REVIEW: All In With the Duke by Ava March

WillafulC+ ReviewsEngland / Long Regency / m/m / prostitute16 Comments

Dear Ms. March: One of the reasons I enjoy historical m/m — other than the Reese’s peanut butter cup of two favorite genres put together — is that there’s potential for great angst when the stakes are so high. The prologue of this novel, in which a duke is blackmailed ... more >

REVIEW: India Black and the Widow of Windsor by Carol K. Carr

JiaC Reviews19th century / Berkley Books / historical-Scotland / mystery / prostitute6 Comments

Dear Ms. Carr, I read your debut novel, India Black, earlier this year and enjoyed it a great deal. While I can see why some people would be put off by the voice, I adored the protagonist, a brothel-madam-turned-reluctant-spy, and her unrelenting cynicism and jaded pragmatism. It was refreshing.

REVIEW: Covet by J.R. Ward

JiaBook Reviews / C Reviews / C Reviews Categoryangels / Assassin / demons / domestic abuse / JR-Ward / prostitute / redemption43 Comments

Dear Ms. Ward, I don’t even know where to begin. While it’s true I’m a fan of your Black Dagger Brotherhood series, I stopped making any claims about its purported quality many books back. Romance? Unlike most readers who thought the first books were romance, only for later ones to ... more >

Sex and Death – A Rant

JennieLetters of Opinionfeminism / Linda-Howard / prostitute151 Comments

I recently finished reading Linda Howard’s Death Angel. This will not be a review, as I have no idea how to go about reviewing this book. If I were to judge on the usual criteria – plot, characterization, prose – it’d be maybe a B or a B-. But the ... more >
