I was approved pretty late to get the ARC of Unladylike Lessons in Love by Amita Murray, so I apologize for getting this out past the publication date. However, this review includes good news on all fronts so I hope she and the publishers will forgive me! I was gifted a copy of this bookContinueContinue reading “Unladylike Lessons in Love – Amita Murray”

The Countess – Sophie Jordan
If the first two of my most recent NetGalley romances (A Gentleman Ought to Know and How to Court a Covert Lady) made me want to try writing my own to do better, this one makes me happy to sit back and be a reader. The synopsis immediately grabbed my attention, and I know SophieContinueContinue reading “The Countess – Sophie Jordan”
A Slave to Kings – Dodie Bishop
In the third book in the Silence and Shaows series, Dodie Bishop once again brings the drama and the heat with Raphael and Susannah Rossi. I’ve really been enjoying this series, and I hope this isn’t the last novel. I think it wrapped things up with Sam, but I’m hoping Bishop will continue the seriesContinueContinue reading “A Slave to Kings – Dodie Bishop”
A Certain Darkness – Anna Lee Huber
Thanks, NetGalley and Kensington Books for the advanced copy of A Certain Darkness by Anna Lee Huber! As the newest book in the Verity Kent series, I was ready to get my hands on it. I’ve been more or less on the fence about Verity but, after this book, have decided that I want toContinueContinue reading “A Certain Darkness – Anna Lee Huber”
In Place of Fear – Catriona McPherson
You may know Catriona McPherson’s name from her Dandy Gilver mystery series (entertaining and comical with excellent plots; highly recommend), as did I before reading In Place of Fear. Now I have a totally different novel and heroine to attribute to her, and they were just as excellent. As far as a standalone mystery goes,ContinueContinue reading “In Place of Fear – Catriona McPherson”
The Letter from Briarton Park – Sarah E Ladd
Sarah E Ladd is not an inexperienced author; she’s got three trilogies under her belt so it’s not surprising that I enjoyed reading The Letter from Briarton Park. It was romantic, suspenseful, and ended happily, which I always appreciate. I give it four out of five stars. Cassandra Hale has just discovered a mysterious letterContinueContinue reading “The Letter from Briarton Park – Sarah E Ladd”
Kingscastle – Sophia Holloway
3/5 Stars Kingscastle by Sophia Holloway is a standalone romance novel, but I found it engaging and it wrapped up satisfactorily for me. I chose this novel off of NetGalley, and thought, by the description, that it might fit into the romantic suspense genre rather than romance. I feel that it wasn’t very suspenseful, butContinueContinue reading “Kingscastle – Sophia Holloway”
The Ghost of Glendale – Natalie Kleinman
I initially picked up The Ghost of Glendale from NetGalley as I was intrigued by a ghost aspect in addition to a romance plot. Despite its 4-star average, I’d give this novel a three out of five-star rating, and that’s being a bit generous. I received a free copy of this book in return forContinueContinue reading “The Ghost of Glendale – Natalie Kleinman”
A Deadly Endowment – Alyssa Maxwell
In the latest installment of the Lady and Lady’s Maid mystery series by Alyssa Maxwell, Lady Phoebe Renshaw and her maid Eva Huntford are enthusiastic about opening the Renshaw family estate for tours. However, the rest of the Renshaw family has some misgivings, which are soon realized beyond their expectations when a tour guest isContinueContinue reading “A Deadly Endowment – Alyssa Maxwell”

Verity and Sidney are finally making a 5-year overdue trip to see Verity’s family, all of whom have been hearing her mother sayContinueContinue reading “Murder Most Fair – Anna Lee Huber”
