Dear Author Recommends for March

JaneRecommended ReadsGinn Hale / Josh Lanyon / Naomi-Novik / Nicole Kimberling / Patricia-Briggs / Recommended Reads / Thea Harrison5 Comments

Recommended Read

March is sparse with recommendations but save your money because April has a full slate. Historical The Temporary Wife by Mary Balogh (reissued in a 2-in-1 with A Promise of Spring, which I’m NOT recommending). Recommended by Janine and Sunita.  Reviewed here.

Dear Ms. Novik, Though I fretted for almost two years waiting for this book, I can see from your author’s notes that you’ve had a lot to keep you busy having had your own little egg, as the dragons would say, in the interim. Still, what a book you’ve written ... more >

It’s hard to believe that July is here and 2010 is half over. This year seems to have flown by. I think I might have slept through some of it because I certainly don’t remember the months of April or May. Lady Isabella’s Scandalous Lover by Jennifer Ashley. Recommended by ... more >
