Isaac DeWitt went to see as a young boy and […]

Mia Vincy is the gift that keeps giving

A Dangerous Kind of Lady by Mia Vincy

December 30, 2020 by Malin Leave a Comment

While this is the third novel Mia Vincy has published, and the second book chronologically in her Stanhope Abbey series, all the books work well on their own. She writes excellent historical romances, though, so you should check out all of them. Arabella Larke has been promised to Guy Roth, the Marquess of Hardbury since they were both children. He’s been off exploring the world for years and years, and Arabella has been able to put off any other offers of marriage because she claimed to be […]

Worth it for the hilarious conversation about orchids alone

A Beastly Kind of Earl by Mia Vincy

December 30, 2020 by Malin Leave a Comment

Some years ago (I want to say three?), two noblemen lied at a ball and claimed to have slept with Miss Thea Knight. She was humiliated and scandalised and both family and high society rejected her. She’s been living lonely in the country under an assumed name as a ladies’ companion. Now she’s pretending to be her younger sister at a house party, so said sister can run away to Gretna Green and marry her true love. She also plans to publish a pamphlet with […]

A debut romance that is MUCH better than its painfully pink cover would indicate

A Wicked Kind of Husband by Mia Vincy

March 18, 2020 by Malin 3 Comments

4.5 stars Official book description: Cassandra DeWitt has seen her husband only once—on their wedding day two years earlier—and this arrangement suits her perfectly. She has no interest in the rude, badly behaved man she married only to secure her inheritance. She certainly has no interest in his ban on her going to London. Why, he’ll never even know she is there. Until he shows up in London too, and Cassandra finds herself sharing a house with the most infuriating man in England. Joshua DeWitt […]
