REVIEW:  A Christmas Wedding Wager by Michelle Styles

REVIEW: A Christmas Wedding Wager by Michelle Styles

Dear Mrs. Styles, When I reviewed one of your Roman era historicals, I made some comment about how I wondered that you weren’t writing about Roman Britain since you’re so near to “The Wall.” Perhaps one day you’ll still place one of your books there but for now, this Victorian is a nice departure from(…)

REVIEW: Dishonor and Desire by Juliet Landon

Dear Mrs. Landon, After my great experience with “The Warlord’s Mistress” I was in a quandary. I wanted to go out and read every thing of yours I could get my hands on and at the same time, I was worried that nothing would match up to that first book. I’ve been burned by the(…)
