Review: Something Fabulous by Alexis Hall
Something Fabulous by Alexis HallPublished on January 25, 2022 by MontlakeHistorical Romance Review by Kate Something Fabulous is a sheer delight of a romance novel.

Review: After Dark with the Duke by Julie Anne Long
After Dark with the Duke by Julie Anne LongThe Palace of Rogues #4Historical RomanceNovember 30, 2021, by AvonARC Review by Angela The fourth book in The Palace of Rogues series features an opposites attract, age-gap romance that has to be one of my favorite books by this author to date.

Review: The Perks of Loving a Wallflower by Erica Ridley
The Perks of Loving a Wallflower by Erica Ridley The Wild Wynchesters #2 Historical Romance October 26, 2021 by Forever Reviewed by Kate The Perks of Loving a Wallflower is a lovely historical romance with two female main characters.

I would recommend The Duke Heist, however, and reading it first may give the reader some additional context which could make this Continue Reading

The Devil's Own Duke by Lenora BellWallflowers vs. Rogues #2Historical Romance09/28/2021 by AvonARC Review by Angela The second book in the Wallflowers vs. Rogues series by Lenora Bell, reminded me quite a bit of the first. A heroine who wants to do her own thing versus be stuck in a loveless marriage of convenience, a hero who is not a titled gentleman, and a story that was pretty low angst given the storyline. Henrietta (Hetty) needs to marry her father off so he can father an heir. Continue Reading

The Brightest Star in Paris by Diana BillerHistorical RomanceOctober 12, 2021, by St, Martin's ARC Review by Angela I am a big fan of historical romance when it's mixed with some mystery and suspense, I'm an even bigger fan of historical romances with mysteries when they have some gothic, ghostly elements. I'm happy to report that The Brightest Star in Paris gave me all that and more. This is a follow-up to the very popular The Widow of Rose House. If you enjoyed the love story Continue Reading
