How the Scoundrel Seduces by Sabrina Jeffries
How cute, this one is patterned after the ramblings of a Tumblr social justice warrior.

Castle of the Wolf by Margaret Moore
Predictable Castle of the Wolf reminds me of better medieval romances. Still, nostalgia ain’t bad when there are hardly any such books around.
Bonnie by Ellie Macdonald
This one doesn’t know what it wants to be, so it ends up as something it probably never wanted to be.
A Lady’s Revenge by Tracey Devlyn
It’s a spy romance where nobody acts like a spy, a historical thriller without any thrills, with a talented spy heroine who spends all time needing rescue.
Talk Sweetly to Me by Courtney Milan
Two very interesting characters in an interracial romance set in Victorian England… alas, it just has to be a novella.
Sweet Revenge by Zoë Archer
Normally Zoë Archer can deliver a kick-ass story, but this one is flat. Still, the heroine is competent, and the hero can be charming for a big dumb lug.
The Suffragette Scandal by Courtney Milan
Suffragettes are tricky character to handle, but here, things are actually pretty good.
Salvation in the Rancher’s Arms by Kelly Boyce
This Western romance started out really good, but it soon becomes apparent that the heroine is robotic in her persistent obstinacy and paranoia. Oh, and she doesn’t want to be a whore. You’d be hearing that one a lot.
A Lady of Notoriety by Diane Gaston
Why is it that every story that claims to have a scandalous heroine always end up serving a desperately needy bint instead?
Never Forget Me by Marguerite Kaye
Pro: this one is set during World War 1. Con: it’s a collection of three short and very forgettable stories.
