About Suzanne

Suzanne loves historical romance most of all, but also enjoys smutty paranormal romances, contemporaries, young adult, and epic fantasy. She worked four years in a bookstore, where she was in charge of organizing and maintaining the romance section. She keeps immaculate yearly spreadsheets of every book she's read, the number of re-reads per book, and her personal rating. Doesn't everyone?

REVIEW: Dark Surrender by Erica Ridley

SuzanneA- Reviews / Recommended ReadsBeauty-and-the-Beast / Gothic / governess / historical romance / problem child9 Comments

Recommended Read

Dear Ms. Ridley: I don’t buy any romance novel unless I’m certain, based on past experience, that I’ll enjoy it. But you were offering a free novella and I like the price of free. I downloaded it from Amazon and read it in a quick evening. Nice story, loved the ... more >

Scribd: Shut Up and Take My Money

SuzanneEbooksEbooks / reading apps / Scribd / subscription service49 Comments

Dear Author had an excellent Scribd offer a few months back, giving us a three-month trial instead of one month. I signed up, happy to have access to free books for three months. At least, that was the idea. I planned to read my fill for three months and cancel ... more >

REVIEW: The Accidental Countess by Valerie Bowman

SuzanneD ReviewsEngland / friends become lovers / hidden identity / Regency historical / shy heroine / war heroes9 Comments

Dear Ms. Bowman, When the story switched perspectives from heroine to hero at the fifth chapter, my distinct thought was: I don’t know how I made it past the first four chapters in this book without slapping someone. It was not an auspicious start and went downhill from there. Both ... more >

  SPOILER WARNING: If you haven’t read the other books in the Rules of Scoundrels series, you might not want to read this, especially if you don’t want to be spoiled about Chase’s identity. Dear Ms. MacLean, First, let’s rebel and judge the lady on this highly suitable cover. That ... more >

REVIEW: How to Lose a Duke in Ten Days by Laura Lee Guhrke

SuzanneB+ Reviews / Recommended ReadsAmerican heroine / England / historical romance / marriage-of-convenience / Recommended Reads / sexual-assault / wounded hero20 Comments

Recommended Read

Dear Ms. Guhrke, A historical romance heroine traumatized by sexual assault is a rare and challenging plot line. We see it in contemporary romance with frequency, but in the land of manners and repressed inhibitions, where there’s an unwed duke allotted to every good soul in the British Empire (and ... more >

REVIEW: The Governess Club: Sara by Ellie Macdonald

SuzanneB ReviewsAlpha Male / England / historical romance4 Comments

Dear Ms. Macdonald, To be honest, I found your story by happenstance on Amazon and investigated further because I really like yellow dresses. Great cover you have there. Still, many gorgeous covers have masked terrible insides, so I never buy a book on Amazon without reading an excerpt. I clicked the ‘Look ... more >
