REVIEW: Always a Stranger by Amara Royce

JanineC+ ReviewsDancer / Earl / historical romance / interracial-romance / London / Victorian era4 Comments

Dear Ms. Royce, I decided to try Always a Stranger, the second in your Victorian Era set historical romance series, because it sounded unconventional and different.

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.
