REVIEW: 13 Dates by Matt Dunn

JayneB- Reviews / Book ReviewsContemporary / First-Person / Foot in Mouth Disease / illness / London / opposites attract / shy heroComments Off on REVIEW: 13 Dates by Matt Dunn

It’s clear she’s not his normal type, but Noah can’t stop thinking about her—which doesn’t bode well for the blind date he’s already late for. Convinced by his friend (and self-professed ... more >

REVIEW: Pleasured by the Secret Millionaire by Natalie Anderson

JaneB Reviews Category / B- Reviews / Book ReviewsDoctor / Harlequin Presents / illness / medical romance / Natalie Anderson / secrets14 Comments

Dear Ms. Anderson: Over time, the Australia/New Zealand Harlequin Presents (HPs) have become my favorites mostly because I feel that the women are slightly more emancipated in these stories (not always of course). Pleasured features the requisite millionaire but the heroine isn’t a virgin. Instead, she’s provocative and proactive. Sienna, ... more >

Dear Ms. Ashley: As a satisfied reader of your Regency pirate series, I was definitely on board to try your new late Victorian book about a hero who suffers from Asperger’s.   The barbaric aspects of a growing medical tradition and the increasing urbanization and complexity of British society are a ... more >
