This is why we can’t have nice things.

  CURSE YOU, *Name Redacted.* CURSE YOU. This is all you’re frakkin’ fault. So, Friday I get this message: “I’m loaning you DEACON by Kristen Ashley. It’s actually okay. You may even enjoy it.” See? *Name Redacted* gets me. She knows that this train wreck of a writer is like crack to me and that I can’t stay away even though I pretty much hate her books. STOP PUSHING MY BUTTONS, DAMN IT. DEACON  is actually the fourth book in the Unfinished Heroes series. It’s the […]

Another Historical Romance, But with a Review in Verse

July 29, 2014 by Mrs. Julien Leave a Comment

I know, I’m sorry, I was bored. Let’s pretend it never happened. If you really must read it, and as your lawyer I advise against it, visit my blog. Other reviews (none of which rhyme, thank God) can be found on my list of books by author or The (Shameful) Tally 2014 which includes recommendations and author commentary.

A historical romance with a Botticelli painting and accurate fashion depictions

July 8, 2014 by Malin 1 Comment

Leonie Noirot is the youngest of the three Noirot sisters, and the only one still unmarried and able to spend all her energies on running Maison Noirot, the sisters’ successful dressmaking shop in St. James. The eldest sister, Marcelline (from Silk is for Seduction) is currently pregnant and rather indisposed and the middle sister Sophy (from Scandal Wears Satin) is off on an extended wedding trip in Scotland until the scandal surrounding her nuptials dies down.

A historical romance with a lot of stealing and scheming

May 4, 2014 by Malin Leave a Comment

3.5 stars Philip Astonley, youngest son of the Viscount Felkoner, also known as the Falcon to a select few (which is surprising to me as it’s not exactly a secret identity very different from his family name), is hired by the wealthy and powerful Marquess of Hedgrave to steal a sandalwood statue and bring it from India to England. He can barely believe his luck when he discovers that the statue is given as a gift to Miss Amanda Davencourt as a farewell gift from […]
