This was highly recommended in several places, so I picked it up. It's the first book I've read by this author. I did enjoy it. It was well written. The characters were fallible, but very likeable and showed growth. Their relationship seemed believable. The only thing I did not enjoy was the p...

I love the pretty dresses that grace the covers of many historical romances. I also hate them, because every book tends to look the same. When I spotted this in Samhain's New Releases section, the author's name sounded familiar, but I couldn't remember whether I'd heard bad things or good things. Th...

There were things I liked and things I didn’t like. I’ll begin with what I did like.Solomon. He is one of my favorite characters ever.

There were too many things left unfinished, unnecessary and unexplained. It also had way too many of those dreaded misunderstandi...

This was a well written romance, and with two characters that were likeable and real. I read this whole book in a couple hours, which is a good indicator of how well it drew me in and kept me interested.

Very interesting and enjoyable book. Super achievement for a debut novel! (I recently read the debut novels of Loretta Chase and Judith Ivory/Cuevas and this book was much, much better than those.)

I randomly came across this book on Goodreads, read the summary and was mildly intrigued. Then - I saw the cover, complete with a blurb from Lauren Willig. That was enough to make me immediately obtain and read it. The social status of Penelope Brown, our heroine, is a difficult one. Her family beca...
