REVIEW: My Beautiful Enemy by Sherry Thomas

JennieA- Reviews / Book Reviewsbiracial heroine / China / English Historical / flashbacks / historical romance / POC / POC author24 Comments

Dear Ms. Thomas, Given the current (rocky) state of my relationship with historical romance, I approached your latest book with a certain amount of trepidation. When I’m in a slump, I’m always afraid that my mood will extend to the next book and jinx it somehow (while of course simultaneously ... more >

REVIEW: The Luckiest Lady in London by Sherry Thomas

WillafulB Reviews / Book Reviews / Recommended ReadsHistorical / marriage / POC author / Victorian16 Comments

Recommended Read

My wish was granted! Louisa Cantwell, the ordinary looking, penniless daughter ... more >

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

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. The authors are among the strongest writing historical romance today and the premise linking the three novellas is clever and unusual: each is set in the same location ... more >
