This is a disappointing offering from an author who had proven that she could do so much better.

It’s a well-mannered bore only fans of traditional regency stories can love.

How can the author followed the excellent The Charm School with… this?

This one is hilarious, so I’m giving it some love despite my reservations about the heroine.

If you haven’t read anything by this author, you should. Starting with this one.

Magic and stuff, just in time for Halloween.

It’s easier to pretend to like this book in order to appear intellectual than to actually, well, like it.

Ooh, the first no-holds-barred mainstream erotic romance anthology!

Two unlikable characters somehow make a likable story. Odd, but true.
