The Bartered Virgin by Chevon Gael

REVIEW: The Bartered Virgin by Chevon Gael

JayneB- Reviewsarranged-marriage / Carina Press / Historical Romances / NYC11 Comments

Dear Ms. Gael, I almost didn’t read your novel after a title mistake on the blurb page. The hero is described as Sir David Knightsbridge, Earl of Wolshingham. Um, just no. Thankfully, this is corrected in the text. Now, on to the review. Winnifred Percy doesn’t want to become the ... more >

REVIEW: Wish on the Moon by Barri Bryan

Dear Mr and Mrs. Houston, Now we’re back in business. After my disappointment in the contemporary book of yours I tried, I figured I’d better go back to a historical. And since I’ve been in the mood for westerns lately, this seemed a good choice. Twenty seven year old Isabel ... more >
