REVIEW: Dark Angel by Mary Balogh

JanineA- Reviews / Book ReviewsEarl / England / London / psychological insights / Regency England / revenge-plot43 Comments

Dear Ms. Balogh, Your books have been an acquired taste for me. My early experiences of them were like my first taste of sushi. They too, seemed like something unusual, intense and raw, to which my palate was unaccustomed. At first I wasn’t sure they would appeal to me, since ... more >

REVIEW: Improper Relations by Janet Mullany

JennieA- Reviews / Book Reviews / EbooksFirst-Person / Historical Romances / marriage-of-convenience / Regency England30 Comments

Dear Ms. Mullany, I wasn’t sure what to expect when I picked up this book; humorous romances and regency romances aren’t my two favorite sub-genres. That’s not to say I dislike them; I just tend to favor dark and angsty full-length historicals if given my druthers. I did read your ... more >

REVIEW: An Echo in the Bone by Diana Gabaldon

JennieA- Reviews / Book Reviews18th-century / 20th century / sequel / Time-Travel / War / Military20 Comments

Dear Ms. Smith, When I told some friends I was reading your YA novel, Flygirl, and what it was about, one of them directed me to this article at The New York Times. It’s about the awarding of Congressional Gold Medals to the Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP), who provided ... more >

REVIEW: On the Edge by Ilona Andrews

JanineA Review Category / A- Reviews / B+ Reviews / Need A Rec!alternate-reality / cinderella / Earl / Fairy-Tales / featured / Georgia / Magic / Romance / Urban-Fantasy32 Comments

Dear Ms. Andrews, On the Edge was the first of your books that I’ve read, but it will not be the last. Rose Drayton and her two young brothers, Jack and Georgie, live in the Edge, an area where two dimensions known as the Weird and the Broken overlap. In ... more >

REVIEW: The Secret to Seduction by Julie Anne Long

JanineA- Reviews / Ebooksfamily-reunion / good-description / Good-Dialogue / politics / rake / Regency England / virgin25 Comments

Dear Ms. Long, For me, reading The Secret to Seduction, was like having a glass of champagne. First the effervescent joy of being introduced to your characters through the liquid clarity of your voice, then the warmth of being immersed in the sensations and emotions that those characters grow to ... more >
