Review: The Runaway Duke by Julie Anne Long

by Keira 03.29.2011

If you’re looking for a light happy read though you will like this novel. It’s a perfect companion for a long flight or car ride and will keep you entertained. The romance is a little overblown and the plot devices a little too farcical. There is a whole gamut of standard plots can be found [...]

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 [...]

Review: A Match for Mary Bennet by Eucharista Ward, O.S.F.

by Isabel G. 09.29.2009

by Isabel G., guest reviewer The main character, Mary Bennet, is not the most interesting person and the story was slow to develop. With that said, I am not sure this book would have mass appeal. The author does not reveal if she chooses to marry until the last fifty pages. What kept me reading, [...]

Review: Bedded by the Warrior by Denise Lynn

by Keira 05.22.2009

This book read a little slow for me and the storytelling didn’t capture me particularly. I read through perseverance more than any real desire to finish. I like the Medieval period but I would never go back to that time period. As Lynn points out, it’s not safe for a woman outside of the walls [...]
