Dear Ms. Jewel, As you are the author of one of Scandal, one of my favorite historical romances of this decade, I was excited when I saw that Surrender to Ruin had finally been released. This is the third book in the Sinclair Sisters trilogy, which began with Lord Ruin, ... more >

Dear Ms. Jewel, I was excited to read Not Proper Enough because two of your earlier books are on my list of favorite historical novels—my Ballin’ Bodice Rippers compilation—Lord Ruin (reviewed here by Jane) and Scandal (reviewed here by Janine.)  I haven’t read the first book in your Reforming the Scoundrels ... more >
