review 1: Although this was a romance novel; it was not the usual type. Yes, there was a beautiful woman and a handsome rugged cowboy-type who meet and are attracted to each other. But the reason for their meeting and the background stories of both were a bit unusual. It made for a good...

review 1: There are several things that I enjoyed about this book. First, there was no excessive language, or language for that matter. Second, no excessive sex scenes, and finally, I loved Leo and his commentary all throughout the book. Even though the love story is about Maddie and Leo's...

review 1: I think I may stop reading historical romances. I used to enjoy this author, but this book gave me no sense of history, no sense of the society that prevailed then, no sense of fun which redeems the lack of the first two, sometimes, and no sense of empathy. I could have cared l...

review 1: Note to self for future reference.1. Both H and h knew that they are crossing a moral and 'legal' boundaries but they went and to the 'bed' anyway because IT felt good for them. I hate this excuse. Ten or even 5 years ago I can swallow it but now a days it's just made me roll my ...

review 1: I really enjoy a book that hits home for me and can portray a soldier the way they really are/can be after being in a combat zone. Nothing about PTSD is fake and I commend Ms. London for giving it the attention it deserves, yet not being dramatic in including it into a characters...

review 1: Honor Cabot is a bit of a hellion. Not a title one would normally give a debutante, but appropriate nevertheless. But, when she hires the illegitimate soon of the Duke of Gloucester to seduce her soon to be sister-in-law away from her brother, she gets more than she bargained ...

review 1: This one was so much better than the first in the series! I was frankly wondering why I'd saddled myself with this trilogy as I found the first truly a bit of a slog. This one was simply enjoyable entertainment. The good guy's a good guy, and all's well that ends well... If I hav...

review 1: I liked this book but I didn't love it. The pace of it started off really slow, and because of that it really felt too long. There were also several errors, the most grievous being the mixing up of names. There were at least 3 instances where Lily was used instead of Lucy, someti...

review 1: I really enjoyed this book. I liked the meanness of Lord Eberlin and the fact that he had what's known as panic attacks today. I liked that Lily was no shrinking violet and decided to fight back. I listened to the audio version narrated by Justine Eyre and you can count on her...

review 1: There was some closure for the series; in that the jewels mystery was solved but it was anticlimatic. The story was OK at best. I did not like the heroine raped by her husband and abused and her seeming passiveness. The Hero was a wimp. The premise was a bit strange with the ...

review 1: I love everything to do with Scotlandand and the Highlands. It must be the romantic in me, but the vision of rolling hills, lochs and brawny Lairds makes me wish to visit. In Julia London’s, The Last Debutante, she takes us an adventure that is sure to satisfy all of us Scottish ...

review 1: I absolutely loved reading both books in the Pine River series and am anxiously awaiting a 3rd! Leo is the greatest and while I can tell that if there's a 3rd book, readers may have to deal with sadness as Leo's condition further deteriorates, I absolutely want to find out what h...

review 1: This is an adult book. It was very cheesy and uninteresting for the first half of the book but did have a very cute ending. Maybe I would give it 2.5 stars, but overall, it wasn't that great for me. Eli and Marnie work together on a wedding of two megastars, but instead of a beau...

review 1: This book was just okay for me. For starters, I listened to the audiobook. The problem with audiobooks is that the narrator can make or break a book and this narrator just didn't work for me. The dialog was overly dramatic at times and the voices used for the male characters were...

review 1: I have hardly read much of courtesan-lord/duke pairings, so of course I was excited to start reading. It was entertaining to read. But I couldn't find my self liking the characters much. I mean after 85% of the book if the Duke still proposes the courtesan to be his mistress afte...

review 1: Stars - 4.5This story is a great example of the “what would you do” book. The situation, based on a colossal error, leads Macy, Finn and Wyatt to have to live through an emotional roller coaster of emotional highs and lows that I would not wish on anyone. It was heart wrenching f...

review 1: OMG really? I only read 17% through the book before deciding I couldn't read anymore. Honor was selfish, thoughtless, impetuous, and inconsiderate. Yes, there's the possibility that she may redeem herself, but given how willfully she breaks the mores of the time period WITHOUT PE...

review 1: I enjoyed this story, but I probably would not buy it to add to my collection. The main problem with the book is that the hero is wonderful, and it seems so unbelievable that the heroine, Lizzy, would not totally thank God for being handfasted to Jack. He is good looking, rich, w...

review 1: I would have enjoyed this book a lot more if the author didn’t spend the first third of it rehashing the first book in the series. I always enjoy when the author gives me reminders of who characters are from previous books but I wasn’t expecting a full synopsis. By the time the s...
