REVIEW: Unclaimed by Courtney Milan

REVIEW: Unclaimed by Courtney Milan

Dear Ms. Milan: Toward the end of the review it is going to sound like I didn’t like this book but that would be the wrong impression. I did like this book.  I liked it but in a lot of ways I found Mark, like his older brother Ash, to be almost saintly in his(…)

REVIEW: No Proper Lady by Isabel Cooper

REVIEW: No Proper Lady by Isabel Cooper

Dear Ms. Cooper, I was really intrigued by the description of your book, No Proper Lady, which touts itself as a being a cross between Terminator and My Fair Lady.

REVIEW: Married by June by Ellen Hartman

REVIEW: Married by June by Ellen Hartman

Dear Ms. Hartman: This turned out to be such a lovely book and in a way that totally surprised me. The story opens with Cooper Murphy proposing to Jorie Burke after knowing each other for six months, in a totally romantic and kind of scary way (come on, it was kind of creepy because the(…)
