The Lord’s Maddening Miss is the fourth in the multi-author A Season to Wed miniseries. Lord Hawksmere, Hawk to everyone, has been foul-tempered ever since returning from Waterloo (he signed up for duty along with his three friends from the previous novels) and is determined not to burden a wife with his disposition. Miss Maggie…
This is one of those instances when I wish I could give out a combo grade, because deciding between a C+ and a B- was pretty difficult. Everything about Rules for Ruin by Mimi Matthews was fine. Not bad. Not great. Just… fine. Euphemia – Effie – Flite has been given a mission. Use her…
This review originally appeared in 2013. Fallen Angel tells the story of Verity Jollife, rather plain, twenty-six and unmarried, and Gabriel, Earl of Sherington. She is almost a generation younger than her older siblings and is regarded by them as a source of unpaid labour and generally treated as the poor relation. Gabriel has a…

A Wager at Midnight is a fun romance laden with tension, humor, and a real sense of history. I loved the supporting characters, liked the central romance, and overall felt a sense of peace as I was reading it. Scarlett Wilcox is a strong willed spinster whose lifelong curiosity about medicine has been driven by…
Well, this is fun. A Lady Would Know Better offers a lively heroine with no memory of the past and hero who is loving but weighed down by his memories of same. Throw in an enthralling mystery romance with a lot of humor and heart and you’ve got a winner. On his way to visiting…
This rollicking tale has a villainous heroine of grand proportions and a hero who is a real sweetheart and all-around good guy! It’s an impressive STEM romance and the second book in the Damsels of Discovery series. It’s angsty and dramatic but the hero melted my heart and I found it to be an entertaining…
