review 1: This was a fairly cute short story about mistaken identities. This was also my introduction to this author. I found the book to be very entertaining, and it had a very (cliché, I know) romantic view of romance. I liked the naiveté of Amanda the most and I could actually relate...

review 1: This book truly brings you to the era of British Regency. It has a unique plot, with twists and breathtaking reveals. It depicts a love story of two people who grew up from different worlds, and although outside forces still continued to tear them apart, they still found a way to...

review 1: I certainly liked the hero, Michael de Grey. His brother, the duke is the villain in this story. Michael studied medicine and finds being a doctor gives him purpose and he likes healing people as he was unable to help his mother who died slowly. The heroine is a bit atypical. ...

review 1: 4.5 stars.This book was amazing! The characters were exciting and well developed. The romance aspect was very fun and the story was riveting. I have no idea how Ms. Duran has successfully written a fully developed world and story all in one book, but she did and I loved every pa...

review 1: Meredith Duran, where have you been all my life? Or more properly, where have I been? I picked this up on a mention by Rose Lerner, another historical author I recently discovered (go read her!). It's one of the most intelligent historical romances I've read.I'll admit upfront th...

review 1: This one just didn't do it for me. It rambled way too much, was confusing, and kept the reader in the dark for too long. I felt like it was trying to be smart, sophisticated, and witty, but fell far short of this lofty goal. Instead it was confusing, and well, rambling. The copy ...

review 1: Meredith Duran has been on my to-read historical romance authors for quite a while so I picked up Your Wicked Heart as an e-cheapie, the prequel for her new Rules for the Reckless series.Unfortunately I was a bit underwhelmed, I was expecting a bit more substance, this seeming a ...

review 1: You will never get a typical historical romance from Ms. Duran and this gem was no exception. At times I had tears in my eyes as we uncover the truth of what occurred with Nora and Adrian 7 years ago. I just wish the ending could have been drawn out a bit to watch Nora and Adrian...

review 1: I enjoyed this one. A wee bit melodramatic and flowery in places, and repetitive in others. But I thought it did a good job of depicting the differences in class, as well as the battle between mind and heart.The heroine's struggle is learning to trust her heart, and trust in her ...

review 1: This was a fun, quick read that put me in mind of "My Fair Lady." Luckily, the lady in question was a kidnapped earl's daughter and had an identical twin sister, so her path into society wasn't so tough. The heroine is kind of a brat throughout most of the story, and I think she ...

review 1: This is one of those books where, after you read it, you think to yourself: "I don't know if I can be friends with someone who doesn't love this book." To say I loved this book would be a gross understatement. I don't know if it's because I've been in a deep, persistent reading f...

review 1: Meredith Duran is quickly excelling to the top of my 'favorite author' list, where my snobbish taste only allows few to reside. This is the 2nd story I've read of hers and equally enjoyed to the point of not being able to put it down! My only complaint is the cover of this book. ...

review 1: This book was so damn romantic, it made me sigh wistfully. Out loud. More than once. Seriously, I have never sighed wistfully in my entire life. I didn't know that sighing wistfully was something people could actually do outside of novels and films. But it is. Because I did...

review 1: 2.5 stars.Written on your Skin was a rather difficult book for me to rate. And that is because when I started reading it I really enjoyed myself but after a point the whole story just dragged on and on, not to mention all those huge plot holes.There was so much potential in this ...

review 1: I liked it. There was a lovely slow progression toward trust and love. The problem is that most of the time, it was too slow. Parts of the book felt interminable. I seriously wondered if the book would ever get to its conclusion and found myself looking at the percentage I wa...

review 1: Also irgendwie wusste ich von Anfang an nicht, was ich von diesem Buch halten soll und dieses Gefühl hat sich leider auch durch das ganze Buch durchgezogen. Einerseits hat mir die sprachliche Gewalt und die Formulierungen der Autorin sehr gut gefallen, auf der anderen Seite war i...
