“I didn’t smuggle the dog into the country; I merely caused him to be smuggled out of Baluchistan.”

Frederica by Georgette Heyer

January 17, 2023 by Pooja 4 Comments

CBR15 Passport Challenge: Different (sub)genres #2 The Marquis of Alverstoke, wealthy, vain, and immensely bored, sees no reason why he must put himself to any trouble for anyone at all. But when he agrees to sponsor a beautiful young woman’s debut in society, he can’t help but become tangled up with her managing older sister. I read Georgette Heyer’s romances sparingly. Not because I dislike them, but indeed the opposite – I adore their sharp humor, hijinks, and immersive historical setting – and I don’t […]

The Most Noble of Ladies… and the Gunmaker’s Grandson

The Regal by Kate Archer

December 26, 2022 by Pooja Leave a Comment

The duchess has finally settled on a young lady to sponsor, and in true duchess fashion this young lady is quite a noble one, with the blood of the Plantagenets running in her veins. Now if only she wouldn’t insist on entangling herself with a recent baron! This is the conclusion of A Series of Worthy Young Ladies, a comic Regency romance series I have been following all year, and it was a good book to wrap up the whole saga. The hero is Harry […]

Naughty Ladies

Lady, Be Wanton by Cerise DeLand

Lady, Behave by Cerise DeLand

Lady, No More by Cerise DeLand

August 12, 2022 by Pooja Leave a Comment

CBR 14 Bingo: ‘Verse Though this is a series, it definitely has a wide-ranging backstory that tangles together into a realistically messy universe. The first fruits of that anthology I read a few days ago – catching up on the series that one of the authors references. Of course that novella spoiled many elements of these – but I still enjoyed my read! Lady, Be Wanton (3.5 stars) Imogen, the middle sister of the triplets, has a small predilection for thievery, a little scandal in […]

The Stickiest of Sticks

The Undaunted by Kate Archer

August 10, 2022 by Pooja Leave a Comment

CBR 14 Bingo: Cozy An Heyer-esque read, this book has minimal angst, maintains cheer, and ends happily all round. Caroline is the latest of the young women to be presented by the Society of Sponsoring Ladies, but being set loose on the scandalous city of Brighton may end up too much for her reputation. Of course I snapped this book up on NetGalley as soon as it became available – I’ve been really enjoying this series, and it turns out that this is probably my […]

Spinster Meets Beast

Chasing the Earl by Kathleen Ayers

June 15, 2022 by Pooja Leave a Comment

Emmagene and Henry attend a house party to support their friends’ wedding, but because they are not very popular people, they are constantly thrown together by the hostess – which turns out to be not a bad thing after all. I picked up this book because I was interested in how the author would convince me to invest in a romance with two quite unlikable leads – truly unlikable, with her cutting sternness and his beastliness, not merely unpopular. Spoiler alert: the author manages it. […]
