We interrupt this Star Wars binge to bring you some Regency romance

June 9, 2016 by Walking Widdershins 2 Comments

Hoyden: (n) a boisterous, bold, and carefree girl; a tomboy. Emma Harlow has built quite a reputation in London. She broke Sir Leopold’s record for racing a curricle from London to Newmarket (and she thinks she could have been even faster had propriety not required the presence of her brother in the carriage). She’s smart, she’s unconventional, and she’s funny, and no one wants that in a wife. She also really doesn’t like her twin sister’s fiance, Sir Waldo Windbourne (Emma calls him Windbag, for […]

I wish we still called them velocipedes.

April 21, 2016 by narfna Leave a Comment

I didn’t quite like this novella as much as everyone else seems to, but it definitely proves Courtney Milan hasn’t lost her touch with historical romance, after the disappointing first outing in this series. Her Every Wish is Daisy’s story. Daisy was Judith’s best friend from Once Upon a Marquess. She has dreams of opening her own business, and when the opportunity presents itself, she decides to enter into a contest to win money to open that dream business. The only problem is, she’s a […]

Due to his mother’s compulsive gambling, he’s had to sell off most of the horses in the stable, a lot of land and furniture, and reduce staff considerably.
