REVIEW: The Oracle Glass by Judith Merkle Riley

JayneB Reviews Category / B+ Reviews / Book Reviews17th-century / France / Magic10 Comments

Dear Ms. Riley, I spent my formative romance reading years devouring the “Angelique” series which begins in 17th century France at the court of the Sun King and have enjoyed movies using this time frame. So, when this book was mentioned at AAR after someone posted asking for books which ... more >

REVIEW: Speechless by Yvonne Collins and Sandy Rideout

JayneB Reviews Category / B+ Reviews / Book ReviewsCanada / chick-lit / government7 Comments

Ladies, I loved your second book, “What I Really Want to Do is Direct” and knew I had to go back and read your first, “Speechless.” It’s worth every trade paperback penny. I hope you two have something else in the works because if not, I’m afraid I’ll go into ... more >

Dear Ms. Goodman: I love your writing. If every historical was written with the depth, emotion and passion of your stories, I don’t think the historical genre would be faltering. The pacing and the absurd ending is the only thing that keeps me from giving this book an A. One ... more >

REVIEW: By Love’s Command by Helen Carras

JayneB+ Reviews16th-century / France / Historical RomancesComments Off on REVIEW: By Love’s Command by Helen Carras

Dear Ms Carras, This one starts out as a tad more like a historical novel than a historical romance. Kind of in the Plaidy/Lofts style. But the second half turns up the romance. It’s 1558 and 17 year old Jean Hamilton is a spirited Highland lass who’s been sent to ... more >

REVIEW: Kushiel’s Scion by Jacqueline Carey

JaneB Reviews / B+ Reviews / Book ReviewsJacqueline-Carey5 Comments

Dear Ms. Carey, Your voice is like none other than I have ever read. You have a way of making a 700 page book seem like a glorious journey instead of an arduous task. When I first recieved the book, I was a little daunted by its size. I had ... more >
