REVIEW: Redemption of the Duke by Gayle Callen

SuzanneB- Reviews19th century / England / Historical Romances / lady's companion / PTSD / Victorian England / war heroes2 Comments

Dear Ms. Callen, Redemption of the Duke was a good, solid read for me. While I’ve gone through a handful of your books, I had not read the other two in this series. I’ll probably pick them up soon, having enjoyed this one. It was a shaky start, with a couple pages ... more >

This one tried to tackle too many issues: gambling, blackmail, a girl who flirts too much, the devastated mother who shuns society, grief, etc. Ultimately, ... more >

REVIEW: The Viscount in Her Bedroom by Gayle Callen

JaneBook Reviews / C Reviews Category / C+ ReviewsAvon / blind / disability / Regency England3 Comments

Dear Ms. Callen: When I first picked up your book, The Viscount in Her Bedroom, I was certain I knew exactly what would be inside. Just another Avon Regency historical. Ho hum. The back cover blurb doesn’t do much to differentiate the book from the rest of the pack. The ... more >
