Beyond Strange New Words

Good ol' historical romance at its best with only the bearable cliches. ;) Also, I liked that the genre-typical differences and misunderstandings didn't drag through the book but got resolved pretty fast, hence, bearable cliches.
A History Nut's Romantic State of Mind
A perfectly ok time-pass. I think it is more erotica than historical. There is no relationship whatsoever to speak of, which is not a problem if one is looking for heat in a novel. I rarely have luck with fallen women as heroines. And this one is no exception. The hero andrew was a widower and punis...

"An innocent lady’s education could be a gentleman’s wicked seduction.Lysandra Keates is running out of options.

Another freebie. I tend to skim right over anachronisms if I am entertained enough, so it's bad news if I get pulled out of a story repeatedly. This was carelessly plotted, and the sex was annoying. Why the hell would you contrive a traditional type HEA for 'erotica' about a middle-class courtesan...

Overall, a good read. I'm a little disappointed with the HEA, but understand that is the norm for these books. I would have preferred if their arrangement continued indefinitely.

Being woman born into the lower ranks of society with no job and without prospects of a job lead to desperate acts.Lysandra Keats has run out of options. She approaches Vivien Mannin...

While taking into account that this book is an erotica novel, I really wasn’t expecting much from it other than a lot of hot and steamy sex scenes. I must say, I was pleasantly surprised. While this story was undoubtedly hot and steamy, there was also a lovely love story to enjoy as well. I hate ...
