by Leave a Comment

4.5 stars #CBR11 Bingo: Science! One of the protagonists is a scientist and his scientific experiments plays an important part throughout the story. Official book description: Lawrence Browne, the Earl of Radnor, is mad. At least, that’s what he and most of the village believes.

And So It Begins

What Angels Fear by C.S. Harris

by Leave a Comment

#CBR11 Book Bingo: And So It Begins From Goodreads, because it’s nearly three months since I finished this baby: It’s 1811, and the threat of revolution haunts the upper classes of King George III’s England. Then a beautiful young woman is found raped and savagely murdered on the altar steps of an ancient church near Westminster Abbey. A dueling pistol discovered at the scene and the damning testimony of a witness both point to one man, Sebastian St. Cyr, Viscount Devlin, a brilliant young nobleman shattered by his experience in the Napoleonic Wars. Now a fugitive running for his life, […]

I can barely remember having read this one. Not a great selling point, I know.

Love in the Time of Scandal by Caroline Linden

by 1 Comment

From Goodreads: Penelope Weston does not like Benedict Lennox, Lord Atherton. He may be the suave and charming heir to an earl, as well as the most handsome man on earth, but she can’t forget how he abandoned a friend in need—nor how he once courted her sister, Abigail. He’s the last man she would ever marry. If only she didn’t feel so attracted to the arrogant scoundrel… Once upon a time, Benedict thought he and Penelope got along rather well. Though he needs a wealthy bride to escape his cruel father’s control, spirited Penelope just doesn’t suit his plans […]

I’m so glad your first historical romance in several years was actually GOOD, Ms. Long!

Lady Derring Takes a Lover by Julie Anne Long

by Leave a Comment

From Goodreads: A mistress. A mountain of debt. A mysterious wreck of a building. Delilah Swanpool, Countess of Derring, learns the hard way that her husband, “Dear Dull Derring,” is a lot more interesting—and perfidious—dead than alive. It’s a devil of an inheritance, but in the grand ruins of the one building Derring left her, are the seeds of her liberation. And she vows never again to place herself at the mercy of a man. But battle-hardened Captain Tristan Hardy is nothing if not merciless. When the charismatic naval hero tracks a notorious smuggler to a London boarding house known […]

A pretty good follow up to Sorcerer to the Crown, even if I did predict everything.

The True Queen (Sorcerer Royal, #2) by Zen Cho

by Leave a Comment

First of all, on the one hand this was a good follow up to Sorcerer to the Crown, which took pretty much everyone by surprise several years ago. It was like a little breath of fresh air, a light fantasy full of people of color in a setting people of color don’t normally inhabit in fiction (Regency England), taking on existing power structures and being all clever and wonderful. This book continues that tradition (this time with an emphasis on kindness and identity). At the same time, one of the things I liked most about the first book is that […]

A dutiful duke and a beautiful courtesan – how will they make it work?

Dare to Love a Duke by Eva Leigh

by Leave a Comment

Thomas Powell has just become the Duke of Northfield and has to set aside his previously rakish ways to protect his father’s legacy and ensure a good future for his younger sister. She’s very much in love with the son of one of their father’s most trusted allies in Parliament, who clearly expects Thomas to continue supporting him, whether Thomas actually agrees with his views or not. Torn between duty and his own conscience, Thomas is struggling. The one place he feels at ease, the Orchid Club, is a deeply inappropriate hang-out for a duke. Lucia Marini has had to […]

The artist and the scarred warhero

Last Night with the Earl by Kelly Bowen

by Leave a Comment

3.5 stars Eli Dawes, the current Earl of Rivers, has been presumed dead for several years after Waterloo. Before he defied his father’s wishes and went off to war, he was a handsome, popular and carefree nobleman; now he’s got all manner of scars, both physical and emotional, as well as a healthy helping of guilt for never letting his father know he survived the war. He returns to England for reasons (I don’t remember, it’s been like a month since I finished this), but instead of going to London, he returns to the country house in Dover, where he […]

My favourite thing about this was probably the doll funerals

The Governess Game by Tessa Dare

by 4 Comments

3.5 stars From Goodreads, because I’m a month and a half behind on my reviews: After her livelihood slips through her fingers, Alexandra Mountbatten takes on an impossible post: transforming a pair of wild orphans into proper young ladies. However, the girls don’t need discipline. They need a loving home. Try telling that to their guardian, Chase Reynaud: duke’s heir in the streets and devil in the sheets. The ladies of London have tried—and failed—to make him settle down. Somehow, Alexandra must reach his heart . . . without risking her own. Like any self-respecting libertine, Chase lives by one […]
