REVIEW: The Highwayman by Kerrigan Byrne

JanineDNF Reviewscountess / ex-con / historical romance / mistorical / Scotland / Victorian England14 Comments

Dear Ms. Byrne, More and more, it seems like the newer crop of historical romances are leaving the history behind. I’m not a stickler for historicity, but I want a historical romance to have at least some historical feel. These days many books don’t even read like they take place ... more >

REVIEW: One Night to Remember by Kristin Miller

Dear Ms. Miller, You can’t seem to go anywhere lately without hearing about the Titanic. It’s been on TV all weekend and commercials for the 3D movie seem to play every 10 minutes. It must have worked for me, because I went looking for Titanic books online and settled upon ... more >
