The Corinthian by Georgette Heyer

by Leave a Comment

In fraught times such as these, I am so glad I still have one or two Georgette Heyers that I have not yet gotten around to reading.  So even though this might not be prime Heyer, it was a delight nevertheless.   The ultimate Corinthian, Sir Richard Wyndham (he of the Windham Fall fame) is being pushed into marriage with a suitable bride, a veritable (as she is in no ways loath to admit) iceberg.  Even her own brother, Cedric, advises Windham to make a […]

A debut romance that is MUCH better than its painfully pink cover would indicate

A Wicked Kind of Husband by Mia Vincy

by 3 Comments

4.5 stars Official book description: Cassandra DeWitt has seen her husband only once—on their wedding day two years earlier—and this arrangement suits her perfectly.

Why, he’ll never even know she is there. Until he shows up in London too, and Cassandra finds herself sharing a house with the most infuriating man in England. Joshua DeWitt […]

Losing him broke her heart, though she’s been careful to hide it for the last ten years. But when he comes to her aid and vows to stand by her, no matter […]

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 […]

Short reads to finish off my reading year (and help me to finally complete my double Cannonball)
