Zoe Archer’s Nemesis, Unlimited novels are certainly NOT your run-of-the-mill Victorian-set romances. There’s nary a duke or an earl in sight and, even though one of the main characters is obviously from the upper echelons of society, this story is set firmly in the ...
This story reads like a kind of 19th century episode of Hustle (that’s Leverage to those of you on the other side of the pond!). Nemesis Unlimited is an underground organization operating in the late Victorian era, which fights injustice and rights wrongs using whatever means necessary. In this, t ...
I don’t particularly like revenge stories or heroes who are escaped convicts, but it’s amazing how little all that matters when you are reading a good book. And Sweet Revenge is a good book.
When Jack Dalton finds out that the man who killed his sister is in town, he engineers his escape from ...

I divide C reads into Mehs and Buts; this is a But book. No, it’s not a 370-page snapshot of posterior extremities (sorry); instead, it’s a book that epitomizes contradictions. It’s a story filled with “Yeah, but…” statements. It’s a novel that hits good points, some bad points, and al ...

I had the greatest biology teacher my freshmen year of college. Among the many quirky things he did he dressed as a funeral undertaker for our first exam, had an open casket (no cadaver) on the lecture stage, and had funeral floral arrangements throughout the auditorium. Chopin's Funeral March greet ...

I'll admit it. I love cheesy adventure films. Most especially, cheesy treasure hunting adventure films.

I would have bought Scoundrel, the second volume in Zoë Archer’s Blades of the Rose series, for the setting alone: Most of its pages are spent on a small sailing boat island-hopping in the Aegean Sea – can you imagine anything more romantic? With lots of adventures magical and otherwise, it’s ...

Romance fans who have been asking for something different, here is your book. Warrior is set in Mongolia and the first in a series about the Blades of the Rose, a group of men and women who have banded together to protect magic artifacts from an evil group seeking to harness the powers of magic for ...
I enjoyed Zoe Archer’s first book, Lady X’s Cowboy. The hero and heroine of that book were not your usual couple – she was a Victorian peeress/entrepreneur and he was an American cowboy. Archer’s latest book, Love in a Bottle features another odd couple – she is a botanist and he is a m ...
Lady X's Cowboy is a fish out of water story about an American cowboy in Victorian London. It has its charms, as well as its problems.
Olivia, Lady Xavier was left a brewery, among other enterprises, by her late husband, a baronet who bought his title. Restless, she read and did research and when ...
