I have a soft spot for Anne Stuart’s books. When she’s at her best, her romances are a masterclass in dark, gripping romance, her heroes are morally iffy and complex and, whoa, she can write sexual tension and release to die for. Which is why It Takes a Thief left me sighing, not in delight…
I’ve been waiting for this book from Lorraine Heath, which returns us to the world of the Scandalous Gentlemen of Saint James. Our hero is Viscount Langdon, the son of the Earl of Claybourne (In Bed with the Devil) and our heroine, Marlowe, is an infamous courtesan. It’s 1879 and Langdon is languishing on his…
The Wrong Lady Meets Lord Right is another of Suzanne Allain’s quick-to-read sweet Regencies, with a charming center of fluff and gossip and plenty of tart social commentary to be had. This isn’t my favorite among her works, but if you know what Allain does, then you know what you’re looking for – and should…
With a theme like “It’s a party!”, I knew I had to find a festive read to close out the 2024 TBR Challenge. A Mary Balogh Regency from the early 1990s proved just the ticket for this one. I love holiday romances, so I’d already read most of the ones on my shelf, but for…
Narrated by Simon Goldhill Unnatural is a childhood-friends-to-lovers story featuring Iain Sinclair and James Hart, whose years-long friendship goes disastrously wrong and causes them to spend several years deliberately avoiding each other. It’s 1824, and Iain has just resigned his army commission and accepted a post as a government agent in India. He will be…
A Wager to Win the Debutante is the first book in Eva Shepherd’s new Rakes, Rebels and Rogues series, and in it, a wealthy rail baron, Thomas Hayward, endeavors to help debutante Miss Grace Lowerby capture the heart of a duke by pretending to court her. Thomas has an ulterior motive, however, as he has…
This third book in Alexis Hall’s Something Fabulous series of (faux) Regency romps is very much a love story – but not a genre romance. Rather, it celebrates platonic love – and does it incredibly well – and tells the story of two dear friends who, as the synopsis indicates, prove that a bumpy road…
I have been looking forward to this book for four years which is how long it’s been since her last one came out. I was not disappointed! This is the third in the Greycourt series and I enjoyed being back in Hoyt’s world! I will say that, when I began reading, I had to work…
Mimi Matthews does it again with The Muse of Maiden Lane, recovering from the slight slump that was The Lily of Ludgate Hill, the third Belles of London novel. Overall, it’s been one of my favorite series from her, and this volume adds to the fun. This is a cozy romance about two people who…
Sally Malcolm’s No Man’s Land is a darkly chilling paranormal historical romance set in 1917 that draws on ancient folklore and superstition to weave a compelling (and scary!) story of secrets, lies, and betrayals as the war raging in Flanders threatens to bring the horror of the battlefields to the streets of London. Josef Shepel…
