REVIEW: The Charm School by Susan Wiggs

lazaraspasteB+ ReviewsHistorical Romances / shipboard / Ugly heroine33 Comments

Dear Ms. Wiggs, Your book, The Charm School (1999), was suggested to me one night whilst I was prowling around on Twitter looking for answers. I had asked for suggestions of books with ugly heroines. Ugly, mind you, not plain. Plain means that at some point in the novel there ... more >

Dear Mrs. Canham, I hope that your muse can tempt you back into writing. I keep hearing rumors but what I want is to read another new Canham book! ;) Other reviews have decried the amount of violence and sex in “The Iron Rose.” Yes, it’s violent. Yes, it has ... more >
