June 28, 2011

REVIEW: A Lady’s Lesson in Scandal by Meredith Duran

JennieA- Reviewsacross the tracks / Historical Romances / Meredith Duran / twins20 Comments

Dear Ms. Duran, To my way of thinking, a new book by you is always a cause for celebration, given that your previous books have all earned A minuses or B pluses from me. So I sat down to read A Lady’s Lesson in Scandal with high hopes – hopes ... more >

REVIEW: Wicked Surrender by Jade Lee

JennieBook Reviews / C- Reviewsacross the tracks / Historical Romances / India / Jade-Lee / POC author / theater12 Comments
