I don't have anything bad to say about this other than it really didn't get me excited. It was actually a good story and the build up was well done. The big question, do I try the next one in this series? (I picked it up along the way, probably one of Heather's deals)

Do you love your historical romances with smart heroines? Do you love your historical romances with a hero who actually realizes that there is no way he's going to be as smart as the heroine on his best day?

A History Nut's Romantic State of Mind
It's one of those books that give you mixed feelings.....it's on the way to being good but well not so much.....I do not like the heroine. I just do not care for a heroin who is "ruined because she was young and naive". I almost want to slap these heroins for their stupidity (at least from my point ...
Housewife Blues and Chihuahua Stories

The conflict, while slightly convoluted, wasn't a simple one, and wasn't one that could have been solved by sitting everyone in a room and making them talk to each other. The hero is incredibly nice and kind and still very human, and the heroine is smart and strong and...

Welp, I think this is where I give up on Ms. Milan's books. She's a great writer, don't get me wrong, but her stories are just not my cup o' tea. The plotline is creative but too busy and convoluted and the romance suffers for it. The chemistry between the H and h felt tepid at best. I like my HRs w...

I got on a bit of a historical romance kick this weekend and decided to finally go back to this series. I read the prequel novella, The Governess Affair, last year. This book takes place a generation later with the son of the now dead evil duke from the novella. Robert has spent his entire life tr...

The beginning was looking up, but then it went downhill. WAY downhill. At least there wasn't any rape.
