REVIEW: The Perils of Pleasure by Julie Anne Long

JanineB Reviews / B Reviews Category19th century / class-difference / crime / England / Julie-Anne-Long / London / mystery / rake / widow11 Comments

Dear Ms. Long, Of the authors writing historical romance, you are one of my absolute favorites. Not too long ago, I sang the praises of your previous book, The Secret to Seduction, in what is one of the longest, most detailed reviews I have ever written. After I finished reading ... more >

REVIEW: The Winter Rose by Jennifer Donnelly

JayneBook Reviews / C Reviews / C Reviews Category / Ebooks20th century / across the tracks / crime / London / medicine / saga26 Comments

Dear Ms. Donnelly, When I opened the package containing the arc of your latest book “The Winter Rose” I gulped. Reason one: it’s got a very nice cover. Reason two: it’s a hella lot of book. 700+ pages of trade paperback sized book to be exact. It’s the type of ... more >

REVIEW: The Frenchman’s Marriage Demand by Chantelle Shaw

JaneBook Reviews / D ReviewsContemporary / forced-marriage / Harlequin-Presents / London10 Comments

Dear Ms. Shaw: This was the second bestselling Harlequin Presents at eharlequin.com. I read it after The Virgin’s Wedding Night and while the two books had similar emotional character arcs, my response to them was extremely different. While Craven’s book interested me enough to buy others, The Frenchman’s Marriage Demand ... more >

REVIEW: Ice Storm by Anne Stuart

JanineB- ReviewsAgent/Spies/Undercover / Good-Dialogue / good-narration / London / Morocco / romantic-suspense / Spain / terrorists / Violence23 Comments

Dear Ms. Stuart, The latest book in your Ice series, Ice Storm, opens with a bang. Literally. In a prologue set sometime in the past, we are introduced to nineteen-year-old the heroine this way: Mary Isobel Curwen had never shot a man before. She stood there, numb, unmoving. She’d never ... more >

REVIEW: Unforgettable by Shelley Munro

JayneB Reviews / B Reviews Category / Book Reviews / Ebooksacross the tracks / London / World War II3 Comments

Dear Mrs Munro, While I’m not a recent Ellora’s Cave virgin like Janine, I’m still not a “rode hard and put up wet” veteran either. Since my tastes don’t run to BDSM, a lot of EC offerings leave me less than enthused about trying them. But your book with its ... more >

REVIEW: Voices of the Night by Lydia Joyce

JanineA Review Category / A- Reviews / Book Reviews19th century / class-difference / crime / Historical Romances / London / Lydia-Joyce / Masquerade18 Comments

Dear Ms. Joyce, I've been reading your books since The Veil of Night came out. I thought it was a bit above average for a debut, but conventional. The two books that followed were somewhat stronger in my opinion. All three showed a talent for conjuring an atmosphere, and main ... more >
