Review: Morgan and Archer by Grace Burrowes
This was a quick but enjoyable novella. It also proves that maybe I was too quick to judge an author over one story.

Movie Review: Pride and Prejudice and Zombies
Stunning, exciting and slightly gross but definitely enjoyable. I read Pride and Prejudice and Zombies when it first came out and I wasn’t impressed but even at that time I kept thinking it would do much better visually and I was excited about the immediate rumors that it would be made into a movie.
Audiobook Review: Alone with Mr. Darcy by Abigail Reynolds
This started out very promising and I liked the Darcy/Elizabeth scenes but some of the changes didn’t always make sense and there was a lot of nonsensical misunderstandings keeping Darcy and Elizabeth apart.
Audiobook Review: The Spring Bride by Anne Gracie
I have enjoyed this series, but I found it hard to connect with Jane. She is considered the true beauty of the group but unlike her sister or her parents, she didn’t want love. She wanted security. She came off very mercenary and a bit stupid.
Review: An Affair Downstairs by Sherri Browning
I got tired of Alice’s naive girlish nonsense right away. Her decision to seduce Logan was completely selfish and not thought out. She was self-centered and reminded me of a more likable Lydia Bennett (Pride and Prejudice). She is playful and sweet. It was nice that she engaged Logan and was able to draw him out of his solitary life. She is too young and inexperienced to take into account the consequences that sleeping with Logan would bring for both her and Logan.
Review: In Pursuit of Miriam by Helen A. Grant
This was a first published novel for Helen Grant. It had a good outline but what this story lack was embellishment. I would have enjoyed reading more conversations and interactions between Miriam and Vincent instead the very short conversations or the general references to “we talked.” Even though Vincent wanted to marry Miriam as a […]
Review: Once Upon a Christmas Kiss by Manda Collins
This was an enjoyable novella which gives us a glimpse of a historical holiday house party, but also gives us enough intrigue and romance to keep it interesting. This is a companion novella to the Wicked Widows series since it makes reference to the new Duke of Ormond, but can certainly be read as a […]
Audiobook Review: Why Lords Lose their Hearts by Manda Collins
This was the last book in the Wicked Widows trilogy. Although this was the only book in the series that I read, I had no problem following the story. I just had a hard time enjoying this since the characters were so stiff and formal and I never felt any real connection with them.
Review: The Winter Bride by Anne Gracie
In Autumn Bride, we met Abigail and her sister, Jane, who have joined with their new sisters of the heart, Damaris and Daisy. It was Daisy who originally contacted Abigail to help Jane and Damaris escape the brothel where the girls had been sold to after being drugged and kidnapped. It is Abigail who first […]
Review: Less Than a Gentleman by Kerrelyn Sparks
In this never-before-published historical romance, New York Times bestselling author Kerrelyn Sparks returns to the 18th century, where the fight for freedom is as dangerous as the fight for love. Between searching for the missing Munro sisters and South Carolina being all but lost to the British, Captain Matthais Thomas has more important things to […]
