REVIEW: Rules for a Proper Governess by Jennifer Ashley

JaneB- ReviewsEarly Victorian / HistoricalComments Off on REVIEW: Rules for a Proper Governess by Jennifer Ashley

Dear Ms. Ashley: As many readers here know, I’ve really struggled with the historical romance genre in the past few years despite it being my favorite genre in romance. And it’s not that I haven’t been trying to read it, but it’s been hard to lose myself in the books. I ... more >

REVIEW: Tiger Magic by Jennifer Ashley

JaneB- ReviewsParanormal / Shapeshifter6 Comments

JaneB Reviews19th century / Historical Romances / Jennifer-Ashley6 Comments

Dear Ms. Ashley: In The Madness of Lord Ian MacKenzie, Mac says to Ian: Mac sighed, cutting through the memory. “We’re Mackenzies. We don’t get happy endings.” Ian wiped his eyes with the back of his hand and didn’t answer. Their father lived by the mantra that sparing the rod ... more >
