Back from the dead, the earl seeks vengeance

The Sins of Lord Lockwood by Meredith Duran

by 1 Comment

This book is the latest in the Rules for the Reckless series, though it’s very easy to read as a stand alone.  It is linked somewhat to Ms Duran’s debut book, The Duke of Shadows, which I read last year but completely forgot about for the most part until the end of this one.  So whether that’s good or bad, I’m not sure, take it as you will. This is the tale of Liam Devaliant, Earl of Lockwood, who mysteriously disappeared on his wedding night to Lady Anna, a countess in her own right before their marriage due to her […]

No one believes his mad story about being an earl, or if they do, they don’t care. Four years later, he’s back in London, a very changed man, determined to enact his revenge on the man behind the plot to have him abducted, his own cousin. All the male retainers in his household are basically former convicts who survived along with them. In the eight months since his return […]

Amnesia again, but handled so much better!

A Lady's Code of Misconduct by Meredith Duran

by 2 Comments

So this is the second book I’ve read this month with the amnesia trope  – I admit I didn’t realize that detail originally, only that it was Meredith Duran’s latest book and I was happy to discover it on the library shelf!  I was also glad to discover that she has handled the situation much better than Julia Quinn. The characters have much more depth and the plot is more involved and intriguing than Quinn’s.  The book is #5 in the Rules for the Reckless series; however, it can be read on its own, since there’s not really any ties […]

Historical Romance with Strong Women (and a Couple of Guys)

Lady Be Good and Luck Be a Lady by Meredith Duran

by 4 Comments

This is a previous review updated with the next book in the series… Lady Be Good Meredith Duran writes very strong, character driven historical romance, but Lady Be Good never quite grabbed me. It was as accomplished as readers have come to expect from Duran and involving at the time, but I didn’t really think about it once I was done. That said, I would really like to read the next novel in the Rules for the Reckless series, Luck Be a Lady, as it involves an up-from-the-the-gutter hero and a very proper heroine and those are almost always fun. From […]
