The Knight and the Rose is a Medieval with a capital M, and those of you who read Isolde Martyn’s debut book, The Maiden and the Unicorn, know exactly what this means. If you like historicals with a lot of attention to detail and a real sense of the period, this very well may be…
Readers who loved Isolde Martyn’s The Maiden and the Unicorn have been waiting (patiently or not) for the stateside publication of her next book. Here it is, and it takes the reader for an exciting ride as it follows the story of a forced, false marriage and how the two parties involved eventually make it…
A Townhouse for Tessa is the straw that broke my own poor camel’s back. It had so many errors, inaccuracies, and other problems that it has caused me to reevaluate whether I want to continue reading traditional Regency Romances. Upon the death of her grandmother, Tessa Lockhard learns that she is not who she thinks…
With all the complaints about terrible titles for series romances, let’s praise this one. Silk, Lace & Videotape is one great title and it actually has something to do with the plot of the book. As for the book, it was okay, but not as memorable as its title. As there were elements I enjoyed…

Lucy Garwood, just turned sixteen, is adjusting to a comfortable life…
In Greek mythology the goddess Demeter is presented as a victim. Her beloved daughter Persephone was kidnapped by Hades and required to spend six months each year in the underworld because she ate six pomegranate seeds. During that time, Demeter mourns and refuses to let anything grow. But what if Demeter wasn’t really the wronged…
I admit it. Dark Legend is my first Carpathian – and Christine Feehan – novel. I’ve been hearing about them for quite some time and even have her non-Carpathian The Scarletti Curse in my TBR pile. Ms. Feehan’s latest offering centers around an ancient Carpathian male named Gabriel, and Francesca Del Ponce. Gabriel and his…
