Review: By Force of Instinct by Abigail Reynolds

by Keira 11.10.2011

The Question that Starts it All: What if Darcy had been forced to stay at Rosings after giving Elizabeth his letter? Review (with spoilers): I’m a big fan of Abigail Reynold’s Pemberley Variations, but By Force of Instinct lacked her usual flair. It was heavy on the “My loves” and “My hearts.” Give it to [...]

Review: Calling the Shots by Ellen Hartman

If you’re looking for a quick light Cinderella based read you will enjoy this book. If you’re looking [...]
