… In for a Pound

In for a Penny by Rose Lerner

April 20, 2023 by Pooja Leave a Comment

When Nev’s father dies unexpectedly, he leaves the family mired in debt, so he decides to make a convenient marriage to Penny, the fabulously wealthy but low-born daughter of a brewer. This is the second book I’ve read by Lerner (the first being the fabulous A Lily Among Thorns), but it has many of the same hallmarks – an unconventional, rather unsentimental romance, a strong grounding in history, and plenty of intrigue and action. I enjoyed the plot about the tenant rebellion, even if I […]

“There was no one chance at happiness, no single destined person one either found or spent one’s life missing.”

All or Nothing by Rose Lerner

February 13, 2022 by Nart Leave a Comment

There is little I love more than a story about a bitchy, fallen woman and a sweet, kind man that loves her, but when you make her Jewish I’m going to stop being able to be objective at all. Plot: Maggie is running a successful business with her best friend where rich men can come to gamble, drink, whore and whatever else they like. This is a huge improvement on her life previously, so since she has money and safety and relative freedom, she should […]

A Few Drops of Water to Keep the Peace

The Wife in the Attic by Rose Lerner

April 3, 2021 by Emmalita Leave a Comment

I’m going to be clear up front that I am not a fan of the Brontes and I really dislike Mr. Rochester. When he gets held up as a romantic hero my jaw clenches. When Rose Lerner announced she was writing an f/f retelling of Jane Eyre I was delighted.  I was delighted Mr. Rochester wouldn’t end up with the love of a good woman, and more importantly, Rose Lerner is an amazing author and I’d read her retelling of my grocery list. The Wife […]

And That Would Be Enough

Hamilton's Battalion: A Trio of Romances by Rose Lerner, Courtney Milan, Alyssa Cole

August 24, 2019 by Jen K 1 Comment

Bingo Square: The Collection I originally downloaded this about a year ago because I wanted to read the Courtney Milan novella before going to see Hamilton in New York again.  However, I didn’t quite get around to the other two, and Bingo seemed like a good opportunity to go back and read the entire collection. The collection kicks off with Rose Lerner’s story, about a young Jewish woman disguised as a man fighting for the Revolution.  It’s the eve of the battle of Yorktown, and […]

Great Historical Romance That Has Me Wanting to Read More About the Servant Class in England

Listen to the Moon by Rose Lerner

July 28, 2019 by Classic 4 Comments

So this was a romance buddy read with WhiskeyintheJar/Kyraryker and Sam (AMNReader). The three of us I think all really enjoyed this though Sam is still finishing up. I really loved the entire plot (a marriage of convenience) with heat. The two main characters, Sukey and John were great and I loved how they did things differently though they were both part of the servant class. The sex scenes were highly explicit, but very very hot, I loved them and liked that we actually had these two trying […]

Three Revolutionary War romances.

May 8, 2018 by narfna 2 Comments

This book is actually three novellas, all written under the umbrella premise of Eliza Hamilton collecting stories about her husband, Alexander, in service of recording his legacy. I enjoyed all three of the novellas, but I definitely enjoyed Courtney Milan’s the most (not really surprised there). I’m also not really surprised that I enjoyed Alyssa Cole’s the least, as I’ve not had great luck with her books in the past. But overall, this is a solid trio of romances, set in a time period I […]
