Review: The Forbidden Wife by Sharon Kendrick

by Keira 11.26.2011

Before you start: Have you read Jane Eyre? Did you like it? Well The Forbidden Wife followed Jane Eyre to a Tee, which is great if you love Jane Eyre (which I do) but awful if you’re looking for new surprises (I was and there wasn’t any). Heroine: 18 year old Ashley Jones is an [...]

Review: The Prince of Midnight by Laura Kinsale

by Keira 08.02.2011

The Prince of Midnight was recommended to me by Anime June while guest blogging about My (Not-So-Secret) Favorite Romance Character Types because the hero was damaged and delicious. I believe this romance also fulfills my lust of big age differences. I can’t remember how old the heroine was (17 maybe?) but the hero’s retired at [...]

Review: Beastly by Alex Flinn

by Keira 06.15.2011

I saw the trailer announced at Katidom and like Kati I’m a sucker for fairytales, especially Beauty and the Beast fairytale retellings. After viewing the trailer I went immediately to the library and got a copy of the book. (How about you are you planning to do the same?) It’s an easy read, directed toward [...]

Review: Just Like Me, Only Better by Carol Snow

by Keira 05.11.2011

Do people tell you that you look like a famous celebrity? Have you ever been asked for an autograph? For me that’d be yes to the first and no to the second. I think it would be cool though! Veronica Czaplicki (or Zap by those who can’t make heads or tails on how to pronounce [...]

Review: Starlight and Promises by Cat Lindler

by Keira 05.01.2011

Starlight and Promises in short, is fantastic. It has a feel of the older romances with the exotic locations and seafaring travel, but is fresh and fun. I simply loved how the romance developed on the way to where the expedition would start. The romantic timeline is a lengthy one – their romance does not [...]

Review: Prelude to a Scandal by Delilah Marvelle

by Keira 01.01.2011

Prelude to a Scandal is an interesting concept (and the author note is pretty fascinating, be sure to read it). The author takes a look at sexual addiction in a Regency setting where they didn’t have a name for it–the closest they had was Rake, but being a Rake was perfectly acceptable for the hero [...]
