Review: The Paris Apartment by Kelly Bowen

April 20, 2021 by Angela 1 Comment

The Paris Apartment by Kelly BowenHistorical FictionApril 20, 2021, by ForeverARCReview by Angela I wasn't sure what to expect when I opened this book for the first time on my Kindle. I've read and enjoyed many of this author's historical romances, but this title is more of a historical fiction book, wrapped in a mystery, containing elements of extreme danger and desperation, all set against the Nazi invasion of France. That's a lot, I know. And to be honest I was hesitant going in because Continue Reading

Turns out King, the hero of Night of the Scoundrel, was the mysterious bad guy smuggler from the third book in the series, A Rogue by Night. And he is exactly the kind of sexy, dangerous, Continue Reading

September 24, 2018 by Angela 1 Comment

Happy Monday! What I read this week: Last Night with the Earl by Kelly Bowen The Devils of Dover #2 Historical Romance September 25, 2018 by Avon Favorite Quote: "Save your shiny armor and white horse for something better than my sensibilities."

A Duke to Remember by Kelly Bowen (A Season for Scandal #2) Historical Romance Released: Jully 26, 2016 Forever Reviewed by May “I mix up my words,” he said suddenly. There. He was honest about that. Her flapping stopped, and she peered at him, a faint crease in her forehead. “So?” “So?” he repeated. She turned her palms up. “So?” Noah wasn’t sure what to say. Absent were the pity and the suspicion and the distaste he usually encountered when others became aware of his Continue Reading
