Recommended Read

When Jane asked for lists of our “Best of 2012,” I got stuck on what best meant. Did it mean the best in terms of quality? The best in terms of most enjoyable? The best in terms of standouts? Did books I called best this year have to be as ... more >

REVIEW: Midnight Scandals by Courtney Milan, Sherry Thomas, Carolyn Jewel

SunitaB Reviews / B+ Reviews / B- Reviews / Book Reviews / Recommended Reads19th century / Anthology / historical romance / POC author / Regency England / self-published11 Comments

Recommended Read

Dear Ms. Jewel, Ms. Milan, and Ms. Thomas, I’ve been waiting for this anthology since I first heard about it last spring.

REVIEW: The Governess Affair by Courtney Milan

JaneB Reviews / Book Reviewshistorical romance / novella / POC author / pregnancy / Rape / revenge / self-published34 Comments

Dear Ms. Milan: It’s difficult to give a grade to each one of your books because your prose is so fine that my complaints, if I have any, always sound so mean (as in small not cruel). There are some brilliant things in this book, so brilliant that I needed ... more >

REVIEW: Unraveled by Courtney Milan

JaneBook Reviews / C+ ReviewsCourtney Milan / Historical Romances / POC author27 Comments
