Dear Ms. Bliss, Jane sent me Here Comes the Groom after I told her how much I loved your last book, What the Librarian Did. Like What the Librarian Did, Here Comes the Groom takes a fairly cliched romance novel convention and gives it the kind depth and re-charge that ... more >

REVIEW: Georgeous as Sin by Susan Johnson

JaneBook Reviews / D ReviewsHistorical Romances / revenge-plot / secret / Susan-Johnson19 Comments

Dear Ms. Johnson: I’ve been a long time reader of yours. Pure Sin, Outlaw, the Braddock-Black series, are all on my keeper shelf.
