The night of all nights

Night of Lyons by Chasity Bowlin, Ruth A. Casie, Lynne Connolly, Sandra Sookoo, C.H. Admirand, Sara Adrien, Belle Ami, Abigail Bridges, Jenna Jaxon, Aurrora St. James

October 3, 2023 by Pooja Leave a Comment

Many a Regency hero and heroine will meet their match at the masquerade ball held tonight in the Lyon’s Den, an infamous gambling hall. A Lyon With No Name (Chasity Bowlin) This was a solid start to the collection, with the tried-and-true pairing of wickedness and innocence being refreshed by William’s awareness that he must pull his affairs together for Ellie and his estate’s sake. The Lady and the Lyon’s Scandal (Ruth A. Casie) Eva is a clever character, and I enjoyed how she and […]

The Loyalty Test

Stand With Me, Earl by Kate Archer

September 29, 2023 by Pooja Leave a Comment

Viola is drawn to Roland, the Earl of Baderston, but she wants him to prove his loyalty before she’ll wed him. However, things go much farther than she expects when the rumors she starts about herself get out of hand… This is the third book in A Very Fine Muddle series, which are Regency romances about a very eccentric, unworldly family of debutantes. In my review of the second book I wondered how the author would pull off a heroine whose chief distinguishing feature thus […]

Bravery is Best

Be Daring, Duke by Kate Archer

September 25, 2023 by Pooja Leave a Comment

Rosalind Bennington wants her husband to be a courageous man – but in such a safe location as upper-class Regency London, this means having to orchestrate dangerous situations in which the Duke of Conbatten can prove his daring. This is the second book in the A Very Fine Muddle series, which follows five aristocratic sisters who have been raised by a fanciful hopeless romantic of an aunt and consequently have very fixed ideas on what their future husbands should be like. Learning from her elder […]

The Duelist and the Duke’s Wife

Entangled by Mary Lancaster

August 3, 2023 by Pooja Leave a Comment

CBR 15 Bingo: Take Flight – We first encounter Rosamund as she is making her escape from her claustrophobic life, and throughout the rest of the book she finds her wings. When Rosamund and Giles encounter each other on the road, she doesn’t know that he has just killed the Duke of Cuttyngham in a duel, and he doesn’t know that she is the Duchess. But by the time they find out, it’s too late – they’re already in love. I really enjoy Mary Lancaster’s books […]

“It is a nice thought, is it not?” Beatrice asked. “That we can go forward as romantic lunatics forevermore?”

Romance Me, Viscount by Kate Archer

June 9, 2023 by Pooja Leave a Comment

Fanciful Beatrice Bennington insists she will accept only a lovesick man as her husband, but her neighbor Matthew, a viscount, is convinced that all she will end up with is a bruised heart – unless he can prevent it. Kate Archer has kicked off a new series of Regency romcoms about the Benningtons, a close knit family with an hopelessly romantic bend, due to the parenting of an eccentric aunt. I’ve always enjoyed Kate Archer’s romances, which generally lean very heavily into comedy, so I […]

Get thee to a nunnery!

The Reluctant Countess by Eloisa James

May 9, 2023 by Pooja Leave a Comment

Yasmin’s reputation is tainted by her mother’s association with the Emperor Napoleon, and Giles certainly doesn’t need more scandal in his family. If only he could stay away from her… In a paradoxical way, though the author gave me more of the drama I’d complained was missing in How to Be a Wallflower, I disliked this book more. Indeed it made me grind my teeth I was so irritated with it sometimes. It is well-written, yes, which is true of pretty much all of James’s […]
