Everything I enjoy in a historical romance can be found in K.J. Charles’ A Gentleman’s Position, the third novel in her Society of Gentlemen series. Accurate, confident and luscious, the writing brings Lord Richard Vane and his ‘fox’, David Cyprian, to glorious life. I have awarded a richly deserved ‘A’ for this novel, one notch…

Love Me Like a Rock is the sixth in the Bend or Break series by A.J. Cousins. Released on the same day is Hard Candy, the seventh and final book in the series. As they are both short novels, Samhain is also releasing them together, in print and e-book format, as Between a Rock and…
Megan Erickson’s Out of Frame is the third book in her marvellous In Focus series. The author continues the series’ road-trip theme, but this time sets the majority of the plot on board a cruise ship during Spring Break. This rite of passage for American students is a bit of a mystery to the British…
Magic and m/m and Victorian London. Yes, please. This is my basic response to just about everything by K.J. Charles these days. I adored her Charm of Magpies series, and the whole world she’s built, and this newest one (which looks to be the start of its own series, perhaps?) fits in perfectly. Crispin Tredarloe…
