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 Gentleman Ought to Know – Jane Ashford
Ironically, I have the first book in this series on my TBR list! It felt like I was missing a little bit of history while reading A Gentleman Ought to Know, so that explains it. I hadn’t known it was part of a series when I requested it from NetGalley. I am leaving this reviewContinueContinue reading “A Gentleman Ought to Know – Jane Ashford”
How to Court a Covert Lady – Jenny Hartwell
Thanks, NetGalley and Dragonblade Publishing for the gifted copy of How to Court a Covert Lady. I am leaving this review voluntarily. Unfortunately, I’m giving this novel two out of five stars. Miss Pippa Chester has dreams beyond knitting and sewing like the typical society miss. She reads, writes, and fences at the Ladies CovertContinueContinue reading “How to Court a Covert Lady – Jenny Hartwell”
A Tenuous Betrothal – Jen Geigle Johnson
You know what I haven’t done in a while? Written a blog post! Apologies to all two of my faithful readers who have been eagerly awaiting my next review of a very niche genre (that’s a joke, you may laugh). Onward! You know I’ve been sucked into the historical romance genre, and I’m quite enjoyingContinueContinue reading “A Tenuous Betrothal – Jen Geigle Johnson”
Worth Fighting For – Matilda Madison
I wish I knew that Worth Fighting For was the second in a series, but it didn’t hurt the book at all for me. I believe the first book is Worth Waiting For. I found Worth Fighting For to be engaging, if formulaic, and I give it four out of five stars. Catherine, the widowedContinueContinue reading “Worth Fighting For – Matilda Madison”
The Proposition – Madeleine Roux
Thanks, NetGalley, for the ARC of The Proposition by Madeleine Roux in exchange for an honest review. While not the most sensible of books, it was entertaining and had a decent romantic plot. I give this novel three out of five stars. Clemency Fry has always forsworn marriage, following the advice of a feminist authorContinueContinue reading “The Proposition – Madeleine Roux”
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”
Hall of Mirrors – Roxanne Lalande
Hall of Mirrors takes place in the court of Versailles in the reign of King Louis. Lady-in-Waiting Mathilde and her lover Robin find a skeleton in the woods while adventuring, along with a strange pendant, and Mathilde is determined to find out why. When Robin’s family becomes implicated, Mathilde turns to her friend Catherine, whoContinueContinue reading “Hall of Mirrors – Roxanne Lalande”
Miss Wetherham’s Wedding – Linore Rose Burkard
My thanks to Linore Rose Burkard for sending me an ARC of her latest release, Miss Wetherham’s Wedding. As you know, I am more inclined to read historical mysteries, but my bread and butter is romantic historical mysteries, so I enjoy the occasional bit of romance as well. I think Miss Wetherham’s Wedding is setContinueContinue reading “Miss Wetherham’s Wedding – Linore Rose Burkard”
