Silk, Swords and Surrender by Jeannie Lin
Swordfights, maidenly blushes, political intrigue, and all in one vastly entertaining collection of shorter stories.
Category:Genre: Historical
My Brown-Eyed Earl by Anna Bennett
The author does many things right here, but ultimately, this one is so predictable and familiar that it ends up just average.
The Viscount Risks It All by Erin Knightley
The Viscount can go hang himself for all I care.
Bound by a Scandalous Secret by Diane Gaston
Warning: this story has one of the most moronic heroines I’ve ever come across. Avoid if you can’t stand such wretches.
Four Weddings and a Sixpence by Julia Quinn, Elizabeth Boyle, Laura Lee Guhrke, and Stefanie Sloane
Julia Quinn comes to the rescue, but alas, she is only one woman.
When a Marquess Loves a Woman by Vivienne Lorret
This one is charming and amusing. It would have been better, perhaps, if the angst had been removed altogether.
The Governess’s Secret Baby by Janice Preston
For a Christmastime story, this one is perplexingly dreary and tedious.
The Runaway Governess by Liz Tyner
I am so ready to give this one five oogies, but sigh, the author ruins everything eventually.
The Danger of Desire by Sabrina Jeffries
Meet the most stupid heroine ever from this author. Bring strong libations. Or a pickax.
The Scottish Duke by Karen Ranney
This is a well-written book that still leaves a bitter aftertaste.
