Review: Vexing the Viscount by Emily Bryan

by Keira 03.06.2011

I literally couldn’t put Vexing the Viscount down. I devoured the book in just two days. So what’s it about? Romance treasure, naughty sculptures, and pagan adventures are the pursuits of the impoverished Viscount Rutland and curious Miss Daisy Duke.

Review: Friday’s Child by Georgette Heyer

by Keira 01.31.2011

The second Georgette Heyer novel that I read was a lot easier to get through. It helped that there was few if any references to my lord or my lady in the narrative. The diction used is as exacting and up there as Devil’s Cub. This novel was longer but I read it in less [...]

Reader Highlight with Carla F.

by Carla F. 01.21.2011

Keira: What are your favorite romance subgenres and why? Carla: I can never seem to get enough of Regency/Victorian books.

Review: The Viscount in Her Bedroom by Gayle Callen

by Keira 01.06.2011

I loved The Viscount in Her Bedroom by Gayle Callen the third in the Sisters of Willow Pond Trilogy. What I like about Gayle Callen is that you don’t have to read the first two in the trilogy to really enjoy this book. You can pick up at the end and go backwards and have [...]

Book Review: It Happened One Autumn by Lisa Kleypas

by Keira 11.25.2010

I had some unfamiliar and ear-wax color substances to avoid while reading this book; those are potential problems with any secondhand novel, though I must say I’ve never encountered anything quite like this. lol. Anyway despite the somewhat repulsive quality of my copy of It Happened One Autumn, I enjoyed the story. This Lisa Kleypas [...]
