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: How to Engage an Earl by Kathryn Caskie

by Keira 06.05.2011

Kathryn Caskie spins a delightful tale in How to Engage an Earl. My only complaint is the hero’s name. I mean really, Laird? I can’t decide if I am supposed to pronounce it like Lard, Lord, or L’AIR-ed. Apparently, Laird is a Scottish name, if that helps anyone else figure out how to say it. [...]

There were such complex rules for society, and particularly members of the ton. It is fun to see the heroes and heroines manage to follow some rules faithfully and struggle to follow others. Also it [...]

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 [...]
