This book left me feeling...confused I guess. Too much whimsy for a serious historical yet not really funny. Not light either. The h - mid-late 20s, spinster - lives with her father in this tiny seaside town. It's become a haven for society's female misfits. Her father is an inventor, and being th...

"In recent years, Spindle Cove had become the seaside destination of choice for a certain type of well-bred young lady: the sort no one knew what to do with. They included the sickly, the scandalous, and the painfully shy; young wives disenchanted with matrimony, and young girls too enchanted with t...

Meh.... 2.5? Is this an unpopular opinion? Could be my timing and attitude right now, but it was just a bit of a miss for me. I found this book amusing and light-hearted, a little slow and a little annoying. -Bram felt like he was kind of traditional, yet accepts that Susanna has all these hidden ta...

A Night to Surrender The Characters: Susanna FinchVictor “Bram” Bramwell The Story: It took me seemingly forever to read it but I really did like the story. I suppose I can chalk it up to a reading funk. Bram and Susanna ticked me, made me laugh and cry and I’m so happy with the way things ended f...

The first half was thoroughly entertaining! While I read this all in a muddle - second book first, fourth second and then finally the first book- it's a classic me thing to do- who cares in which order the author written them? not me at least.. -I do have to admit I probably would have enjoyed the o...

Brace yourselves: this is a rave review for the Spindle Cove series by Tessa Dare. I actually read them out of order because I got A Week to Be Wicked when it was on sale. And from there, I knew I'd have to read all the rest. It's not that they don't stand alone, but there are enough hints at the...

Some excellent moments overshadowed by some moments where the characters and situations were a bit too obvious or the attitudes just a little too modern for my taste. Also the heroine seems too willing to give up her life for the hero. Also the boundary ignoring of the hero was a bit annoying. St...
