Yes, I have read some before. Can you tell me in what situation does Clarrissa Holt, Toby’s wife, get the…

This sounds like a Caz complaint! It makes so many of our readers crazy when the rules of the aristocracy…

I can’t believe the great Jo Beverley wrote this review!! I’ve not read these books but this review makes me…

I liked the romance in this, I liked Thomas & Rose, I would give it a B. Except … spoilers…

Great overview of the romance between Lymond and the wonderful Philippa, my favorite female character in literature.

I remember thinking this was a good but tough read.

I balled my eyes out at the end. She was so brave.

In the assitant to the villain, how many times have you wanted them to kiss with the tension and closeness…

Hi. I don’t really have anything important to say but don’t you find it cute how trystan told blade to…

The most recent list has links to the reviews which have sensuality ratings. Thanks!

Sensuality ratings would helpful too. Thank you for all you do.

Coming at this many years later, ALL of Ms Riley’s books are on Audible amd read by the inimitable Alex…

Thanks Nikki! I have all of the earlier series by this writing duo on my reading list, which should tide…

It just seemed like noise to me.

Honestly, if Quinn had written about, say, the kids she’d already given everyone maybe it would’ve been more interesting? I’d…

Sounds atrocious. Let’s stop romanticizing abuse

It didn’t wow me when I read it at all.

I just read this one and whew. C- at best, and that’s only for Violet’s story. I felt like I…

I’ve rarely read an amnesia plot I like–what would you recommend?

I actually like amnesia plots so I tried this. My big caveat is the premise—a man and woman are forced…

Thank you so much for this review. I am at about page 90 of the book and wondering what the…

“Hey, here at AAR, we ask that you keep your posts about the books and not about the reviewers or…

I am so glad the lists are helpful. It always makes me happy to see how popular they are!

Were that true!

Perhaps I’m just showing my age, but it should not be ‘You write your book, get it published, and find…

I was waiting for this list for ages! Thank you so much for the list. I don’t read romance books…

There’s nothing above me on this post except for the comment I was responding to.

Checking back on this almost five years later and my perspective has changed. Not because I don’t love a good…

>Brother >Author of review is clearly a woman. Conceitedly claiming that you’re an anthropologist in a comment for a review…

God this must be the reviewer that rated this book on good reads that made me worried about finishing reading…

I’m nearly finished and I’m loving it. Everything you posted is true.If you feel the same, please add The Innkeeper…

I hope you love it! Our readers tend to adore Reading’s interpretations.

Omg I was on the fence about getting the audiobook version. Idk, it just felt like Kate Reading wouldn’t do…

I hope readers will continue to come here and enjoy the work!

The AAR 2010 list was when I first stumbled onto this site and never looked back. It was like being…

This just popped up on Kindle Unlimited.

thank you, I had it in print, at this price, it is worth buying for kindle and rereading – I…

It is currently on sale so I have decided to buy it and see what I think about it. It…

I like it.

I am currently watching, for the first time, The Morning Show. It is fascinating to see how in the grip…

Probably smug. Maybe I will start a storm here but I won’t be back to check the comments. About 8…

I am writing a piece about this time. I do wonder how all those who couldn’t wait to shut down…

The description of the book on Goodreads does say it’s for those who like Isekai portal fantasy – this is…

Yes, Robert, I am also ready for book 2! I hope it won’t take too long to be published.

I only have less then 30 pages left and I’m already getting the dreaded book hangover. Googling so I can…

I wish those authors had been more invested in the success of AAR over the past eight years.

Almost none of her best Westerns are, though. Only To Love a Lawman.

Very interesting. Thank you for doing this.

There are quite a few on Amazon US, too. Never Love a Law Man, Marry Me, Scarlet Lies, Velvet Fire,…

Awww, that’s so kind – thank you for saying that. It’s nice to know I’ve helped you to find good…

There is a substantial amount on Amazon.de, including most books that you ranked high here. Some, weirdly, I found by…

Many of us, though, for many reasons, are far more comfortable reading ebooks. It’s a bummer they’re not available.

If you’ve enjoyed the authors’ Hidden Legacy book, you’ll like this. The worlds aren’t similar, but the characters of Maggie…

I have just read my first one. I really like her, she holds my attention well, with her mix of…

Caz has a blog where she posts her reviews- it’s here Caz’s Reading Room https://share.google/kGrU7D3nAY94PzXuZ

Thank you for doing the list one last time, Dabney. I’ve read 86 of these – and all of the…

Huge Jo Goodman fan here, although I’ve read and enjoyed her American Westerns more than her earliest work. Used books…

One final look back at one of my favorite books…….and a goodbye to Caz whose reviews brought me so much…

On the TBR!

I agree that this series has been more skewed towards Diem’s growth, but NJ has done it in such a…

It is my hope to keep AAR online as it is now for as long as I can.

The title and plot remind me a lot of the female Isekai genre that has been very popular in Korea…

me neither, that is a nice consolation :-)

I didn’t realize this and I am thrilled! There are lots and lots of books reviewed here that I haven’t…

I have enjoyed this series too. I agree that the mystery plot in this book wasn’t quite as complex as…

I’m listening to Loretta Chase on Fated Mates podcast (2023 interview) and she mentions how what boosted Lord of Scoundrels…

Wow! Sounds tough.

That might have something to do with the case the Supreme Court is hearing on Wednesday. I was adopted, but…

Yes. That’s the plan.

And, I think, a willingness to trust the reader.

Yes it would. I am currently trying to prove my citizenship to the US–I’ve had a passport since birth, was…

Hi Dabney, it’s almost the last day! The sadness is real. Question (you may have answered somewhere, but the comment…

I’ve been trying to decide if there is anything that they all have in common, and I think it may…

Intrigued, putting this on my TBR

Sounds intriguing!

Ahh, Grandma Connie. Memories!

I like this book so far. Confused about a dragon, what’s the real meaning?

I think as a society, we are going to a frightening place where truth matters less to us than aesthetics.…

I’ve never been motivated to look for it, tbh. I’m so used to the fact that screen adaptations of romance…

Did no one edit—Macfarlane does say ‘he wrote the book in complete privacy, not in secrecy’. But he is such…

It’s a hard character to write, especially if he is meant to have deceived many people for a long period…

It drives me crazy when information available on Google is wrong in a non-fiction book. Did no one edit? Did…

For me, the main issue isn’t even searches because you have to have an idea of what you are searching…

That is true in the US too.

What I find completely distracting and reduces the credibility of whatever they are trying to say is when they get…

I have not read the books that you have found wanting relating to the use of technology to solve mysteries.…

For me, the issue is that these guys aren’t really very charming. So to have women falling for them like…

I so thought that about the last Lisa Jewel book. The basic plot literally fell apart if you thought about…

What often surprises me is the type of tech that trips authors up. I don’t understand forensic science much at…
