When you’re as old as I am, a prompt like “back in my day” isn’t as easy to fulfil as it might seem. Yes, it offers a lot of scope, but that scope also makes it difficult to choose a book to fit, and for the same reason – too many “my day”s over too…
I read most – if not all – of the historical romances Virginia Heath wrote for Harlequin Historical, and gave several of them DIK grades. The stories were engaging, warm and funny, the characters were well-developed and the romances were sexy and full of chemistry. I lost track of her when she switched publishers, so…
This novella is the long-awaited story of Isolde and Isaiah and it’s full of passion and raw emotion. If you are a fan of Julie Anne Long’s books, especially the Pennyroyal Green series, this is a must read! I haven’t been able to stop thinking about it – it’s so good! The story is a…
Sarah Mallory’s A Kiss to Stop a Wedding is a charming, character-driven Regency romance featuring likeable, sensible leads in a slow-burn love story filled with longing and denial as they try to fight the impossible attraction growing between them. It’s well-written, engaging and very readable, with strongly characterised principals and secondary cast, and some lovely…
(this review was originally published at Romantic Historical Reviews in 2014) I have thoroughly enjoyed each of the books in Ms MacLean’s Rules of Scoundrels series, but I think Never Judge a Lady By Her Cover is quite possibly the best of the lot!

Next in Harper St. George’s Doves of New York series, Eliza and the Duke, features Eliza Dove, the youngest of the infamous American heiress sisters trying to find titled husbands, and Simon Cavell, a former prizefighter hired to watch over Eliza, her mother, and her sister. Eliza sneaks into the Montague Club where Simon works…
To Defend a Damaged Duke, Fearne Hill’s second foray into historical romance, is a cross-class, second-chance love story featuring a rather serious, introverted duke and the prickly owner of a gentleman’s club, who were lovers as young men – but were cruelly separated and have not seen each other for a decade. Rather like the…
I usually post new-to-me reads for TBR Challenge, but this month I just had to go for a reread because when I saw the theme of “road trip”, one book instantly leaped into my mind. I found The Cockermouth Mail by Dinah Dean at a library sale back in middle school, and absolutely loved it….
This review originally appeared at Romantic Historical Reviews in 2013 The events in Beckman: Lord of Sins, book four in Grace Burrowes’ Lonely Lords series, run parallel to events that take place in book two, Nicholas: Lord of Secrets, and there are several references throughout as to what Nick is up to, rattling around in…
Originally published on February 2, 1996, I think this was the first DIK given at All About Romance! Have you read it? Scoundrel is a rip-roaring romance set in Regency England. Lady Lily Walters must hide her identity as a master cryptographer and so acts the flirtatious, empty-headed chit. The Duke of Remmington, notorious…
