Marrying His Cinderella Countess by Louise Allen
Don’t be fooled by premise: the heroine refuses to believe that she can be loved, and bores everyone by whining non-stop about it.
The Duke’s Daughters: Lady Be Reckless by Megan Frampton
Bastard bastard bastard bastard bastard bastard…
Beyond Scandal and Desire by Lorraine Heath
Never mind the plot, the author does a bang-up job in reminding me why she can be one of the better romance authors around.
Hello Stranger by Lisa Kleypas

My Once and Future Duke by Caroline Linden
A part of me likes this one, but the more I reflect on it, the more I can’t justify giving it a higher score.
Reckless by Anne Stuart
Nope, I think I’m still in the outgrown phase where this author is concerned.
Secrets at Court by Blythe Gifford
Sigh. Why do these stories with intriguing backdrops tend to come with boring, goody-goody heroines?
The Trouble with True Love by Laura Lee Guhrke
Whatever the author is trying to say in her story, it’s a garbled mess of contradictions by the time I reach the last page.
His Convenient Marchioness by Elizabeth Rolls
Ah yes, another martyr damsel in distress and the hero who cleans up her mess, despite her own efforts to prevent him from doing so.
