Dear Ms. Enoch: The best thing about the romance was how it brought up and addressed the repercussions of an interclass relationship during the Regency period. Often you have dukes and maids or shopkeepers getting married but there is no resulting social approbation. Given how classist society was during that time period, these romances are(…)

Dear Ms. Enoch: The Scandalous Bride series as this is called has been a challenge for me. I really appreciate the thoughtful presentation of women and their powerlessness in the Regency period. Through the Tantalus Club, set up in Book 1 of the series, women of all backgrounds have found a safe haven. As Diane,(…)

Dear Ms. Enoch: I appreciate what the Tantalus Club series is about. In the 19th Century, women held few rights. For many, there were only a few options for a life of independence. Almost all of those choices depended on the use of one’s own person as the form of currency, whether the transaction was(…)

Dear Ms. Enoch: I’m not certain who named your book but I am convinced it is by someone who has never read it because you can tell by the first chapter that the heroine is no ingenue who needs lessons in handling men. The really wonderful thing about this book is the challenging heroine who(…)

Dear Ms. Enoch: After finishing the previous trilogy which I believe to contain some of the best work of your career, I was delighted when The Care and Taming of the Rogue arrived on my doorstep, ridiculous title notwithstanding. With the adventurer hero, I thought we might be getting something unique again. While prose in The(…)

Dear Ms. Enoch: I’ve really enjoyed this Notorious Gentleman series which started with After the Kiss and ends with Always a Scoundrel, a book that csquared deemed one of your best in years. I agree. This is a book that had my emotions in my throat nearly the entire time. It was dark, evocative, and(…)

Dear Ms. Enoch: I really adored After the Kiss and I was hopeful, given the prominence that Bram was given in AtK that this would be his book. However, it is not. This is the story of Lieutenant Colonel Phineas Bromley who ran away from the world and joined the Royal Dragoons in his youth(…)

Dear Ms. Enoch: Like commenter Corrine, I had admittedly had some issues with the past few historicals. I had enjoyed England’s Perfect Hero so much (as Corrine says “hands-down favorite SE title”) that it may have affected my opinion of the books that followed. Needless to say, I adored After the Kiss. First, I loved(…)

Dear Ms. Enoch: While I enjoyed book 1 and 2 of this series, I feel like the series is stagnating a bit and while there is forward motion in the 5th entry to the Sam and Rick saga, I’ve kind of lost interest. The issues that Sam and Rick are struggling with in A Touch(…)

Dear Ms. Enoch: Twice the Temptation is a package similar to the Nora Roberts/JD Robb collection, Remember When. Both collections feature descendants tied together by a diamond. Remember When’s diamond is stolen and Twice the Temptation is cursed. A Diamond or Forever. In 1814, Evangeline Munroe, daughter of a viscount, is given a one hundred(…)

Dear Ms. Enoch: It is always very difficult to live up to one’s own hype. The Sins of a Duke is the fourth and final entry in the Sin series. I have read two of the previous three. In the previous stories, Sebastian, the eldest brother, has played a large role. He was a strong(…)

Dear Ms. Enoch: This is the third in the series and I would rate it better than the last one but still not as good as the first. Enoch has pretty good knack for setting up a heist and bringing in the kind of Thomas Crown Affair aura to it. My main problem with the(…)
