There are a lot of thoughts swirling around in my head. First, I caught this book as a BR - I was having trouble bringing myself to read it otherwise for some reason so it was just the push I needed. I'll probably recycle some thoughts from that forum as well as borrow upon others as a result. Also,...

This is my first book by Meredith Duran and I am very glad to have found her. Ms. Duran writing is little different then a lot of the Historical Romance books I read. They are focused more on the drama around them instead of just focus on the Heroine and Hero. Also there was a break in the story whe...

It started out okay but it quickly turned strange and the narrative lacked direction. It was a good concept with terrible writing.

Ok...wow. This is now one of my all time favorite books. I went back and re-read it again after reading it, which is always a sign I loved the book, but honestly I could read it again and again.

This was a pretty dark novel. Emma is placed from one bad situation after another. I liked her. She's a strong free thinking individual but not a total rebel. She struggles to reconcile herself as not being solidly in any world. Unfortunately, it worsens in the second half of the novel and become...

Meredith Duran and I are just not meant to be. While she seems to be a skilled writer, I never know what her characters are on about. I liked the Duke of Shadows slightly better than the other one by her that I’ve read but still I think Ms Duran and I will just have to start seeing other people. It’...

The first section in India is (surprisingly) awesome; the bits back in London get a bit muddy. Still. This is by far the least dodgy romance novel I've ever read that attempts to deal with colonialism in India. (Admittedly, that's neither a very high bar nor a very large sample size, due to the afor...
