This is the seventh book featuring a heroine from The Distinguished Academy of Governesses. I have enjoyed Christina Dodd’s work in the past – Candle in the Window, That Scandalous Evening and Rules of Engagement are all on my Keeper Shelf. However, I stopped reading her several years ago when it seemed that her books…
Before writing this review, I spent some time considering my view of wastrels as heroes. Is it necessary for one to be entirely redeemed and a pillar of society by the book’s end or can a hero remain largely unchanged if he becomes immensely lovable? Well, the hero of One Little Sin challenged my definition…
Rules of Passion is the second in a trilogy about the Greentree sisters, who as children were kidnapped from their mother (a famous courtesan named Aphrodite), and found and adopted by Lady Greentree. Now grown, they have recently discovered the identity of their natural mother and have reestablished a relationship with her. This book tells…

The books in Jocelyn Kelley’s Knight series certainly have eye-catching titles. The series focuses on women raised and trained at St. Jude’s Abbey, where, in addition to the usual spiritual training, they are taught to be skilled fighters pledged in service to Queen Eleanor. As the name of the abbey would suggest, the Queen calls…
This is a SuperRegency from Signet, which means it has a greater page count and more sensuality than your basic Regency, both of which Elena Greene puts to good use in Lady Dearing’s Masquerade. The widowed Olivia, Lady Dearing, survived ten hellish years with her husband and now that her year of mourning is over,…
This book gave me a terrible feeling: that I’ve become completely jaded as a romance reader. The Unwilling Bride is a Medieval – one of my favorite subgenres – and it’s about two people betrothed as children, but separated ever since, finally marrying – a plot I really enjoy. So why did this book almost…
It is obvious that Rachel Bailey loves her work as a civil engineer in Victorian England. She is ostracized by most social circles and must struggle in obscurity in Ireland with her work turned in under the name of a male engineer in her firm. Even so, Rachel, a shareholder in her father’s firm of…
Marcus Marsden, the Earl of Westcliff, has been a supporting character in several of Lisa Kleypas’ previous novels. He finally meets his match and gets his own love story in this second entry of the Wallflower series. The nouveau-riche Bowmans, manufacturers of scents and soaps, have been unable to break into the very stuffy New…
I am a fan of Nicole Jordan’s books but seem to hit or miss with the novels in her Guardians series. After being disappointed in the first novel and loving the second, I looked forward to Wicked Fantasy. It didn’t live up to my expectations. Antonia was 17 when she met Deverill after he joined…
