The Wedding Game is the third in a series revolving around the Duncan sisters and readers will enjoy catching up with the three women and their current excursions. Just as with the previous two books, Feather writes a detailed story with an inviting plot and with charming women, yet with romance still a bit lacking…
Gaelen Foley’s debut is an old-school romance heavy on the fairy-tale aspect as it comes complete with a handsome prince, a fair maid whose esteem he must win, and a devastated kingdom requiring his noble touch to return it to its former glory. But if The Pirate Prince is a fairy tale, it’s a dark…
In Camelot’s Shadow is not a relaxing read. I was sitting on the edge of my seat for most of this book wondering how the lead characters could possibly prevail over the evil they had to overcome. I also have a confession: I really don’t know the “true” telling of Camelot. The last Camelot story…
The Bride Hunt is the second in the Duncan sisters trilogy and the stronger title of the two. Part of that success comes from the pacing. Because Ms. Feather introduced the Duncan sisters so thoroughly in The Bachelor List, she was able to give a little more time to Prudence’s romance this time around. That…
Your feelings about the latest installment in Elizabeth Boyle’s Brazen series, Brazen Temptress, will doubtless depend on your ability to tolerate the “Big Misunderstanding” plot. If you don’t have much patience with a hero and heroine who can’t trust each other, then this book will make you grit your teeth. If you can get past…
Lovers of beta heroes, I give you Derek Whittaker. He is (to quote Mrs. Malaprop) “the very pineapple of perfection” and all that a hero should be, whether he be alpha, beta, or gamma. The story is engaging, the rest of the characters are too, and I simply adored this book. Derek Whittaker is a…
2004 has been a wonderful reading year for me – until now. I will always remember It Takes a Hero by Elizabeth Boyle as the book that killed my winning streak. Regency society is in an uproar due to a popular series of novels starring an intrepid heroine, Miss Darby. It seems that Miss Darby…
Derek Whitaker meets and kisses a beautiful woman in a theater, only to have her give him the public cut at a ball. The woman is Cynthia Fitzwilliam, known in the ton as "the Frost Fair" because of her beautiful looks and very detached personality. She has grown up very much under her mother’s thumb,…
Castaway Hearts is a Super Regency romance. While it’s not as long or complex as a Regency-era historical romance, it’s not like a traditional Regency either. The characters are larger than life, there’s more sensuality than can be found in a trad, and the action/adventure plot is more prominent. Nancy Butler’s traditional Regencies romances are…
I have a bit of a love/hate relationship with Regency series featuring a group of male friends. On one hand, it can be really fun to read about a group of friends who bonded when they were young, particularly if the author is good at guy speak. And if you really like the characters, it…
