This was a very poorly written book, with an incredible, inconceivably perfect Mary Sue of a character, with inexplicable insta-love. It is categorized under such genres as "Historical Romance," "Mystery Thriller." Both, all, really, would be wrong. I would like to suggest another genre under which ...
Interesting Regency story with engaging characters. I can see where the author might be planning sequels, and there's room for more mysteries in the future featuring secondary characters and the return of the primary characters.The only reason I didn't shelve this on the "Romance" shelf is because t...
**Find this and other reviews at The Demon Librarian book blog**I cut my reading teeth on historical romances. I can still remember the first time my mom put a Victoria Holt book into my hands, and later, when my older sister and I discovered the joys of Georgette Heyer. To this day, I've got a soft...

She used to live in the slum, daughter of a whore, worked as a chimney sweep but was saved by a nice lady and ra...
The Emperor’s Conspiracy is a fast moving story heavy on the intrigue and history- with a splash of romantic feeling between Charlotte and Edward. It’s nicely intertwined with the twisty plot that doesn’t neatly fold itself into a particular genre, but straddles several – historical fiction, mystery...
Michelle Diener is a fellow member of the Romance Writers of Australia and an awesome person to lunch with. She's clever, fun and generous. At this point, you're probably questioning whether my review can be unbiased. I'm thinking the best way to answer that is to walk you through my reaction to The...
For this review and more visit my blog*I was provided with a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review* The emperor’s Conspiracy took me quite by surprise; it was not what I thought it would be at all. I was expecting a normal historical windswept romance (of which I am a fan) instead...
