Review: Not Wicked Enough by Carolyn Jewel

Review: Not Wicked Enough by Carolyn Jewel

Thoughts like hers were not appropriate for a lady. Her father had once told her she’d been born wicked, and she suspected he was right. What proper lady, never married, took a lover, regretted nothing, and dreamed of taking another? If you enjoy Historical Romances featuring heroines who are not shy, virginal misses, then this [...]

A Private Gentleman - Heidi Cullinan

Review – A Private Gentleman by Heidi Cullinan

This is just how I like my M/M books – a strong love story where mindless sex isn’t the focus of the book or thrown in every few pages. Don’t get me wrong – I do love some mindless sex from time to time – but I’ll take a book full of  characters with depth, [...]

Lord and Lady Spy

Review: Lord and Lady Spy by Shana Galen

Lord and Lady Spy by Shana Galen was described to me as a historical Mr. and Mrs. Smith.  Since the movie was pretty darn entertaining I decided to find out if the book was on the same level as the movie.  What I got was a fun and light-hearted book that had moments where it [...]

Review: My Wicked Little Lies by Victoria Alexander

Review: My Wicked Little Lies by Victoria Alexander

I thought this premise of My Wicked Little Lies was absolutely marvelous. It’s just so rare to see something like it! The hero and heroine are already married when the story begins—and they’re happy to boot. The heroine, Evelyn, was a spy before her marriage—although she hasn’t admitted that to her husband. She plans to [...]

Season for Temptation

Review: Season for Temptation by Theresa Romain

I have to admit defeat and give up on this one. I haven’t enjoyed it and am tired of struggling to become interested. I gave it a good go and made it to page 176, but I don’t think it’s going to get any better. The hero, James, comes to visit his fiancée, Louisa, and [...]
