REVIEW: The Trouble with Being Wicked by Emma Locke

JennieC Reviewscourtesan heroine / historical romance / opposites attract13 Comments

Dear Ms. Locke: I’ve been in something of an extended slump with historical romances this year – none have earned better than a B grade from me, and nothing has really held my attention and impressed me as new or fresh. I decided to branch out to new-to-me authors, but ... more >
