Let the reader beware, this series cannot be read out of order due to the intricate plot set up throughout the three books. Having said that, if you are a fan of paranormals at all, this series is a must-read. I’ve been waiting for Morgan’s story since he fell through the wormhole in the first…
Nathan Stone is a Tennessee gentleman whose world was ravaged by the Civil War.

Suzanne Robinson’s latest novel, The Legend, re-introduces us to some familiar characters, namely The Hero Who Can’t Let Himself Love Again and The Heroine Who Is Supposed To Be Intelligent But Is Really A Nitwit, here played by Galen de Marlowe and Honor Jennings. There are admittedly some new twists: He’s clairvoyant and she’s a…
Christina Kingston is an author who shows promise, but this particular book doesn’t quite deliver the goods. It had a lot going for it – and interesting plot, likable characters, and even a lovely title. But sometimes the devil is in the details, and that’s where this one bogs down.

Don’t know the difference between an annulment and a divorce and don’t want to? Do you wish that your historical heroines would act more like the characters on All My Children and less like…

But let me clear up the misconception straight away: a long lost Heyer it ain’t. Lord Nightingale’s Love Song isn’t a witty, ironic comedy of manners á la Georgette and it doesn’t…
Pinkerton agents are a fascinating part of American history, and yet they appear only rarely in historical fiction. Imagine my pleasure when I picked up Almost a Lady and found that the heroine is a Pinkerton agent who isn’t afraid to use her pistol and pearl-handled stiletto. Willow Hastings, as her name would suggest, is…
