REVIEW: Sunshine on a Rainy Day by Bryony Fraser

JayneB Reviews / Book ReviewsContemporary / England / estranged marriage / family relationships / Interracial / London / marriage on the rocks2 Comments

It’s Zoe and Jack’s first wedding anniversary party. They’ve got an announcement! They’re getting divorced. Marriage isn’t for everyone – something that Zoe and Jack discovered only after they’d walked down the aisle. Bad timing, huh? So now they’re stuck together in their once harmonious marital home, neither one of ... more >

REVIEW: Wildfire at Midnight by Mary Stewart

SunitaB ReviewsContemporary / estranged marriage / mystery / romantic-suspense / Scotland35 Comments

Dear Ms. Stewart: Among my first and most beloved romantic novels are the novels of Mary Stewart. Although probably best known for the Merlin fantasy trilogy, I first discovered the romantic suspense novels. When I saw that at least one was being rereleased I quickly asked to review, despite the ... more >

REVIEW: Trial by Desire by Courtney Milan

lazaraspasteA Reviews / Book ReviewsCourtney Milan / estranged marriage / Marriage-in-Trouble / POC author / reunited-lovers40 Comments

If I were to describe this plot, I would say that it is a plot of estranged spouses. Ned has gone from boy to man, as is most often the result of journeys. And Lady Kathleen has suffered the rumor of her husband's swift removal for the past three years. But this book is so much more than the reconciliation of estranged spouses. It is more than the two protagonist's getting to know each other as they fall in love, despite the forced marriage. No, this is a book about what makes a hero.

REVIEW: The First Snowdrop by Mary Balogh

JanineB- Reviewsestranged marriage / family relationships / marriage-of-convenience / Regency England / theater15 Comments

Dear Ms. Balogh, Your traditional regencies are books I often find interesting even when though they are not always necessarily romantic or sexy to me. That's because the characters have human flaws and weaknesses not often seen in many of today's books. Such is the case with Alex, Viscount Merrick, ... more >

REVIEW: Simply Insatiable by Kate Pearce

JennieB- Reviews / Book Reviewsestranged marriage / m/m romance / m/m/f / Regency England2 Comments

Dear Ms. Pearce, I read and reviewed your book Simply Wicked last year and gave it a C+. Since I mentioned in that review that I was interested in reading the series further (in spite of the mediocre grade I gave the book), you were kind enough to offer me ... more >
