This was originally posted last August. The book, however, was not in print anywhere as the author had moved publishers. I received notice that this is now available from Mundania Press in both print and ebook form. This is a favorite series of Jayne and mine and one of our first introductions to epublishing. Who(…)

Dear Mrs Hoyt, Last year my blogging partner raved to me about this book. “You must read it,” she said. I said I would and sincerely intended to but time passed. I read other reviews of it where people raved about it and thought, “I really need to read that.” And time passed. And I(…)

Dear Mrs. Beverley, At last, Rothgar’s story. I think that you did a good job considering the fact that you’d built Beowulf Malloren, the Marquess of Rothgar into an almost superhuman figure over the course of the other four books in this series. He needed a strong woman to balance him and he got it(…)

Dear Mrs Beverley, Once again you manage to take an almost unbelievable plot and get me totally involved in it. This is book four of the Malloren series and truly exemplifies the unofficial Malloren motto: With a Malloren, all things are possible. Rosa, Lady Overton is in a fix. Well, actually everyone on her husband’s(…)

Dear Ms. Hoyt: I’ve come to the realization that your books are not really historicals, but rather fairy tales set in the mid 1700s. As such, this story need not abide by ordinary societal rules which may restrict the fair maiden from her reward with a servant. This book, like the last one, is about(…)

Dear Ms. Stuart, This was the first book of yours I read and I’m glad I knew ahead of time that your heroes can be fairly dark. It helped me to like Alastair MacAlpin much more than I would have. He is the famous jewel thief the Cat who steals from the rich, often while(…)

Lady Elfred Malloren has been pampered and over protected for all her 25 years by her four brothers. When fate leaves her alone in London with a married(…)

“Marianne Findlay lives next door to the Earl of Latteridge’s York townhouse. Though she has never met him, it was his mother who sealed her fate years before–and drove her from polite society. Now she and Aunt Effie take in boarders and live a modest life, which is soon disrupted by the handsome earl, his(…)

Dear Mrs Beverley, In this second in the Malloren series, you pick up right where My Lady Notorious left off. It’s nice to have read that one for a teensy bit of backdrop and some more insight into the characters but it’s not necessary as I think you’ve done a great job telling just enough(…)

Dear Mrs. Beverley, I had fond thought of this book before I even started it because it was the subject of the first email I ever exchanged with someone who’s become a dear friend of mine. I had mentioned after the year 2000 AAR Top 100 that I was looking for a copy and Deb,(…)

Dear Ms. Hoyt: At first blush, this isn’t a book I would buy. The back cover blurb reads as follows: Widowed Anna Wren is having a wretched day. After an arrogant male on horseback nearly squashes her, she arrives home to learn that she is in dire financial straits. What is a gently bred lady(…)

Dear Mrs. Connolly, Even if I have to wait for the next two new books about Richard and Rose, I’m so glad that Mundania will be releasing the entire series to some new fans. “Harley Street” takes up where the third novel in the Richard and Rose series, “Venice,” left off. The series follows the(…)

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(…)
