REVIEW: Your Scandalous Ways by Loretta Chase

By Jayne • Jun 3rd, 2008 • Category: A Review Category, A- Reviews, Reviews

Dear Ms. Chase,
Huzzah! I’m definitely on a roll with you. Last year there was [insert Lady title] and this year it’s “Your Scandalous Ways.” Tired of Regency set books? Tired of English gentleman spies? Well, I would have said so before reading this book. After finishing it…nah, not so much. And a real courtesan [...]



My First Sale by Loretta Chase, “Don’t You Want to Write a Book?”

By Jane • May 23rd, 2008 • Category: Interviews, Misc

I’m reposting this because I stupidly miscommunicated with someone about this date and the first sale series and so I’ve got nothing. But given the fact that I think Loretta Chase’s Your Scandalous Ways is one of the best romances I’ll read this year, I thought I’d pull it up again and pimp her [...]



REVIEW: Your Scandalous Ways by Loretta Chase

By Jane • May 8th, 2008 • Category: A Review Category, A Reviews, Reviews

Jane:
At the beginning of Lord of Scoundrels, a book that has been in print since its first publication in 1995, Lord Dain meets Jessica Trent for the first time
She was not classic English perfection, but she was some sort of perfection and, being neither blind nor ignorant, Lord Dain generally recognized quality when he [...]



Dear Author Giveaway You Won’t Want to Miss

By Jane • May 7th, 2008 • Category: Letters of Opinion, Misc

I’ve never said that before, have I? Before I get to the upcoming news, let me remind the readers that there were two outstanding Caroline Linden ARC’s for her June book, A Rake’s Guide to Seduction. Two readers didn’t come forward so I am re-opening the opportunity. Caroline Linden [...]



In Search of Brenda Leigh Johnson

By Jane • Jun 19th, 2007 • Category: Letters of Opinion, Misc

Last night was the season premiere of my favorite television show, The Closer. For those who haven’t watched the most successful basic cable show in the history of cable, the show revolves around Brenda Leigh Johnson, played by the indomitable and sexy Kyra Sedgwick. Last fall Sedgwick won a Golden Globe for the [...]



REVIEW: Not Quite a Lady by Loretta Chase

By Jayne • Apr 24th, 2007 • Category: A Review Category, A- Reviews, B+ Reviews, Reviews

Dear Ms. Chase,
Your books have provided me with hours of happy reading over the years. I rejoiced when you began writing the Carsington series and for the most part have enjoyed them all. Not Quite A Lady will easily take its place beside them but the grade will Not Quite be up to Lord Perfect.
Lady [...]



REVIEW: DearAuthor Recommends for May 2007

By Jane • Apr 17th, 2007 • Category: Reviews

No Humans Involved is the latest entry in Kelley Armstrong’s Women of the Otherworld Series. Jaime Vegas, necromancer, confronts her past while trying to literally put some ghosts to rest. Armstrong brings a new twist to the necromancer mythology by making Vargas one of the weaker paranormal creatures. She can’t [...]



REVIEW: Viscount Vagabond by Loretta Chase

By Jayne • Sep 30th, 2006 • Category: A Review Category, A- Reviews, Reviews

Dear Ms. Chase,
When you started publishing again, I breathed a sigh of relief since it meant I didn’t have to hoard my supply of your trad regency books amymore. Sometimes I almost envy Cassie Edwards’ fans the huge backlist they can look forward to reading.

FROM DISTRESS TO DISASTER
“Catherine Pelliston simply would not abide by [...]



REVIEW: Lord Perfect by Loretta Chase

By Janine • Sep 13th, 2006 • Category: B Reviews Category, B+ Reviews, Reviews

Dear Ms. Chase,
I haven't always gushed over your books. Captives of the Night failed to captivate me, and it was a struggle for me to finish The Lion's Daughter. I even admit that although I enjoyed Lord of Scoundrels, I've also puzzled over the fact that so many readers consider it the very best [...]
