Darkness at Dawn by Elizabeth Jennings

REVIEW: Darkness at Dawn by Elizabeth Jennings

JaclynB- ReviewsElizabeth Jennings / Military / romantic-suspense / scholar10 Comments

Dear Ms. Jennings, I’ve been reading thrillers since high school. My mom introduced me to Eric Van Lustbader’s series, The Sunset Warrior Cycle, which is more fantasy/sci fi than straight up thriller, but in a search for more Lustbader I found a whole lot of Robert Ludlum in the mass-market ... more >

REVIEW: Follow My Lead by Kate Noble

lazaraspasteBook ReviewsAgency pricing / Historical Romances / Recommended Reads / scholar14 Comments

Dear Ms. Noble, This is the story of a Duke and a Scholar. But you know that already. Winnifred Crane is an art historian. She is also female, as both her name and the attached pronoun would suggest. It doesn’t matter that she’s brilliant. It doesn’t matter that she’s turned ... more >

REVIEW: Scoundrel by Zoe Archer

JanetB Reviews19th century / Action/Adventure / Magic / Paranormal / scholar10 Comments

Dear Ms. Archer: This review is testimony to the strength of the second half of Scoundrel.

REVIEW: Bound by Your Touch by Meredith Duran

JennieA- Reviews19th century / dysfunctional family / Historical Romances / Meredith Duran / redemption / revenge-plot / scholar16 Comments

Dear Ms. Duran, I was a big fan of your debut The Duke of Shadows, published last year. I can’t say how excited I was to learn that you had not one but two books scheduled for release in 2009, one in June and the other in July. Having now ... more >

REVIEW: Bound by Your Touch by Meredith Duran

JaneA Review Category / A Reviews / Book Reviews19th century / dysfunctional family / Historical Romances / Meredith Duran / redemption / revenge-plot / scholar43 Comments

Dear Ms. Duran: I was probably the only member of the Dear Author reviewing team that didn’t love your freshman debut, DUKE OF SHADOWS. For me, it read like a love story between you and India and not so much a love story between the characters. I admit that despite ... more >
