Not That Duke begins with this author’s note: There’s no need to have read The Reluctant Countess, but if you have, you’ll notice that Part 1 of Not That Duke takes place in the same time frame. This is not true. I haven’t read The Reluctant Countess. If I had, I wouldn’t have been so bothered…
It Happened One Fight is just the sort of snappy screwball romantic comedy that the romance world has been waiting for. It pays a fine tribute to the 1930s romantic comedies it’s clearly based upon, and provides the reader with one heck of a rollicking ride. Joan Davis and Dashiell (Dash) Howard make beautiful music…
I was very impressed by Jess Everlee’s début, The Gentleman’s Book of Vices, a queer romance set in late Victorian London featuring a superbly written and emotional grumpy/sunshine romance, so I’ve been eagerly looking forward to reading more from her. A Rulebook for Restless Rogues is book two in the Lucky Lovers of London series,…
In Mimi Matthews’ Appointment in Bath, the Burton-Smythe family and the Beresford family hate each other, but when Ivo Beresford sees Meg Burton-Smythe in need of assistance after falling from her horse, it’s love at first sight. Two households, dignity, fair Verona, yadda yadda. Ivo and Meg are the children of the protagonists of a…
Caroline Linden is one of my favorite historical romance novelists. Her Scandalous series is one of my favorites in the genre–Love and Other Scandals is flat out fabulous–and I’ve enjoyed her most recent series, The Wagers of Sin. Fortune Favors the Viscount is the fourth and final novel and gets a pleaseed DIK from me….
Laura Lee Guhrke has done it again. I picked up Bookshop Cinderella on a Tuesday when I was bored and had nothing to do. By Wednesday I was re-reading my favorite parts and marveling over an author who can turn an age-old story into something fun and new. Maximillian Shaw, Duke of Westbourne, is determined…
Having thoroughly enjoyed A.J. Demas’ Sword Dance when I read it for a TBR Challenge prompt recently, I quickly picked up book two, Saffron Alley, which provides a change of pace and focus in that it’s centred far more on Varazda’s domestic life and the growth of his relationship with Damiskos than on a mystery….
Despite the Depression era setting, Aster Glenn Gray’s Tramps and Vagabonds generally has an upbeat feel to it as we join James and Timothy, who decide to ride the rails after they finish a six-month stint at the CCC – the Civilian Conservation Corps, an organisation founded in 1933 that provided jobs for unemployed young men….
Narrated by Dave Gillies A Scot’s Surrender is the third book in Lily Maxton’s series about the four Townsend siblings, who all relocate to the Highlands when the eldest brother, Theo, unexpectedly inherits a Scottish earldom and the remote Lynmore Castle. This is the only m/m book in the set; I read the series when…
Remember Me is the second book in a series about the Ware siblings, who had their lives interrupted by a family scandal, changing their family forever. I enjoyed the first book (Remember Love), so I was really excited to get my hands on this one. Sadly, however, I was very disappointed. Philippa is the oldest…
