As usual, I regret that I didn’t review this sooner. My memories of this book are fuzzier than I’d like, but at least I took notes while reading. I’ll do the best I can.Beth Ackerley used to be an elderly woman’s companion until the woman died and left everything to her. Now Beth is a wealthy but lo...

I created a shelf "maybe later", just because of this book. This book is so well-loved, has so many wonderful reviews and I know so many people who read it and absolutely loved it. I combed through all the positive reviews and decided to read this book after much deliberation (The book was staggerin...

I'm a re-reader. When I give a book 5 stars, it means re-reading it is not an option - it's a demand. Because it's that good. This little feature is for whenever I re-read, to let you guys know if I still felt the book was as good as I thought before! The Madness of Lord Ian MacKenzie is one of the...

In fact, I would even call it a whim-- one that probably should have been ignored. For now, let's ignore the fact that ...

Ok, so I get why Ian Mackenzie is such an interesting character, I was really interested in how he acted and his reactions, I wanted to know more. He was the only thing that made me go on reading. Unfortunately it wasn't enough. I didn't like everything else that was happening in the book, I di...

I hardly read any historical novels, much less post-regency romance, and a hero with Asperger's Syndrome in 1881 may very well be a cliche in this genre (is it?) but I found the idea intriguing. Add to the equation an heiress widow with humble beginnings and this was pretty much a sure thing for the...

I've read probably about eleventy bajillion historical romance novels. And I usually like them no matter the repetitive, cliched, plot. So, when I try a new adult novel and am completely let down, I go back to my comfort genre. Where 75% of the time I'm going to get a 3 star read. And that's pretty ...
