There is much about this book that I really, really liked: 1. The gender-flip of the "scarred hero" trope. Catriona has been scarred/disfigured in a terrible carriage accident and now must learn how to get along without beauty, which had been her defining feature. Physical allure is more important t...
This hit all the right spots with me. The beauty and the beast like story where we have the heroine and not the hero badly scarred. Her face now a mess, she hides behind a veil and the world. And she is confronted with the fact that she really just wasn't a very nice person and everyone just knew he...
Full review at Tempting ReadsCatriona was a hot mess. She whined, she complained, she threw fits. How could her life have gone so down hill; what would she do with herself now that she was no longer pretty! With each page turn, I wanted to slap her so hard and say "Bitch please!" I haven't bee...
Ah Highlanders... yep, you know I jumped at a chance to read this one. However, although he was technically a highlander, no kilts to be had. No checking to see what was worn underneath one. *sigh* Still, I was in the mood for a historical romance so on I read.I have to admit I had several problems ...

This was more than just a romance and after a little bit of a rocky start I found myself enjoying this.What set The Lass Wore B...
ARC courtesy of Edelweiss and Avon.Mild spoilers ahead. Main characters: Mark Thorburn Catriona CameronWhat I Liked: I loved the way Ms. Ranney redeemed Catriona. If you read A Scandalous Scot you would have hated her. She was spoiled, self-absorbed, vain, arrogant, a liar and a woman who would hav...
I have to give Karen Ranney a lot of credit for choosing to write an entire romance based upon a character who was absolutely abhorrent in her first appearances within the series. Catronia Cameron was the little sister to the leading lady of last year’s A Scandalous Scot and I remember writing in a...
I think Karen Ranney's [b:Till Next We Meet|118593|Till Next We Meet |Karen Ranney|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1348675346s/118593.jpg|114168] is one of the sweetest angsty HRs I've ever read, so I was quite pleased to get an advance review copy of The Lass Wore Black. It is totally angsty, but not ...
Okay, I'll just write down some random thoughts here and review it later. The Lass Wore Black was a very good historical romance read. In the past, I had read many funny Historical Romance novels, such as Julia Quinn's. But The Lass Wore Black, despite its very humorous moments, was more sincere:A g...
