This comes close to visually representing how I felt reading this. I'll let you soak that in for a sec. What stupid children they had been, to cause each other such pain and then to hold on to their wounds so fiercely. The book page count for this claims it is 341 pgs, my friends, I blew t...
A History Nut's Romantic State of Mind
I struggle with my finally rating. I have to think about it. I have to say something. This isn't and probably never will be a review of a book, but rather a self-reflection.There are a few things that I did not quite appreciate. I am not certain that the pull between Leo and Bryony (I hate this name...

Me habría gustado (a pesar de que pasa esa palabra que empieza con cuer y termina con -nos) si la autora no hubiese puesto tantas escenas (Alerta: Temas adultos) de sexo con gente dormida: primero el marido la despierta con sexo, consciente de que ella está enojada con él, aunque el no sepa porqué--...

This could have been a five star book--I love Sherry Thomas--but it took the heroine too long to get over her butt-hurt feelings. She went into the marriage with butt-hurt feelings and she had to get herself and the hero practically killed to figure things out. But such is the way of romance.

This is my second book by this author after Private Arrangements and I think Sherry Thomas’s historical novels are quite different from others, because the theme lies in between historical and contemporary. Like here in this story, the heroin is a doctor who moved around the world without giving any...

When I saw that this book, like Meredith Duran's excellent Duke of Shadows, takes place partially in British India (modern Pakistan), I said "sign me up!" Unfortunately, this is not an excellent book. Bryony Asquith and Leo Marsden grew up on neighboring estates and then found individual acclaim (...

4+ star read. Beautiful and unusual writing/story. Very emotional (bordering on over-the-top but I still strongly recommend reading it).

I wasn't quite sure what to expect from Not Quite a Husband, with its typical historical romance cover, but I'd seen Sherry Thomas's name pop up in "Top Ten" lists all over the blogosphere these past few days and couldn't resist giving her novels a shot. Needless to say, I was pleasantly surprised. ...
