REVIEW: Lord of Midnight by Jo Beverley

By Jayne • Jul 17th, 2008 • Category: B Reviews, B Reviews Category, Reviews

Dear Mrs. Beverley,
Oh why don’t you write medievals anymore? Is the market not there? Are the only periods that will sell Georgians and Regencies? Not that I don’t like the books you set in those eras but your medievals were so good. I’ll pause a moment to blink back a tear. Sniff. [...]



REVIEW: Dark Champion by Jo Beverley

By Jayne • May 17th, 2008 • Category: A Review Category, A- Reviews, Reviews

Dear Mrs. Beverley,
Since it seems you’ve settled down into writing just Georgians and Regencies, I’m afraid new romance readers won’t be aware of the wonderful medievals you used to write. With that in mind, I’m going to try and dust off a few golden oldies, flog my gray cells to remember details [...]



REVIEW: A Lady’s Secret by Jo Beverley

By Jayne • Apr 21st, 2008 • Category: A Review Category, A- Reviews, Reviews

Edited to add: Caution There’s a major spoiler in paragraph 3.
Dear Mrs. Beverley,
When you posted to one of my earlier reviews that your next book would be back in the world of the Mallorens and feature a rake with a ‘nun on the run,’ I started salivating. Me wuvs the Mallorens and Georgian historicals [...]



REVIEW: Lady Beware by Jo Beverley

By Jayne • Jun 5th, 2007 • Category: C Reviews Category, C+ Reviews, Reviews

Dear Mrs Beverley,
I’ll be honest up front and state that your Georgian and Medieval books are my favorites. In fact, I haven’t really read that many of the Company of Rogues books outside of the “3 Georges” novels and the ensuing single title books that followed them. I liked them, I enjoyed reading them but…see [...]



REVIEW: Devilish by Jo Beverley

By Jayne • Apr 18th, 2007 • Category: B Reviews, B Reviews Category, Reviews

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 [...]



REVIEW: Secrets of the Night by Jo Beverley

By Jayne • Apr 9th, 2007 • Category: B Reviews Category, B+ Reviews, Reviews

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 estate is [...]



REVIEW: Something Wicked by Jo Beverley

By Jayne • Feb 14th, 2007 • Category: B Reviews, B Reviews Category, Reviews

Dear Mrs. Beverley,
Book three of the Malloren series takes up right where book two left off. With the Mallorens neck deep in intrigue and sophisticated plots.
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 friend, she [...]



REVIEW: Tempting Fortune by Jo Beverley

By Jayne • Dec 5th, 2006 • Category: B Reviews Category, B+ Reviews, Reviews

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 of it [...]



REVIEW: My Lady Notorious by Jo Beverley

By Jayne • Nov 18th, 2006 • Category: B Reviews Category, B+ Reviews, Reviews

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, [...]
