Clothes Horse Meets Fashion Don’t

Miss Wonderful by Loretta Chase

by Leave a Comment

Bingo Square: Brain Candy With this, I have now completed Loretta Chase’s Carsington Family series, even if I saved the first of the series for last!  This was another solid entry, though there is barely even a mention of Rupert in this novel beyond being lumped in as one of Alistair’s younger brothers (and the one with the grey horses). What can I say, Mr. Impossible remains my favorite of the series, and I am sure it has nothing to do with the fact that Rupert was basically like the Taika Waititi version of Thor. At least y’all won’t have […]

They’re All Grown Up

Last Night's Scandal by Loretta Chase

by Leave a Comment

Peregrine and Olivia have known each other since they were children when his uncle and her mother fell in love in Lord Perfect.  Peregrine has spent most of that time in Egypt with Rupert (my favorite, be still my heart :p ) with only a few short trips home over the years.  As a result, Peregrine is rather surprised to discover that his dramatic, slightly awkward but lively friend has become the most beautiful woman in the room.  Olivia has always felt great affection towards Peregrine, and may have realized a more romantic leaning interest sooner than he did, but […]

Animal Husbandry and Home Renovation

Not Quite a Lady by Loretta Chase

by Leave a Comment

This is the fourth of the Carsington Family novels, and focuses on the youngest and only remaining single brother, Darius.  His father challenges him to either take an old family estate that has finally been released from some legal restrictions and make it profitable within a year or settle down and marry a suitably well-dowered woman.  Darius considers himself the logical, unemotional brother though as the youngest, he also feels like there weren’t really many roles left to claim for himself.  While his father might not care for his work, Darius has actually made a name for himself with his […]

“Fear must be challenged, I have found. It is a powerful beat if it is allowed the mastery.”

The Proposal (The Survivors' Club #1) by Mary Balogh

by Leave a Comment

I have finally taken my first trip to a Mary Balogh romance. I’m still surprised when I manage to miss an author completely, but it usually means that there’s a well-liked series with good reviews which is complete that I can dive right into. In the case of Mary Balogh that series is the Survivors’ Club which tells the story of seven people who survived great tragedy (whether physical or mental) during the Napoleonic Wars and formed a tight friendship while they healed for three years away from Society. The first book in the series, The Proposal, held my attention […]

So this was a book that I read – the heroine has a pet skunk. I know, quirky, right?

Wilde in Love by Eloisa James

by 1 Comment

2.5 stars Lord Alaric Wilde is the third son of the Duke of Lindow (although the eldest died in a tragic accident a few years back). He’s been travelling the world for years, having adventures and while he was gone, the books about his travels have become hugely popular, particularly because of a wildly successful play, portraying him as a tragic romantic hero. Alaric is rather taken aback by his overwhelming fame when he returns home. At a house party at his father’s, there are masses of young ladies who want to meet the tragic hero of Wilde in Love (where Lord […]

When the Eldest Son Lets Loose

Lord Perfect by Loretta Chase

by Leave a Comment

Lord Perfect is the third of The Carsington Family novels, and the one that immediately follows Mr. Impossible.  Benedict is the eldest of the brothers, the heir to the title, and the one who has always done everything right.  Even society refers to him as Lord Perfect.  He is widowed, and while his in-laws are on the dramatic side, he has kept up the relationship because of his nephew by marriage, 13-year-old Peregrine, whom he is has taken under his wing.  Peregrine has had issues with previous tutors and at school, but it is not because he is a natural […]

Flirting over artifacts and forgeries

Bound by Your Touch by Meredith Duran

by 5 Comments

I’ve had Bound By Your Touch on my reading list for a long time, probably because at some point it was recommended by Malin or Mrs Julien or both. As per usual, a rec from these ladies turned out to be a pretty lovely romance. Heroine is Lydia Boyce, a spinster bluestocking (my favorite!) who works for her father in the trade of collectible Egyptian artifacts. Boyce Sr. is an academic archaeologist actively excavating, and Lydia is essentially his business manager back in Egypt. She earns her meet-not-so-cute with Viscount Sanburne when, in the middle of one of her lectures, […]

That’s One Way to Wake Up and Smell the Roses

That Scandalous Summer by Meredith Duran

by Leave a Comment

I picked this one up because after reading Fool Me Twice, since I wanted to read the story of the Duke of Marwick’s brother and Elizabeth Chudderley.  However, I think I may have been in more of a Loretta Chase mood since I also picked up Miss Wonderful around the same time to learn more about Alastair Carsington, the brother whose engagement Rupert refers to mournfully a few times in Mr. Impossible. Basically, it is not that this is a bad romance novel, but I think I was in the mood for a more humorous romance.  Not that this one […]
