This is the tenth entry in the author’s Royal Spyness series, featuring Lady Georgiana Rannoch, thirty-fifth in line to the British throne. The series is primarily set in England between the World Wars and while often touching on darker world events, falls clearly on the side of a light mystery series with numerous touches of…
In the latest instalment of Anna Lee Huber’s Lady Darby series of historical mysteries, Keira and Gage’s honeymoon is cut short as they are summoned to Rathfarnham Abbey in Ireland to investigate the mysterious death of a nun.

The Dark Affair is the third book in Ms. Claremont’s Mad Passions series, and features James Stanhope, Viscount Powers, who was an intriguing secondary character in the previous book in the series, Lady in Red. In fact, I found him so intriguing, that I was far more interested in him than in the hero, so…
Willingham revisits familiar territory with the sexy new release, To Sin With a Viking.

As both a former resident of Washington, D.C. and a European Historical enthusiast, I was excited by the contents of Redeeming the Rogue, being set in both London and Washington.

I think it’s interesting when authors turn villains into heroes. This is what Laurel McKee has done in Lady of Seduction, the third in her Daughters of Erin trilogy. And Grant Dunmore, last seen in Duchess of Sin does make a good hero. <!– var browName = navigator.appName; var SiteID = 1; var ZoneID =…
What a lovely book to break me out of my reading slump. Juliet Marillier’s single-title offering is a Medieval Irish Beauty and the Beast fantasy, with a small dash of history, a medium dose of romance, and a whole heap of bloody good storytelling. Caitrin is an unusual and beautiful young woman. She can read…
