The ever reliable Virginia Heath kicks off her new King’s Elite series with The Mysterious Lord Millcroft, which pairs a daring, courageous spy who is hopeless around women with one of society’s reigning beauties, both of them characters we’ve met briefly before in the author’s Wild Warriners series. Ms. Heath spins a thoroughly entertaining yarn…
Lord Stanton’s Last Mistress is the final book in Lara Temple’s Wild Lords and Innocent Ladies trilogy, which features the members of the ‘Wild Hunt’, three men who have been friends since their schooldays and who served together during the Napoleonic Wars. In books one and two, Gabriel, Lord Hunter and Alan, Marquess of Ravenscar…
This final book in Virginia Heath’s thoroughly enjoyable series featuring the four Warriner brothers focuses on the youngest, Jacob – or Jake, as he is more commonly known. We’ve met him in the previous books in the series, and unlike his siblings – Jack, the Earl of Markham and head of the family, Jamie, a…
Lady Cecily and the Mysterious Mr. Gray is the third installment in Janice Preston’s Beauchamp Betrothals series. This is the first of them I’ve read, and while there are some references to events that seem to have taken place in previous books, they didn’t detract from my understanding of the current story. Lady Cecily Beauchamp…
Marguerite Kaye’s research glimmers in a well-told, engrossing and tender story from her Matches Made in Scandal series, about a courtesan who’s never (really) been kissed seeking to leave behind a past she had no say over, and a man running from a (possibly) falsified betrothal. In From Courtesan to Convenient Wife, Ms. Kaye has…
In this second Wild Lords and Innocent Ladies novel, Lara Temple re-introduces us to her trio of former officers (current best friends) damaged by their pasts and profoundly changed by their shared wartime experiences. Wealthy, attractive and publicly infamous as rakes, they privately work tirelessly on behalf of a charitable foundation they’ve established to help…
Sarah Mallory is someone whose work I enjoy, so I was pleased to pick up The Ton’s Most Notorious Rake, a charming, standalone historical romance that warns about the unfairness of judging people based on their reputations rather than by their actions. Our hero may be the most notorious rake, but notoriety and actuality are…
I’ve been looking forward to Marguerite Kaye’s new, four-book Matches Made in Scandal series, as each story is set in a different European city. While I certainly don’t object to historical romances set in the UK, I am always keen to venture elsewhere, and was definitely enticed by the thought of reading romances set in…
In the three years or so that she’s been a published author, Virginia Heath has gone from strength to strength, having produced coming up for ten novels, all of which I’ve read, enjoyed and rated highly. A Warriner to Tempt Her, the third book in her Wild Warriners series, takes place around five years after…
The first thing that attracted me to His Convenient Marchioness was the cover image, which indicates that the central couple is slightly older than the norm for romance novels. I’m always ready to read a romance between more mature people, and sure enough, I quickly discovered that the hero – a widower who lost his…
