Reading List by Rose for May & June

RoseBook ReviewsReading lists21 Comments

His Majesty’s Dragon by Naomi Novik I’m a bit late when it comes to this series, since I somehow managed not to hear about it until recently. A series set during the Napoleonic Wars, only with an aerial corps of dragons, sounded like a fantastic idea. Novik has managed to give the dragons character and personalities and ... more >

REVIEW: In For a Penny by Rose Lerner

RoseB Reviews / Recommended ReadsEngland / historical romance / Regency13 Comments

Recommended Read

Dear Ms. Lerner, I’ve been having a hard time finding historical romances to read, and Janine suggested that I take a look at your older romances. I actually read A Lily Among Thorns a while ago and it didn’t leave much of an impression, but In For a Penny turned out ... more >

REVIEW: Take Me On by Katie McGarry

RoseB ReviewsContemporary / MMA / Young-Adult2 Comments

Dear Ms. McGarry, Take Me On is the fourth book in your more-or-less connected series that began with Pushing the Limits.

REVIEW: Backwoods by Jill Sorenson

RoseB- Reviews / C+ Reviewsadventure / California / romantic-suspense / teen romance1 Comments

Dear Ms. Sorenson, Several of your books can be characterized as adventure/survival-driven romantic suspense, with outdoor California settings playing a large role in the narrative. I think this has been a good direction for you, but while I enjoyed parts of Backwoods, I don’t feel it’s one of your better ... more >

REVIEW: Far Gone by Laura Griffin

RoseC ReviewsFBI / police / romantic-suspense / texas7 Comments

Dear Ms. Griffin, When your books work for me, they’re a great blend of romance and suspense. When they’re not, they tend to be okay but forgettable reads. Unfortunately, Far Gone falls in the latter category. Andrea Finch is an Austin police detective currently on leave after a shooting incident ... more >
