REVIEW: High Seas Stowaway by Amanda McCabe

JayneBook Reviews / C Reviews Category / C+ Reviews / Ebooks16th-century / Caribbean / Harlequin / Historical Romances5 Comments

Dear Ms. McCabe, Last year when I read your book “A Sinful Alliance,” the secondary Italian character Balthazar Grattiano caught my eye. Well, he and the Tudor setting. So I was a happy woman when I learned that he was going to get his own book and that it would ... more >

REVIEW: Shipwrecked and Seduced by Amanda McCabe

JayneB Reviews Category / B- Reviews / Book Reviews / C Reviews / C Reviews Category / Ebooks16th-century / Caribbean / Harlequin / Harlequin Undone / Historical Romances9 Comments

Dear Ms. McCabe, I think this is an example of one of the best titles I’ve seen in a long time. Why? Because it basically covers just about everything in the plot. Like the first of the new Harlequin Undone line I read, “Libertine Lord, Pickpocket Miss” by Bronwyn Scott, ... more >

REVIEW: The Briar Rose by Dinah Dean

JayneB Reviews / B Reviews Category / Book Reviews16th-century / England / Henry-VIII / Historical / My Favorite Things-2006 / Tudor-England7 Comments

Dear Readers, This was a nice little book. It’s set in 1540 England during the dissolution of the last monastery by Henry VIII. Now, when’s the last time you read a book with that background? The heroine’s father has been the bailey of the monastery of Woodham which is to ... 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 >
