REVIEW:  Hidden Paradise by Janet Mullany

REVIEW: Hidden Paradise by Janet Mullany

Dear Ms. Mullany, I’ve had great success reading your Regency-set romances, and a bit less success with a couple of your other books. Still, the blurb for Hidden Paradise drew me in: Louisa Connelly, a recently widowed Jane Austen scholar, needs some relief from her stifling world. When a friend calls to offer her a(…)

REVIEW:  Dedication by Janet Mullany

REVIEW: Dedication by Janet Mullany

Dear Ms. Mullany, As a big fan of several of your historical romances, I jumped at the chance to read your first book, recently revised and released as a “sexier, longer” version. I’m a big fan of both “sexier” and “longer” (get your minds out of the gutter, readers, I mean that I like longer books). Adam Ashworth and Fabienne(…)

REVIEW: Tell Me More by Janet Mullany

Dear Ms. Mullany, I have enjoyed your witty historical romances quite a bit, and liked your historical erotic romance (written as Jane Lockwood) as well, though I had a few issues with it. So I was more than happy to hear that you had a new book out, even if contemporaries aren’t really my first(…)

REVIEW: Mr. Bishop and the Actress by Janet Mullany

Dear Ms. Mullany, When Jane mentioned that you had a new book available for review, I jumped at the chance to read it. I’ve become quite the fan of your books put out by Little Black Dress, and cannot for the life of me understand why these aren’t available for sale in the U.S.* It’s(…)

REVIEW: Jane and the Damned by Janet Mullany

REVIEW: Jane and the Damned by Janet Mullany

Dear Ms. Mullany, When I heard you were going to write a Regency paranormal, my initial thoughts were, “Why?” No, actually they were more along the lines of “You’ve got to be shitting me. Jane Austen as a vampire?!” But when the publicist sent me a copy, I couldn’t resist at least trying it because,(…)

REVIEW: A Most Lamentable Comedy by Janet Mullany

Dear Ms. Mullany, Having recently read and very much liked your book Improper Relations , I was eager to pick up this other book of yours that I had in my tbr pile. A Most Lamentable Comedy is apparently related to one of your earlier books that I have not yet read, The Rules of(…)

REVIEW: Improper Relations by Janet Mullany

REVIEW: Improper Relations by Janet Mullany

Dear Ms. Mullany, I wasn’t sure what to expect when I picked up this book; humorous romances and regency romances aren’t my two favorite sub-genres. That’s not to say I dislike them; I just tend to favor dark and angsty full-length historicals if given my druthers. I did read your erotic historical Forbidden Shores (written(…)

REVIEW: A Most Lamentable Comedy by Janet Mullany

REVIEW: A Most Lamentable Comedy by Janet Mullany

Dear Ms. Mullany, Two years ago I feel in love with “The Rules of Gentility.” Its first person spoofing of the Rules of Writing a Regency Romance had me in stitches. When Janine mentioned that you were going to have a sequel to it published this summer, I rubbed my hands with glee. Deep in(…)

REVIEW: The Rules of Gentility by Janet Mullany

Dear Ms. Mullany, Like Jayne (who recently reviewed this book), I read and enjoyed your debut, Dedication, shortly before the Signet Regency line went kaput. I had liked the book enough to hope that you might get a contract before too long. Luckily for me, not one, but two publishers were smart enough to offer(…)

REVIEW: The Rules of Gentility By Janet Mullany

Dear Ms. Mullany, I read your first novel, enjoyed it, and was dismayed to hear that Signet wouldn’t be publishing any more. Then Signet pretty much folded and I was afraid that was that. Huzzah to Harper Collins for picking you up (as an author) and giving us this delightful spoof of (almost) every Regency(…)
