REVIEW: And Then He Kissed Her by Laura Lee Guhrke

JaneA Review Category / A Reviews / Book Reviews19th century / Laura-Lee-Guhrke13 Comments

Dear Ms. Guhrke: I admit to not buying your book when it first came out. It had nothing to do with you, the author, and everything to do with the fact I wasn’t really in love with the last couple books you put out. Further you wrote primarily in the ... more >

REVIEW: And Only to Deceive by Tasha Alexander

JayneB Reviews / B Reviews Category / Book Reviews19th century / Historical Romances / mystery11 Comments

Dear Ms. Putney, This collection, published by Jove in 2002, includes one original contemporary Christmas novella and reprints of four of your older novellas from the early 1990s. All but one were new to me when I picked up this book. Here are my opinions of each of the stories: ... more >

Dear Ms Jensen, For readers who are as anal as I am about trying to read a series in order, let me spell out this one. “Vivid Notions” is the second book in this series that started with CHOICE DECEPTIONS (other books in the series are Coup De Grace, His ... more >
