Excited! That’s what I was when I saw Jo Beverley’s newest book, Secrets of the Night, sitting in my mail box. Never having read the author, but hearing nothing but raves about her work, I was confident I was in for an enjoyable story. Then I made the mistake of reading the back blurb and…
A marriage of convenience is supposed to be beneficial to both parties. As a marriage in name only, it is supposed to provide not only security, but freedom not normally allowed within the confines of a conventional marriage. Both husband and wife are free to conduct their lives as they wish with no fear of…
There are so many twists and surprises in Upon a Wicked Time, my synopsis of it must be brief – I don’t want to spoil anything for you. Generally speaking, Tessa Astley marries Jered Mandeville. Tessa’s the daughter of an earl; Jered’s a duke. She has feisty, indulgent, in-love-with-each-other parents, and six brothers. His parents…

What makes a book great? Believable characters, a fast paced plot, a satisfying ending and a well-written story. Brazen Angel by Elizabeth Boyle hosts an entire cast of believable characters, from the leads right down to the walk-ons. The story moved as such a quick pace that I could scarcely draw breath. As I turned…
The Beloved One is one of those books that I could hardly make myself put down. You know how it is; you are supposed to eat and sleep now and then, but you’d much rather be reading! When I have that feeling, I know I have a desert isle keeper on my hands. Practically perfect…
I so enjoyed reading The Beloved One; there were so many things about that I just loved. I loved the Cinderella storyline where we first encounter the heroine, Amy Leighton, literally in the ashes. I loved the setting – America at the beginning of the Revolutionary War and Georgian England (such a refreshing change from…
A Well Pleasured Lady is marvelous entertainment and is likely one of the best romances you will read this year. Christina Dodd, in her first book as a lead author for Avon, has proven amazing versatility in this romance set in 1793, and not the medieval period for which she is best known. This book…
