Loud and Clear

Loud and Clear (2016) Aidan Wayne Let me state first that the cover may be innocuous, but it also gives you completely the wrong idea about the book. There are no car chases are action scenes, it’s just that one character is a cab driver in the city. Jaxon may be a high school drop […]

A Gentleman’s Position

A Gentleman’s Position (2016) K.J. Charles (Society of Gentlemen) Set in London in 1820 It’s not that this is a bad story, it’s just that I really don’t care that much for Richard, so it’s difficult for me to care about him having a HEA. David Cyprian I do like, but I really don’t understand […]

A Gentleman’s Position

A Gentleman’s Position (2016) KJ Charles (Society of Gentlemen) Set in London in 1820 I am, apparently, reading this series backwards.

Unveiled

Unveiled (2011) Courtney Milan Set in Somerset, August 1837 I started this and put it back down several times, because I was unsure about the premise. But I eventually got through the first chapter, and fell right into the story. Margaret Dalrymple lost everything to Ash Turner–her home, her title, her legitimacy. So when she […]
