JOINT REVIEW: The Duke of Dark Desires by Miranda Neville

RoseA- Reviews / B+ Reviews / Need A Rec! / Recommended ReadsArt / Duke / England / governess / historical romance / Recommended Reads / revenge / Wild Quartet series7 Comments

Recommended Read

Rose: Having enjoyed the previous books in Neville’s Wild Quartet, I was looking forward to Julian’s story, The Duke of Dark Desires (despite the unappealing alliterative title) and was not disappointed.

Reading List by Rose for October/November

RoseBook ReviewsReading lists6 Comments

Sweet Disorder by Rose Lerner When I reviewed Lerner’s In for a Penny, comments were pretty much split between readers who liked that one best and those who preferred Sweet Disorder. Having now read both, I definitely prefer In for a Penny. I appreciate Lerner’s focus on people outside the nobility and ... more >

REVIEW: Heroes Are My Weakness by Susan Elizabeth Phillips

RoseD ReviewsContemporary / Gothic / Maine / novelist / puppets30 Comments

REVIEW: Red Dirt Duchess by Louise Reynolds

RoseC Reviews / C- ReviewsAustralian Outback / Contemporary / England / opposites3 Comments

Dear Ms. Reynolds: I decided to read Red Dirt Duchess because it was set in part in outback Australia and because the heroine sounded interesting. The Australian setting was nice and Charlie was indeed an enjoyable heroine, but it wasn’t enough to overcome some weaknesses in the plot and characterization. Before I move on, ... more >
