A Lady for Lord Randall by Sarah Mallory
Why take a story rife with possibilities and turn it into a tale of stubborn one-dimensional creatures scowling at one another?
Category:Genre: Historical
Sound of the Heart by Genevieve Graham
The adventures, the dangers, and the hero are all adequate for a good time. The romance, not quite.
A Ring from a Marquess by Christine Merrill
Don’t tell anyone, but I think the two main characters here skin bunnies and kill old ladies for fun.
The Daring Exploits of a Runaway Heiress by Victoria Alexander
The author didn’t run away with her fantastical premise, more the pity.
The Perfect Mistress by Victoria Alexander
Wait, did anyone say “perfect”? Not today, dear, not today.
Louisa by Ellie Macdonald
I loathe the heroine. She should be a Mortal Kombat character so that I can perform repeated fatalities on her.
Sara by Ellie Macdonald
A whiny special snowflake and a doormat sex-mad bunny boiler, together in love. Just kill me already.
Four Nights with the Duke by Eloisa James
The author commits the greatest authorial crime ever: she fails to make me care even a little about her story.
It Started with a Scandal by Julie Anne Long
It is never about this book. It’s all about the next book, when Lyon Whatshisname finally faces the firing squad.
Stolen by the Highlander by Terri Brisbin
There are many dramatic moments here, and the romance is lost in there, somewhere.
