Eighteen year old Morgan Bedwyn, sister of the Duke of Bewcastle, is with friends in Brussels on the eve of the battle of Waterloo.

Rarely have I seen a heroine torture a hero as much as Aline tortures McKenna in Again the Magic. Don’t get me wrong. I loved their story, but I felt sorry for the hero, and had I been McKenna, I’d have thought twice about quickly forgiving Aline. It’s a mark of his character that he…
You know those authors that you think you’d probably like? You’ve definitely caught some good buzz and read a review or two that sounded interesting, but somehow you’ve never managed to actually getting around to trying her. I’ve meant to try Sabrina Jeffries for quite some time and, if I’m disappointed that I’m just now…
It was sheer coincidence that the last book I read from my TBR pile before reading this one was A Kiss to Die For, a Western also by Claudia Dain. Reading the books back-to-back was an interesting experience, and it certainly cemented my favorable opinion of Ms. Dain’s storytelling prowess and skill for characterization. Neither…
In The Tiger and the Tomb, Bonnie Vanak captures the grandeur and larger-than-life passion an Egyptian romance should have, then proceeds to bury both under a mountain of misunderstandings and sheer stupidity. There are parts of the story that show how good the book could have been. Too bad I had a hard time remembering…
Unexpected plot twists and a wonderfully appealing hero and hero elevate All I Ever Needed from other popular Regency-era historicals featuring men involved in secret work for the government. It’s the third in a series about the Compass Club, an organization started by four boys who met at school. Each boy had some family connection…
Shadow of the Sun is an exciting Egyptian adventure tale that should appeal to readers who enjoy action and exotic settings. Unfortunately, it’s also a romance, and things are less rosy on that end. For most of her life, Sarah Pendergrass’s father, Lord Whitehurst, had no use for his only child. He left her in…
Seen By Moonlight by Kathleen Eschenburg features likable protagonists, an unusual plot, a great sense of place and history, and is written in a beautiful style. There’s just one problem: it’s kind of boring. Annabelle Hallston is an unconventional young woman in 1860s Virginia society. When her scholarly father dies, she and her two brothers…
Celeste Bradley is turning into one of the more reliable authors of European Historicals and if this book isn’t an outstanding read, it’s a darn good one. And, frankly, considering what’s out there these days, there’s a lot to be said for that, isn’t there? The third book in her Liars Club series, The Spy…
No Place for a Lady took me a long time to read – a very, very long time to read. It started off interestingly enough, but after the first three chapters or so I lost interest in these characters, and things did not improve from there. Marcus Kane, Lord Chadwick, is the heir to an…
