It’s perhaps a bit late for Thanksgiving, but this year I am quite thankful for new authors with great stories to tell. When so many try to claim that Historical Romance is a dead genre, authors like Anna Harrington manage to stir the embers by creating stories full of the situations we all love with…
Elizabeth Hoyt’s Maiden Lane series of books set in Georgian London has been consistently entertaining, well-written and researched and has produced a number of memorable characters and sensual love stories which have proved incredibly popular. Amazingly, now nine books in, the series shows no sign of running out of steam, as this latest offering, Sweetest…
This second book in Jennifer McQuiston’s Seduction Diaries series re-acquaints readers with Lucy Westmore, the free-spirited, rather hoydenish younger sister of the heroine of the previous book. The Spinster’s Guide to Scandalous Behavior is a deftly written story that packs quite the emotional punch and boasts plenty of humour and sexual tension between the leads….
First in a new series from this much loved author, The Match of the Century tells the story of Elin Morris, a beautiful young woman from a loving, wealthy family who has been promised for years to a handsome young duke – and who would thus seem to have it all. But Elin has kept…
Narrated by Nicholas Boulton A couple of months ago, Laura Kinsale announced on her website that although Nicholas Boulton had finished recording all her books (boo!) he was going to be recording some more historical romances (yay!) – “recent titles that I’ve loved and appreciated for their quality and emotional intensity”. That recommendation together with…
Now that I’ve finished Courtney Milan’s Once Upon a Marquess, I am very excited about the next book in her new series. This novel has a different feel to it than many of her previous books, but it is a feel that is unique and refreshing. Though many grumbled when the book was not released…
Anne Gracie’s The Perfect Rake is a thoroughly enjoyable story which, while mostly light-hearted and humorous, is nonetheless peppered with some darker themes and incidents which add weight to the overall texture and provide a necessary counterpoint to a book which could otherwise have turned into a farce. It’s unusual to open an historical romance on…
After reading Jill Sorenson’s blog about “Dangerous Fantasies”, I checked my Goodreads list to see if I had read Catherine Coulter’s Rosehaven. I did not have it listed among the books I have read, so I decided to find a copy and see what Ms. Sorenson saw in this book. About thirty pages in, I…
When a trilogy is called The Heirs Club of Scoundrels, who can resist? I love a good Regency, and I love a good scoundrel, so what could possibly go wrong? Plus, we have a feisty heroine with a scheme, scoundrel friends of the hero, and a small pack of stray dogs. Then there’s the whole…
Regency farces tend not to be my cuppa since I prefer a more serious look at the era. But I found this a winsome tale, with its casual attitude towards the rules and lighthearted look at life and love quite enjoyable. It won’t make my keeper shelf but it was a fine way to spend…
