 all time, top 3 historical romance for me. It is wonderful and amazing and you all should go read it right now. I’ll write about this mediocre effort while I wait. Ms. Long has decided to try her hand at contemporaries. Her effort is there. There’s some smolder there, but overall it just wasn’t the same. John Tennessee McCord, famous tv actor, […]
Not as entertaining as her historical novels
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 […]
I’m a trust fund baby, you can trust me
Two households, both alike in dignity, in fair Pennyroyal where we lay our scene. From ancient grudge break to new matrimony. When British mud makes British hands unclean.
