JOINT REVIEW: The Dark Lady by Maire Claremont

JanineD Reviewsaddict / England / historical romance / India / joint review / scarred-people / Victorian era / viscount18 Comments

Janine: I was initially going to review Maire Claremont’s debut, The Dark Lady: A Novel of Mad Passions, alone, but when I discussed the novel with Sunita, she caught a couple of historical errors.

Dear Ms. Showalter, Even though the prequel and first book of your Lords of the Underworld series failed to impress me, I wasn’t ready to give up on such a great premise. I hoped one of the later installments would work better for me. With this second book in the ... more >

REVIEW: Carolina’s Walking Tour by Lesley-Anne McLeod

JayneB Reviews / B Reviews Category / Book Reviews / EbooksLesley-Anne McLeod / novella / Regency England / scarred-people10 Comments

Dear Mrs. McLeod, I have a soft spot for the unheralded people of the world finding love. People not as beautiful or dazzling, not as charming or glib as those who easily command the spotlight. Yet at the same time, I don’t want authors to pour misery on the head ... more >
