What Jane Has Been Reading, Week of August 29

Like my previous post, this is actually a retrospective list of what I had read the past couple of weeks: Mistress Bride by Michelle Reid – A discussion of Reid’s books prompted me to pull out this favorite of mine.  I really like how Reid uses societal constraints to keep the protags apart. She did(…)

REVIEW: For Your Arms Only by Caroline Linden

Ms. Linden: I came away from this book thinking that I should have liked the story more than I did and I wasn’t sure why.   Your prose is good, as always.   You have thoughtful characters.    I liked the premise – the story of a man whose honor was totally stripped away by a false(…)

REVIEW: What a Gentleman Wants by Caroline Linden

Dear Ms. Linden, A while back, Jane reviewed your second novel, What a Gentleman Wants, and gave it a B. After enjoying your debut, What a Woman Needs (a B- for me), I thought I'd give your second book a try. I wish I liked it as much as Jane did, but for me, What(…)

REVIEW: What a Gentleman Wants by Caroline Linden

Dear Ms. Linden, Jane has already written a letter explaining the plot of your second book so I’m gonna just skip to my thoughts on it. Yeah, I love being lazy.
