Dear Mr. Aaronovitch, I’ve been recommending enough books here lately that I have started to worry that my grades are overgenerous.

REVIEW: Firelight by Kristen Callihan

JiaC- ReviewsGothic / Grand-Central-Publishing / Historical Romances / London / paranormal romance13 Comments

REVIEW: Silk Is for Seduction by Loretta Chase

JaneB+ Reviewsfashion / Georgian / Historical Romances / London / Loretta-Chase / opposites attract / Paris36 Comments

Dear Ms. Chase: “He truly did love her. After all she’d told him. He truly believed she could do anything.” That’s an amazing showing of love.  He believed she could do anything.  The Duke of Clevedon falls so in love with Marcelline Noirot, shopkeeper, that he believed she could convince ... more >
