A Wanted Man

When I saw the cover of Rebecca Hagan Lee's A Wanted Man, I have to admit that I expected a gunslinger romance of some sort. The title and cover just do not match the tale of boomtown San Franscisco that I encountered instead. While it has its moments and I found the background fascinating, I have t ...

Truly a Wife

Rebecca Hagan Lee's fourth book in the Free Fellows League series, about a boyhood club whose members took an oath to be heroes for England in the fight against Napoleon, suffers from two of the most dreaded maladies in romance: Implausibility Syndrome and Sequelitis. Daniel, Duk ...

Hardly a Husband

Hardly A Husband is based around one of those increasingly-ubiquitous school friends clubs - in this case the Free Fellows League. The members of the FFL have pledged not to get tangled up with women who have marriage on their minds. Nope, our guys are going to have fun until they are at least thirt ...

Merely the Groom

I have a bit of a love/hate relationship with Regency series featuring a group of male friends. On one hand, it can be really fun to read about a group of friends who bonded when they were young, particularly if the author is good at guy speak. And if you really like the characters, it can be fun to ...

Always a Lady

Following Once a Mistress and Ever a Princess, Always a Lady is the final installment in a trilogy featuring the multitude of mistresses and illegitimate get of the Marquess of Templeston. These ladies will be recognized only by a locket they wear (a gift from the apparently randy old gent), and the ...

Ever a Princess

There's an energy and attention to detail that makes Ever a Princess quite fun to read, but the enjoyment is hampered by the fact that so many of the plot points have the wispy logic of a fever dream. When the king and queen of Saxe-Wallerstein-Karolya are murdered by a usurper, Princess Georgiana a ...

Once a Mistress

Once a Mistress by Rebecca Hagan Lee seems to be the first book in a series about the children - legitimate and otherwise - of the Marquess of Templeston. Judging by this book, the series should be worth reading. Four years ago, Drew Ramsay, son of the Marquess, intended to marry Kathryn Markinso ...

A Hint of Heather

For those who love Scottish romances and appreciate a fish-out-of-water story, Rebecca Hagan Lee's A Hint of Heather is likely to please. This charming tale reverses some standard expectations of the Scottish romance. A Highland clan kidnaps a spouse for its laird - but this time the laird is a woma ...

Whisper Always

There have been authors and readers who have suggested that we at AAR should only write nice things about the novels we read. I have a few nice things to say about Whisper Always: The hero became almost likable during the final third of the book. It takes place during the Victorian times - a ...

Gossamer

It is very rare to have a hero win you over within the first few pages of a book, but Gossamer's James Cameron Craig manages to do just that. From the moment he gets up in the middle of the night to check on a weeping woman next door, James starts to win the heart of the reader. And when he admits t ...
