REVIEW: Gallant Match by Jennifer Blake

JayneB Reviews Category / B- Reviews / Book Reviews19th century / American historical / Harlequin / Historical Romances / Mexico / Mira / New-Orleans13 Comments

Dear Ms. Blake, Last year I enjoyed another in your “Masters at Arms” series so when the arc arrived for “Gallant Match,” I made sure to make room for it on my reading schedule. Once again we’re back in second quarter 19th century New Orleans (May 1846 to be precise) ... more >

REVIEW: Her Captain’s Heart by Lyn Cote

JayneB Reviews / B Reviews Category / Book Reviews / Ebooks19th century / American historical / Harlequin / Harlequin Love Inspired Historical / Reconstruction10 Comments

Dear Mrs. White, In a historical book world filled with Regency this, Norman knight that and followed by kilted Highlanders mangling brogue it’s nice to occasionally find a story with a different setting. There’s been a dearth of American set historicals recently. One which I hope this book will help ... more >

REVIEW: Between the Thunder by Patricia Potter

JayneB Reviews / B Reviews Category / Book ReviewsAmerican historical / Civil-War / Historical / Historical Romances / War / Military / western5 Comments

Dear Ms. Potter, This older book is certainly a different approach to the Late Hostilities. Readers tired of the standard plantation settings and who enjoy Westerns might like it as it’s set mainly in Colorado and Texas. Then it carries on a bit further into the months after the war. ... more >
