by Guest Blogger 05.04.2011

Review: Darcy Saga: Book One: Two Shall Become One by Sharon Lathan

by Keira 12.30.2010

What I love most about this book is the research and language used to express the time period. Lathan’s diction is vastly superb – I had to look one or two words up. (Romance novels have all the credit when it comes to my 750 verbal SAT score from way back when.) The way she [...]
