A spicy story of gamblers and ruthlessness, The Prince of Broadway is a unique experience and one heck of a way to end 2019. Clayton Madden is a rough-and-tumble casino owner who can make or break a man with a flick of his finger. All the high society types come to wager at his casino…
The first in a series of books exploring the Black experience throughout the decades, A Delicate Affair starts things off right, with a sweet story set in a historically accurate Washington, DC of 1902. At its heart, it’s another good girl/bad boy story, but it has more than one interesting twist to this particular trope….
Gladden the Heart is the fifth novel in Olivia Newport’s Amish Turns of Time series. This loosely connected set of books examines key moments in the history of the American Amish church from the 1895 split over the teaching of Sunday school (Meek and Mild) to the issues surrounding the great depression (Hope in the…
Now that summer is at long last here and the sun is shining warmly on my patio – hence my lawn chair – I can finally read outside. I have been looking for novels that match the light hearted, cheery spirit I feel while soaking up some much needed vitamin D and Heart on the…

Uniqueness is a highly valued trait amongst some romance readers. With so many historicals taking place in the same 10 year span of history in the same parts of England among the same social class, it is a breath of fresh air when I come across a good story in a different era and setting….
Meredith Duran has thrown down the gauntlet: Wicked Becomes You is the book to beat for best historical romance this year. It’s a lush European Historical romance that takes the reader from turn-of-the-century London to Paris to Monte Carlo. Sexy, inventive, and riveting, it’s a book that’s hard to put down and a joy to…
The Borrowed Bride by Elizabeth Lane is a romance set in rural Colorado in 1899. While I liked the setting, and was not put off by the love triangle of a woman who has to choose between two brothers (a no-no for a number of readers), ultimately the romance failed to convince me. Quint Seavers,…
