Secrets of a Summer Night (Wallflowers, #1) by Lisa Kleypas

June 8, 2021 by narfna Leave a Comment

I’ve been trying out several “classic” romance authors this year in an effort to clean out my own shelves of books I bought years ago and never read (one trip to Bookmans in particular ended with heaps of old paperbacks with scantily clad models on the front). This is the lone Kleypas from my collection, and the first book of hers I’ve read. And I liked it! It was a perfectly fine book. I ended up with this book of hers because it was the […]

The ladies on here kept mentioning Lisa Kleypas so I finally went to the library and got one out. Fast forward to a month later… and I’ve read […]

December 16, 2014 by competitivenonfiction 3 Comments

And Mrs. Julien provided exactly the list I needed in her post So You Want to Read A Historical Romance provided me with exactly the information I needed to get started. In fact, not only is that list awesome, but her review of these books is far superior to my own, so you can go check that out […]
