Beauty and the Heroine

lazaraspasteLetters of Opinionheroines / Ugly Duckling / Ugly heroine49 Comments

I tend to read for three things: a visceral response, a delightful and interesting use of language, and character. While genre fiction often relies on plot rather than prose to compel the reader forward, I firmly believe that the best plots are rooted in character. Even if the plot of ... more >

REVIEW: The Charm School by Susan Wiggs

lazaraspasteB+ ReviewsHistorical Romances / shipboard / Ugly heroine33 Comments

Dear Ms. Wiggs, Your book, The Charm School (1999), was suggested to me one night whilst I was prowling around on Twitter looking for answers. I had asked for suggestions of books with ugly heroines. Ugly, mind you, not plain. Plain means that at some point in the novel there ... more >

Dear Ms. Mallory, I read Seven Secrets of Seduction over winter break. This, despite the fact, that I had been wanting to read it since it came out. Alas, my life conspires against me and I was caught in a maelstrom of duty.   So, even though it had been on ... more >

REVIEW: The Seduction of Miranda Prosper by Marissa Day

lazaraspasteC ReviewsErotic-Romance / Historical Romances / Magic / Paranormal / Threesome43 Comments

Dear Ms. Day, I never know what grades to give erotica, because, much like exotic foodstuffs, it is a genre that is peculiarly subjective to what Englishmen call taste, the French call bon gout, and everyone else chalks up to appetite. But let’s be fair, Ms. Day, most erotica is-‘even ... more >
