Reviews of Historical Romance novels.
Jess believes she has to hide her true identity to gain the attention, and hopefully financial backing, of society’s most powerful people. When she catches the Duke’s eye, and eventually his heart, her lie becomes bigger than herself.
Although there are some ethical questions raised about lying to the one you love, I did really enjoy the second book in Eva Leigh’s The Union of the Rakes series.
A new favorite book from a wonderful author, I absolutely loved the first book in the Sins for All Seasons series by Lorraine Heath. This tale of revenge with a love triangle and intrigue was so captivating and heart felt.
This book about two women who are employed by a generous Lady and can’t keep their eyes off each other is so delightful. It is sweet and steamy with some adventure and intrigue. My only complaint was it was too short because I wanted more of Molly and Alice.
I read and loved this book in 2018 but in honor of the third and final book in the fantastic Bareknuckle Bastards series releasing today (Daring and the Duke), I have decided to publish my 5 star review of the first book in the series.
A funny and adventurous road trip love story by one of my favorite historical romance authors, Sarah MacLean. I am excited to start this series by her.
Margaret Delamere is a well known playwright and Cameron, Viscount Marwood is a big fan of the theater. I loved how Cam was enchanted by Maggie and extremely supportive about her life’s passion. To see a man so enthralled with a woman for her skill and talent was very special.
This feminist take on an old-school romance trope features Seraphina, a woman outcast by society who loves to indulge in sex and alcohol. Her personality was a bit too toxic for me to fall in love but the writing was wonderful and the sex was hot.
Our latest book club pick, Rebel by Beverly Jenkins, is set in New Orleans during the Reconstruction era. I am so happy we read this beautiful book – I cried and smiled and swooned while reading about the brave actions of Valinda and Captain Drake as they work to find happiness for themselves and help protect those around them.
A brave heroine willing to risk everything she has for her family and a scarred reclusive Duke who is intrigued by the brazen Wallflower.
Thank you to Net Galley and the publisher for my advanced review copy of this book. I really enjoyed this author’s writing style and this sweet love story but this book did move slowly for me.
