The Falling in Love was Lovely

When a Duchess Says I Do by Grace Burrowes

by 1 Comment

I have just signed up for Netgalley and this is the first book I’ve received from them. So, standard terms and conditions apply, I received a free copy in exchange for a review. I loved about half the book and was annoyed by about half the book. I loved Duncan and Matilda. I loved them individually. I loved them together. They were lovely and reading as they came to like and trust each other and then fall in love was like sinking into a warm […]

Four romances for the price of one

The Bridegroom Wore Plaid by Grace Burrowes

by Leave a Comment

Ian MacGregor isn’t even officially the Earl of Balfour yet, that title technically belongs to his older brother, who went off to the Colonies and is presumed dead. It’s been nearly seven years and everyone certainly believes Ian to be the head of the MacGregor clan. While they’re not penniless, they don’t have a whole lot of money to keep the estates going, so Ian is looking for a rich bride to support himself, his two younger brothers, his widowed sister and his niece, not […]

A Long Story of Misunderstanding

The Duke's Disaster by Grace Burrowes

by Leave a Comment

I haven’t read many of Grace Burrowes’ books, and I’m not sure this one is inspiring me to look for more of hers.  As per the Amazon blurb: Noah Winters, Duke of Anselm, exercises the pragmatism for which he’s infamous when his preferred choice of bride cries off, and her companion, Lady Thea Collins, becomes his next choice for his duchess. Lady Thea’s mature, sensible and even rather attractive-what could possibly go wrong? As a lady fallen on hard times, Thea doesn’t expect tender sentiments […]

As usual, Amazon sucks me in with that free book

The Sweetest Kiss Series (A Kiss for Luck; A Single Kiss; The First Kiss; Kiss Me Hello) by Grace Burrowes

by 1 Comment

This review contains spoilers for books in the Sweetest Kiss Series – Just FYI.   After my Grace Burrowes review, I wandered through her Amazon page a little bit, and happened to see a free novella, and downloaded it to my Kindle.  That book, A Kiss For Luck, was short, and sweet, and had unusual enough characters that I was interested in the following trilogy of books, and downloaded them once I finished it.  The characters in the novella are tangentially related to the main […]

What makes a ‘perfect soldier’, and how does that translate into a ‘marriageable man’?

The Soldier by Grace Burrowes

by 4 Comments

I don’t know how popular author Grace Burrowes is – I’ve heard her name a few times on book sites, but I don’t get the impression that she’s a well-known, go-to regency author, and – if The Soldier is anything to go by – that’s a damned shame.  Because what struck me about this book, which deals with a lot of heavy things (most notably a soldier with very definite PTSD symptoms and both a heroine and a young girl who are trying to pick […]

Women in Peril and the Lonely Lords Who Swive Them

Gareth, Lord of Rakes and Andrew, Lord of Despair by Grace Burrowes

by 2 Comments

“Oh, to live in Grace Burrowes’ Regency England. This is a magical world where the aristocracy’s finest specimens of masculinity are, to a man, well over six feet tall, with all their hair and all their teeth. They are careful stewards of their wealth, which is considerable. Despite what the historical record might suggest, they bathe frequently, and instead of smelling of whiskey, the stables, or their own stinky sweat, they rather have about their persons the pleasing scent of bergamot or cedar. In the […]
