REVIEW: Not Proper Enough by Carolyn Jewel

DabneyC+ Reviewsenemies to lovers / historical romance / marquis / Regency England10 Comments

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 >

REVIEW: Indiscreet by Carolyn Jewel

JanetB Reviews Category / B+ Reviews / Book ReviewsCarolyn Jewel / disguise / Historical Romances / Middle East / Regency England / road trip35 Comments

Dear Ms. Jewel: When I met you recently, I had to sheepishly admit that I had not yet read any of your books. So I volunteered to review your new release Indiscreet, relishing the added bonus that it was a Regency set in Turkey. Despite all of the stereotypical sheikh ... more >

REVIEW: My Forbidden Desire by Carolyn Jewel

JanineB Reviews Category / B+ Reviews / Book ReviewsCalifornia / Carolyn Jewel / Contemporary / demons / Magic / Paranormal / Witches17 Comments

Dear Ms. Jewel, It isn’t easy to summarize the plot of your newest book, the paranormal My Forbidden Desire, and doing so necessitates giving away some spoilers for the first book in the series, My Wicked Enemy. That’s because the series is set against a backdrop of a complex battle ... more >
