REVIEW: Sinless by Lynne Connolly

JayneBook Reviews / C+ Reviews18th-century / Agent/Spies/Undercover / class differences / Commoner Aristocracy pairing / England / gay historical / Georgian / Historical / lawyer4 Comments

In Georgian England, love can mean ruin—even for a Shaw . . . Lord Darius Shaw has never been in love before. But when he renews his acquaintance with lawyer Andrew Graham in a raid on a molly house, where men meet men for forbidden pleasure, they discover mutual feelings ... more >

REVIEW: A Betting Chance by Lynne Connolly

JayneB- Reviews / Book Reviewsacross the tracks / England / gambling / Georgian / Historical Romances / lynne-connolly / Samhain-publishing13 Comments

Sapphira Vardon needs five thousand pounds to avoid a cruel marriage and a grim future, and there’s only one path for her. Don a mask and an assumed name, and risk everything to win at the gaming tables. First, though, she has to get through the door. Luckily she knows ... more >

REVIEW: Hareton Hall by Lynne Connolly

JayneBook Reviews / C ReviewsEngland / Georgian / Historical Romances / lynne-connolly / Richard-and-Rose / Samhain-publishing11 Comments

The Kerres have seen Richard's love for Rose and now her family gets a taste of it. Rose has had her chance to do the "Lady Strang" thing in Exeter so I would hope that this will lessen in scope for any future novels. As well, despite the fact that Richard is *so* private about his feelings for Rose, he's let them show so damn much that the whole country ought to know of them by now. Just get them the matching tattoos done and T-shirts to wear and drop this.

REVIEW: Eyton by Lynne Connolly

Dear Mrs. Connolly, At last, at last. The continuation of the series faithful fans have been waiting for. It all started years ago with “Yorkshire,” “Devonshire,” “Venice” and “Harley Street” as we watched the aristocratic Richard Kerre, heir to the Earldom of Southland, and Rose Golightly, daughter of the gentry, ... more >

REVIEW: Tantalizing Secrets by Lynne Connolly

JayneB Reviews / B Reviews Category / Book Reviews / Ebooksacross the tracks / Georgian / Historical Romances / lynne-connolly9 Comments

Dear Mrs. Connolly, I must thank you for continuing to write in my favorite historical era, the Georgian. There’s just something I adore about strong men in powdered wigs, wearing bright colored coats with small swords at their sides. Oh, and red heeled shoes. Can’t forget those. Period paintings make ... more >

REVIEW: Alluring Secrets by Lynne Connolly

JayneB Reviews Category / B- Reviews / Book Reviews / EbooksGeorgian / Historical Romances / lynne-connolly / Samhain-publishing15 Comments

Dear Mrs. Connolly, “Alluring Secrets” is the second story of this latest trio available from Samhain Publishing. While it’s going to get a better grade than the first story, “Seductive Secrets,” there were still a few things that didn’t work quite right for me. Penelope Makepiece is a young woman ... more >
