Still just as good as I remembered it

What I Did for a Duke by Julie Anne Long

by 2 Comments

I first read and reviewed this book back in 2011 (when it came out), during Cannonball III. My original review, which among other things contains a plot summary, can be found here. If you do take a look at my previous review (or just check my rating of this book), you can see that the rather unlikely romance between Miss Genevieve Eversea Lord Alexander Moncrieffe, the Duke of Falconbridge is one of my absolute favourites. I loved it utterly when I first read it back in […]

They shot the penis off a statue and somehow it wasn’t enough

Like No Other Lover by Julie Anne Long

by 4 Comments

Julie Anne Long is a terrific author. She has a gift for creating fully realized characters out of even the most periphery characters that have virtually no space on the page. She treats her characters with intense, borderline radical compassion in a world that loves to categorize people into Good or Bad as quickly and irrevocably as possible.   This talent is probably why I am so deeply disappointed in this book.   Like No Other Lover is the second book in Pennyroyal Green series, which […]

Round 2 at the Boarding Home With Lots of Rules

Angel in a Devil's Arms by Julie Anne Long

by Leave a Comment

Angelique Breedlove and her business partner Delilah were on the brink of having to give up on their boarding house when an agent came in and rented their best room for his client for his convenience.  All of the previous novel occurred without their mystery guest, but now he is here. Lucien Durand, Viscount Bolt, has returned to London after years abroad.  In fact, most of society thought he had died, drowning in the Thames a decade before after a night of drinking.  Turns out, […]

Didn’t really work for me, but will give the author a couple more tries. Yes, Malin and Mrs. J, I will be reading #5 next :)

The Perils of Pleasure (Pennyroyal Green, #1) by Julie Anne Long

by 2 Comments

This just never really clicked for me. I’m going to try a couple more books by this author and see how it goes, though. I had a good enough time with it, but I never really connected with the characters outside of a handful of moments, and I didn’t think the main couple really connected with each other, either. I also felt the central premise was kind of wasted. It started out pretty great. I like the concept of the feuding families being the center […]

Julie Anne Long’s return to historical romance is more successful than Lisa Kleypas’

Angel in a Devil's Arms by Julie Anne Long

by Leave a Comment

Official book description: He has devil’s blood in his veins. At least, that’s always been the legend. How else could the Duke of Brexford’s notorious bastard son return from the dead? The brutal decade since Lucien Durand, Lord Bolt, allegedly drowned in the Thames forged him into a man who always gets what—and who—he wants. And what he wants is vengeance for his stolen birthright…and one wild night in Angelique Breedlove’s bed. Angelique recognizes heartbreak when the enigmatic Lord Bolt walks into The Grand Palace […]
