REVIEW: Like No Other Lover by Julie Anne Long

JennieB Reviews / Book ReviewsHistorical Romances / Julie Ann Long22 Comments

Dear Ms. Long, You have been one of the most reliable of historical romance authors for me for the past several years, during a time when historical romances were a bit scarce and their charms had begun to pall a little. I have read five of your previous six books ... more >

REVIEW: Scandalizing the Ton by Diane Gaston

JennieBook Reviews / D ReviewsDiane Gaston / Harlequin Historical / Historical Romances / unplanned-pregnancy6 Comments

Dear Ms. Gaston, Several years ago, I read your American debut, The Mysterious Miss M, and enjoyed it quite a bit. Unfortunately, its follow-up, The Wagering Widow, did not work quite as well for me, and I’ve not had the opportunity to read any of your other books until this ... more >

REVIEW: My Lord and Spymaster by Joanna Bourne

JennieC Reviews / C Reviews CategoryAgent/Spies/Undercover / Business woman / England / Historical Romances / Joanna Bourne21 Comments

Dear Ms. Bourne, I was enthralled with the first half of your recent book, The Spymaster’s Lady. A smart hero, a plucky (in a good way) heroine and beautiful prose had the book well on the road to being a solid A for me. Unfortunately, in the second half of ... more >

Fire and Ice Anne Stuart

REVIEW: Fire and Ice by Anne Stuart

JennieC+ ReviewsJapan / romantic-suspense11 Comments

Dear Ms. Stuart, I was one of many readers impressed with the first novel in your "Ice" series, Black Ice.
