I was going to read Between the Devil and Ian Eversea (2014) by Julie Anne Long as soon as it came out, but my library purchased an ebook and not the Kindle version. After much waiting, I got the message to check it out, and I realized I couldn’t read it. I was disappointed, but there are a lot of other books out there, and I was soon distracted. It was only recently that I finally decided to suck it up and borrow the paper […]
Catching Up on my Vacation Romance Reading
I feel the need to apologize since I read these books over a month ago and am only now getting around to posting reviews. I’m sure I would have remembered more details and more of my feelings about the books if I’d been more on the ball. Now they’ve all sort of melded together in my head, but I wrote down what I could: A Lot Like Love by Julie James It Happened One Midnight by Julie Anne Long Just the Sexiest […]
Another Historical Romance, but with an Adjacent Competitor [Cue Duelling Banjos]
Between the Devil and Ian Eversea by Julie Anne Long
Malin beat me to it… Tansy Danforth is isolated, orphaned, and looking to a family friend to help her both settle in a new country and, this is a historical romance after all, marry to gain access to her inheritance. Fortunately for Julie Anne Long fans, the friend is Alex Moncrieffe, Duke of Falconbridge who, along with Genevieve his duchess, is from Long’s classic romance pairing in What I Did for a Duke. Tansy is staying at the Eversea estate in Pennyroyal Green while she […]
A Regency romance heavy on the flirting
Miss Titania “Tansy” Danforth is all alone in the world. Her beloved brother was a soldier who died in the war of 1812, and her parents died in a carriage accident. Now she’s had to leave the home she knew in New York to travel back to England, where she hasn’t lived since she was a little girl. Her father’s will states that she’ll not have her fortune released until she marries a man approved by her new guardian, her father’s cousin, the fearsome Duke […]
Sweet and Funny
I’m not sure if it was my mood or the unusually long gap between romance novels, but I really, really liked How the Marquess Was Won (2011) by Julie Anne Long. After almost giving up on Long entirely because of some extreme typo issues, she’s become one of my favorite historical romance novelists. I already have a couple more of hers on my kindle, which I’m saving for my vacation. Now, there were some major typo issues in this book as well, but it wasn’t […]
A May December Romance That Doesn’t Make Me Gag
My plan was to start 2014 off with a nice, important classic: namely, Walden by Thoreau. But then, What I Did for a Duke (2011) by Julie Anne Long became available at my library. Probably no one will be surprised when they hear that I am finished with What I Did for a Duke and only about ten percent done with Walden. Anyway, I’m very pleased to say that Mrs. Julien and I now have one romance novel that we both really like! I keep […]
