Here’s the good news – the second book in Elizabeth Hoyt’s Greycourt series is (marginally) better than the first. The bad news is that it is still not up to the standard of the usual Hoyt offering. When a Rogue Meets His Match begins right after the end of the first book in the series,…
Sin Incarnate is an historical romance set in the Georgian period, firmly in the era of powdered wigs. It’s a story of intense sexual chemistry, love found anew, and family ties, but while it is certainly a gripping read, it does seem a little underwritten and is confusing in places. Mrs. Georgianna Exley- George to…
Narrated by Steve Worsley Dance to the Storm is the second book in the Storm Over Scotland trilogy by author and historian Maggie Craig, and if you enjoy meaty, well-researched historical fiction with a compelling, star-crossed romance at its heart, then I suggest these books might be right up your alley! I’ll say straight off…
As a big fan of May McGoldrick’s historical romances, I’m sad to say that Highland Jewel was a bit of a disappointment.

Hard as it is for readers when a favourite, long-running series ends, it must be equally so for the author who has lived with those characters and scenarios for years – and who then has to follow up that success with something new that will continue to please fans of the previous books as well…
Cadenza is the sixth book of Stella Riley’s popular Rockliffe series. Like the previous book Hazard, this story features a double romance, which Riley once again successfully pulls off without one couple overshadowing the other. Julian Langham is the extremely reluctant Earl of Chalfont, saddled with an impoverished estate and his predecessor’s three illegitimate children….
