REVIEW: The Suffragette Scandal by Courtney Milan

WillafulB+ Reviews / Book Reviews / Need A Rec! / Recommended Readsfeminism / Historical Romances / journalist / POC author / Recommended Reads / Victorian28 Comments

Recommended Read

Dear Ms. Milan: It seems very apt that the last book in the Brothers Sinister series is being promoted with a funny tumblr written by one of its characters, because it feels like a book that sprang from the Internet. I’m honestly not sure if that’s a complaint or a ... more >

CONVERSATIONAL REVIEW: The Windflower by Laura London (aka Tom and Sharon Curtis)

JanetClassic Romance Reviews1980s / Classic Review / Historical Romances / joint review / pirates / Regency / republication / The WindflowerComments Off on CONVERSATIONAL REVIEW: The Windflower by Laura London (aka Tom and Sharon Curtis)

In preparation for our book club on The Windflower, Sunita and Robin undertook a conversational review of the book. Very soon it became clear that in order to keep said review under the actual page limit of the book itself, we’d have to do more of a general commentary that ... more >

REVIEW: Redemption of the Duke by Gayle Callen

SuzanneB- Reviews19th century / England / Historical Romances / lady's companion / PTSD / Victorian England / war heroes2 Comments

REVIEW: Sonata for a Scoundrel by Anthea Lawson

KellyB- Reviews19th century / Historical Romances / Musicians9 Comments

Dear Ms. Lawson, I finished Sonata for Scoundrel just as Robin’s Reading What You Know post set off an epic discussion of book-trance-killing pet peeves. As I read through all the replies, I realized that my inner red flags were at the ready when I started your story of a ... more >

REVIEW: The Escort by Gina Robinson

KellyC ReviewsAmerican historical / Historical Romances / immigrants / self-published1 Comments

Dear Ms. Robinson, It’s like there was a big neon sign on the blurb for this book that flashed “I wrote this just for Kelly.” Young, beautiful Italian mail-order bride Angelina D’Alessandro is married by proxy to an older man she’s never met-her only chance to escape the poverty of ... more >
