REVIEW: The Archer’s Heart by Astrid Amara

JiaB Reviews / B Reviews Category / Book ReviewsFantasy Romance / gambling / Gay / India / LGBTQIA+ / m/m romance / Magic / Royalty19 Comments

Dear Ms. Amara, There’s a continuing discussion among fantasy circles about non-Western settings and non-Caucasian characters in fantasy. Or more to the point, the lack thereof. I confess I count myself among their number. I realize many people take it as a given that a fantasy setting should be faux ... more >

REVIEW: Lieutenant Samuel Blackwood (deceased): A Georgian Ghost Story by Emma Collingwood

JanB ReviewsAction/Adventure / Georgian / ghost-story / Historical Romances / m/m romance / Romance12 Comments

Dear Ms. Collingwood, I both liked and didn’t like your novella Lieutenant Samuel Blackwood (deceased). I was attracted to it as soon as Jane offered it to us, because your email mentioned it was a penny-dreadful styled ghost story, and I love the ghost stories of the Victorian era (it’s ... more >
