This book was recced to me by a fellow romance reader on Twitter and while I can't say it was the best recommendation I've ever received, it was certainly a decent rec. I enjoyed the book even though I didn't much like most of the characters. That's odd for me because I'm pretty much a charact...

The writing was good, but not brilliant. It was a more or less standard historical romance. It tried for more structure with including flashbacks into the past when the couple met first (both having been married at that time) and then back in the present both having lost their partner. There wer...

According to Goodreads this is my second reading of Scandal by Carolyn Jewel. Must have been just as good the second time around as the first. I totally enjoyed it. Ms Jewel has delivered a well written book. The characters are developed and make this story into a wonderful read. There is plenty of ...

The book was full of Jewels own poems, which were nice, but her story was poorly written. Her life is interesting, but told in this book was boring. You can skip this book and wait for the Lifetime movie.

OOOH! An angsty-historical. This was right up my alley. I like the idea of a lot of new-adult books a la extreme angst, that are so popular right now, but often times they drive me crazy with poor writing and terrible characters. I always get sucked into reading them because I love a tortured hero a...

What a treat! I don't often come across romance anthologies with such a high, consistent level of quality. The stories are all connected, taking place in a village called Hopewell-on-Lyft in Nottinghamshire, England, and much of the action takes place in the local pub called "The Duke's Arms". Ther...

I stopped reading after harsh walks in on Carson and nikodemius doing it until then I was continuing because i wanted to finish this book I don't like not finishing books but then that scene weirded me out and made me realize that this book includes a menage a trois which isn't what I read. The book...
