REVIEW: Reluctant Bride by Joan Smith

JayneB+ Reviews / Book Reviews / Recommended ReadsComedy / enemies to lovers / First-Person / Regency / road-romance12 Comments

Recommended Read

Dear Ms. Smith, I read this book years ago based on reviews and posts at the regency listserv and I loved it. I will say, however, that it’s not going to be for everyone. To begin with, you made it first person and secondly, it’s fairly realistic in it’s portrayal ... more >

REVIEW: Bath Scandal by Joan Smith

JayneB Reviews / Book ReviewsComedy / joan-smith / older heroine and hero / Regency / Regency England16 Comments

Dear Ms. Smith, Several of your Regencies reside on my LOL keeper shelf. “Imprudent Lady,” “Aunt Sophie’s Diamonds,” and “Gather Ye Rosebuds” are fabulously funny. After I started and then stopped a number of other books that didn’t grab my attention by the third chapter, I scanned through my current ... more >

Friday Film Review: Men in Black

My Best Girl (1927) Genre: Romance/Comedy/Silent Film Grade: B+ This movie is so cute I just want to scoop it up and hug it. Mary Pickford’s last silent film, it showcases her charm and talent and proves why she was America’s sweetheart. The plot is nothing new or exciting. Maggie ... more >

You Suck by Christopher Moore

REVIEW: You Suck by Christopher Moore

JayneB ReviewsComedy / San-Francisco / vampires9 Comments

Being undead sucks. Literally. Just ask C. Thomas Flood. Waking up after a fantastic night unlike anything he’s ever experienced, he discovers that his girlfriend, Jody, is a vampire. And surprise! Now he’s one, too. For some couples, the whole biting-and-blood thing would have been a deal breaker. But Tommy ... more >
