Midnight Angel by Julie Beard

Midnight Angel by Julie Beard

December 2, 2003 | 3 Oogies, Book Reviews, Genre: Historical

The romance is in need of some development, but the author prefers to focus on the third-rate mystery.

April 1, 2001 | 1 Oogie, Book Reviews, Genre: Historical

A story where the hero tries desperately to stop the heroine from being an imbecile. How fun.

My Fair Lord by Julie Beard

My Fair Lord by Julie Beard

June 1, 2000 | 2 Oogies, Book Reviews, Genre: Historical

A role-reversal take on Pygmalion – interesting. Add in lots of whining – irritating.
