Review: Master of Crows by Grace Draven

November 19, 2014 by Mandi 3 Comments

Master of Crowd by Grace Draven Released: July 13, 2009 Fantasy Romance Amber Quill Press Reviewed by Mandi Favorite Quote: "You have done an unwise thing, Martise of Asher," he said softly. "You've caught my interest." This book has been recommended by many (including Has and Angela - and someone on my blog who I can't remember, sorry!) I recently finished Dreamer's Pool by Juliet Marillier (and loved) so I was in the mood for another fantasy book. Let me warn and say - the first Continue Reading

Review: The Pirate’s Secret Baby by Darlene Marshall

March 19, 2014 by Mandi 1 Comment

The Pirate's Secret Baby by Darlene Marshall Released: March 2, 2014 Historical Romance Amber Quill Press Reviewed by Mandi I've enjoyed Darlene Marshall's books in the past and she does a nice job with The Pirate's Secret Baby. The baby is actually eight year old Mattie, whose mother has recently died. Her governess, Lydia tracks down Mattie's father, Robert St. Armand, the captain of the Prodigal Son and known pirate. Robert has been with many (and I mean many) women, so it's a shock Continue Reading

June 13, 2012 by Mandi 9 Comments

Castaway Dreams by Darlene Marshall Historical Romance May 6, 2012 Amber Quill Press Reviewed by Mandi “Alexander, if you feel this way every time you kiss me, it is going to be a long and uncomfortable voyage. There is no going back, not after last night! That sheep has already left the barn!” “Horse. That horse has left the barn, Daphne.” She grabbed him by the lapels of his coat. “This is no time to be discussing the habits of livestock! Kiss me!” So he did. Daphne Farnham Continue Reading

Review: Sea Change by Darlene Marshall

July 2, 2011 by Mandi 4 Comments

Sea Change by Darlene Marshall Historical Romance June 13, 2011 Paperback Amber Quill Press Reviewed by Mandi I read The Bride and The Buccaneer last year and discovered how witty and fun Darlene Marshall stories can be. While Sea Change has the same wit and warmth as her previous book, the romance fell a tad short for me. Charlotte Alcott needs to get to Jamaica to live with her godfather now that her father has passed away. Her father was a physician and Charlotte learned many Continue Reading

February 1, 2010 by Mandi 18 Comments

He has to help her find the fabled pirate treasure Garvey's Gold, then he can wring her dainty neck. Sophia has no intention of sharing anything with anyone. She will have all of Garvey's Gold, no matter how much Jack's lean-muscled body makes her want to get to know him just a little bit better before she gets rid of him. As the two adversaries squabble their way across Territorial Continue Reading
