Review: Scandalous Desires (Maiden Lane, Book 3) by Elizabeth Hoyt

by Keira 11.16.2011

Heroine: Widow Silence Hollingbrook is in a dire situation. To reclaim what she loves she must face the man who callously and cruelly used her to make a point that ruined her marriage.

Pirate Romance: Separating Myth from Truth

by Keira 06.27.2011

What is pirate, privateer, or buccaneer romance? While pirate romance seems pretty self explanatory the truth of the matter is that modern romantic notions of pirates are far from fact. When we think of a pirate, I am sure many of you will conjure up an image of the deliciously sexy and adventurous Jack Sparrow [...]

Review: Beauvallet by Georgette Heyer

by Keira 06.07.2011

Beauvallet is one of my top favorite Georgette Heyer romances. It’s one I would recommend for a guy to read because of how daredevil the hero is and how much action and high jinks take place. Sir Nicholas Beauvallet is a dashing pirate with a rakish charm. He’s the bane of the Spanish empire and [...]

Review: Ripping the Bodice by Inara Lavey

by Keira 03.25.2011

Old School romance daydreams + embarrassing contemporary situations * 2 potential heroes = exponential fun. Inara Lavey writes loving parodies of old school romance for Cassandra to daydream. Of course our plucky heroine (who is the very definition of spitfire) gets caught out time and again. She lands in some very funny situations as she [...]

Review: Crimson Rapture by Jennifer Horsman

by Keira 03.13.2011

I first heard about Crimson Rapture from a HaBo post over at Smart Bitches: Trashy Books. I can’t remember now if this book was the actual book or just one of the suggestions, but I guess it hardly matters. It sounded cool and I got it immediately from Paperback Swap. It was originally published in [...]

Review: Too Sinful to Deny by Erica Ridley

by Susan S., guest reviewer There are three things guaranteed to bring me pleasure: vanilla-flavored coffees, Godiva, and a great read. This was a great read! Background: Miss Susan Stanton made her debut as a secondary character in Too Wicked To Kiss; where she befriends Evangeline, the heroine from book one. The sequel stands alone, [...]
