It is 1755, and the threat of war with France looms over colonial York, Virginia. Chocolatier Esmée Shaw is fighting her own battle of the heart.

REVIEW: Bellewether by Susanna Kearsley

JayneB- Reviews / Book Reviews18th-century / Canada / Contemporary / dual-timeline / enemies to lovers / French and Indian War / Ghost / museum / soldiers / upstate New York6 Comments

“The house, when I first saw it, seemed intent on guarding what it knew; but we all learned, by the end of it, that secrets aren’t such easy things to keep.” It’s late summer, war is raging, and families are torn apart by divided loyalties and deadly secrets. In this ... more >

REVIEW: Defiant by Pamela Clare

JayneB- Reviews18th-century / American historical / Berkley Books / French and Indian War / Pamela-Clare17 Comments

REVIEW: Untamed by Pamela Clare

JayneB Reviews / B Reviews Category / Book Reviews18th-century / American historical / Berkley Books / French and Indian War / Historical Romances / Pamela-Clare26 Comments

Dear Ms. Clare, After Michael Mann made the French and Indian Wars sexy, a few authors began to use this mainly forgotten episode in North American history. However, you’ve taken it to a whole new level by using it for not only one but two historical series. Brava you! Major ... more >

REVIEW: Surrender by Pamela Clare

JayneB Reviews18th-century / American historical / French and Indian War / Historical Romances3 Comments

Dear Ms. Clare, This one is a definite improvement over last year’s Ride the Fire. Yes, by today’s standards, the hero is a bit overbearing but a) he knows when he’s f*cked up and b) most of the time he’s just trying to keep the heroine safe. And the heroine, ... more >
