Review: Lady Anne and the Howl in the Dark by Donna Lea Simpson

by Keira 06.20.2011

I have a funny story with this book and by story I mean an epic fail. I was returning some books back to the library and somehow Lady Anne sneaked back with them. When I realized what I’d done it was as if I’d been amputated! So painful. Of course I returned the books on [...]

Review: His Cavalry Lady by Joanna Maitland

by Keira 07.07.2009

I understood how Alex could fall in love with the duke, but the poor duke spent half the time fantasizing about two females (who are Alex in different getups). Most of the hero and heroine’s interaction was when [...]
