review 1: This book's adventure was a particularly good yarn. More adventure, more moving parts (it read better the second time when I had a firmer grasp of who was doing what for whom). Overall a great read, but it did come at the cost of the main characters. Alex is woefully underdevelop...

review 1: Fan favourite and very bad poet, Augustus Whittlesby gets his own chance at romance in this ninth installment of the alternate history series. He is matched with the American widow Emma Morris Delagardie. Friends with Napoleon's stepdaughter, Emma has access to the highest eche...

review 1: Genre: Regency RomanceI liked the conceit of this novel, that the overly innocent and romantic (and rather neglected) Lady Charlotte Landsdowne formed a tendre for the unexpected Robert, Duke of Dovedale as a child when he was very kind to her during the uproar of her father's de...

review 1: I discovered earlier this summer that I had not yet read the 10th book in Lauren Willig's Pink Carnation series, which surprisingly had been published last summer. When I realized that the main character in this book was Ms. Gwen, the Pink Carnation's second-in-command, I raced t...

review 1: This one is just laugh out loud funny. It is more fittingly placed at the same time as Night Jasmine as the events are centered around the Christmas house party at Girdlings. However, this one is told from the point of view of two minor characters in that book - Arabella Dempsey ...
