REVIEW: A Betting Chance by Lynne Connolly

Sapphira Vardon needs five thousand pounds to avoid a cruel marriage and a grim future, and there's only one path for her. Don a mask and an assumed name, and risk everything to win at the gaming tables. First, though, she has to get through the door. Luckily she knows just whose name to drop.(…)

REVIEW: Hareton Hall by Lynne Connolly

REVIEW: Hareton Hall by Lynne Connolly

The Kerres have seen Richard’s love for Rose and now her family gets a taste of it. Rose has had her chance to do the “Lady Strang” thing in Exeter so I would hope that this will lessen in scope for any future novels. As well, despite the fact that Richard is *so* private about his feelings for Rose, he’s let them show so damn much that the whole country ought to know of them by now. Just get them the matching tattoos done and T-shirts to wear and drop this.

REVIEW: Eyton by Lynne Connolly

REVIEW: Eyton by Lynne Connolly

Dear Mrs. Connolly, At last, at last. The continuation of the series faithful fans have been waiting for. It all started years ago with “Yorkshire,” “Devonshire,” “Venice” and “Harley Street” as we watched the aristocratic Richard Kerre, heir to the Earldom of Southland, and Rose Golightly, daughter of the gentry, fall in love at first(…)

REVIEW: Tantalizing Secrets by Lynne Connolly

REVIEW: Tantalizing Secrets by Lynne Connolly

Dear Mrs. Connolly, I must thank you for continuing to write in my favorite historical era, the Georgian. There’s just something I adore about strong men in powdered wigs, wearing bright colored coats with small swords at their sides. Oh, and red heeled shoes. Can’t forget those. Period paintings make them look so dashing and(…)

REVIEW: Alluring Secrets by Lynne Connolly

REVIEW: Alluring Secrets by Lynne Connolly

Dear Mrs. Connolly, “Alluring Secrets” is the second story of this latest trio available from Samhain Publishing. While it’s going to get a better grade than the first story, “Seductive Secrets,” there were still a few things that didn’t work quite right for me. Penelope Makepiece is a young woman of aristocratic family who’s been(…)

REVIEW: Seductive Secrets by Lynne Connolly

Dear Mrs. Connolly, As always, I look forward to your Georgian historicals. In the past, I’ve found them entertaining, informative, moving. When Samhain offered us their new releases, I eagerly snapped this one up. Unfortunately, it doesn’t work for me as well as most of your past historical books. Has your hero Nick Seyton not(…)

REVIEW: Met by Chance by Lynne Connolly

REVIEW: Met by Chance by Lynne Connolly

Dear Mrs Connolly, I know we at DA (okay, me in particular) have harshed on some of your latest paranormal books but with “Met by Chance” I can happily say you’re cooking with gas again. After finishing this, I need to go back and try the first two books in this “Triple Countess” trilogy from(…)

REVIEW:  Jewel of the Dragon by Lynne Connolly

REVIEW: Jewel of the Dragon by Lynne Connolly

Dear Mrs Connolly, I love your Georgian historical series featuring Richard and Rose. Your Regency novel didn’t work as well for me so when you wrote offering a chance to read a paranormal, and one including American characters, I was intrigued and curious as to what I’d think of it. Well, some parts are okay(…)

REVIEW: Venice by Lynne Martin (aka Lynne Connolly)

Dear Mrs. Connolly, Forget anything I’ve ever said about British authors not writing enough sex scenes. In VENICE, you’ve finally gotten your two protagonists married and they’re off for their bride trip to beautiful, golden Italy. Only they have a slight problem. Two actually. Someone is trying to kill them and impostors have stolen their(…)
