Review: Bewitching by Jill Barnett

by Keira 10.02.2011

There are a bunch of novels by Jill Barnett that are being released specifically for ebook format this year and Bewitching was one of them. I found out later after accepting a review copy that Bewitching is considered one of the all time best romances written and I can certainly see why. It’s the story [...]

Review: Mr. Harding Proposes by Catherine Dove

by Keira 09.14.2011

This lighthearted Regency is a fun little comedy of manners. It’s well researched and the style reminds me a little of Georgette Heyer, but updated so non-Heyer fans can easily follow without getting mired in the narration. The cast of characters is delightful and the dialogue is snappy. I particularly liked Elroyd, Mr. Harding’s butler. [...]

Review: The Corinthian by Georgette Heyer

by Keira 08.22.2011

The Corinthian ranks in my top 5 favorite Georgette Heyers to date. My favorite things about this novel: The hero and heroine spend a majority of the book in each other’s presence. The heroine cross-dresses to look like a young lad for most of the novel with the hero helping her in her disguise. The [...]

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: Lovestruck by KT Grant

by Zarabeth Golden 07.22.2011

by Zarabeth, guest reviewer I have to admit that when I first read the synopsis of Lovestruck I was not overwhelmed with the urge to read this book. I did not have high hopes for how KT Grant would handle all of the barricades she put in front of our heroines and there’s a lot. [...]

Review: The Convenient Marriage by Georgette Heyer

by Keira 07.06.2011

This novel is definitely one of my overall favorites of Heyer’s so far. It’s easy to read and follow despite the language and research. I loved all the side characters and Rule most of all. The leads were very well matched for each other. Lizzie Winwood, the Beauty, is engaged to the Earl of Rule, [...]

Review: His For The Holidays by Josh Lanyon

by Sharon S. 03.20.2011

by Sharon S., guest reviewer This is an anthology of 4 m/m stories by some of the best in the genre. I thoroughly enjoyed all of the stories. I am not one for short stories, because they seem rushed, but all the authors were able to pull me into their characters quickly and completely. If [...]

Review: These Old Shades by Georgette Heyer

by Keira 03.12.2011

These Old Shades is a mashup of several of my favorite romance plots all rolled into one story. It’s a May/December where the hero is significantly older than the heroine. It’s also a Guardian/Ward pairing as well as Employer/Employee. The heroine even goes half the novel cross-dressing, though the hero is aware of this fact. [...]
