Review: The Poetics of Passion by Delphine Ross

July 27, 2023 by Angela 1 Comment

The Poetics of Passion by Delphine RossHistorical RomanceJuly 25, 2023- Muse PublicationsARC Review by Angela This is a very different historical romance than I've read in a long while. Mainly because these are two regular people, struggling with everyday things like how to make enough money to afford food, rent, and medical care for their families. The main protagonists are an artist and an author, both supporting their families for various reasons. The female main character is Continue Reading

How to Tame a Wild Rogue by Julie Anne LongThe Palace of Rogues #6Historical RomanceJuly 25, 2023- AvonARC Review by Angela Ahhhh, I loved this book. So much. Apparently, I'm a sucker for morally grey, charming heroes, and competent yet emotionally bruised heroines in historical romance. How to Tame a Wild Rogue, the latest installment in The Palace of Rogues series introduces Lady Daphne Worth, a woman fast running out of options, and Lorcan St. Leger a man who pulled himself out Continue Reading

June 27, 2023 by Melanie Leave a Comment

The Notorious Lord Knightly by Lorraine HeathThe Chessmen: Masters of Seduction #2Historical RomanceJune 27, 2023- Avon Review by Melanie I am a sucker for a second chance romance and for a revenge plot done well and Lorraine Heath’s newest achieves one of those very well and the other one to varying degrees of success.  The FMC of the book, Miss Regina Leyland, has forever lived her life on the outskirts of the English nobility. Born as a result of the extramarital love affair Continue Reading

The Duchess Takes a Husband by Harper St. GeorgeHistorical RomanceMay 23, 2023 by Berkley Review by Melanie The Duchess Takes a Husband, which, I’m guessing is the fourth and final book in The Gilded Age Heiresses series, features the much-anticipated story of Camille, the widowed Duchess of Hereford. The first book in the series, The Heiress Gets a Duke, actually opens with the engagement party of Camille and the Duke of Hereford and it’s made immediately clear that this is nothing Continue Reading

Hotel of Secrets by Diana BillerHistorical RomanceMarch 28, 2023- St. Martin'sARC Review by Angela I really like this author's words, and how she weaves history, romance, and mystery together seamlessly. Hotel of Secrets is set in Vienna in 1877 and primarily takes place in Hotel Wallner. The Wallner family consists of strong women, who have run the hotel for decades, always only having one daughter, never marrying, and living life on their terms. But, it's also interwoven with the Continue Reading
