The Truth About Lady Felkirk by Christine Merrill
This is almost a great, complicated read. Maybe if it has more pages? It’s very readable, but missing something.

Wild West Christmas by Jenna Kernan, Kathryn Albright, and Lynna Banning
Christmas anthologies tend to be misses, unless you’re soused.
Betrayed by His Kiss by Amanda McCabe
Ooh, Renaissance Italy! The scenery is lovely, and the narrative is pretty engaging. But this is a revenge plot with so little emotional pay-off, so… eh.
The Songbird’s Seduction by Connie Brockway
Falling for a nerd in 1908 is a wild, exuberant, insane rush. I’ve no idea how true is that, but The Songbird’s Seduction makes me a convert to the faith.
Daring Miss Danvers by Vivienne Lorret
Fake engagement is a staple of the genre, but it still needs to make sense. And this makes no sense at all, so… fail?
Winning Miss Wakefield by Vivienne Lorret
Winning Miss Wakefield has a plot that shouldn’t work, but the author pulls it off well. Too bad the plot requires the heroine to be clueless.
Saved by the Viking Warrior by Michelle Styles
Saved by the Viking Warrior is like a Medieval Fair that only gets good during its last legs. It has some solid moments, but it’s also utterly artificial.
Lord Havelock’s List by Annie Burrows
A socially awkward hunk and a pragmatic heroine stuck in a practical marriage. Cute.
The Gentleman Rogue by Margaret McPhee
Lots of melodramatic passion and intense secrets in The Gentleman Rogue by Margaret McPhee – the right ingredients for a book that is unexpectedly awesome.
Not Quite a Wife by Mary Jo Putney
Oh, an accidental pregnancy story. This is almost a return to former glory. Almost, not quite, and ain’t that a shame.
