Review:Sarah, your books never disappoint! The past, the present, and the future brought together with Devon and his poor, little rich girl. She literally had him from the moment she opened her mouth! Her light was able to break through his darkness! The lock picker unlocked his heart. From the first, he sets his plan into action, she also sets her plan into place. They were so enchanted with each other. A FABULOUS love story!
Tap, tap! This book was wonderfully written. Each word and though... Read more
Review:Eloisa James has done it again. In this installment of Desperate Duchesses By the Numbers we once again meet an unorthodox woman going against society's dictates to have a career - this time as the owner of a Registry for Governesses. Of course, Mrs Eugenia Snowe could simply sit back and take her place as a member of the ton but she chooses to use her time to help families find just the right governess no matter how difficult the child/children might be.
Theodore (Ward) Reeve might be ille... Read more
Review:I generally love Eloisa James's books, so much so that this was an auto pre order.What a disappointment. It didn't even feel like it's a book by the same author I've come to love. The characters are not even a bit developed, in fact, Vanders reads like an overgrown eight year old who can't reason and throws a tantrum when he doesn't get his way. With the addition of an erection. Which he displays to Mia by dropping his pants when he barely knows her, because he's not happy with what she had to ... Read more
Review:The cover of this book is lovely-- I hope publishers take note of how tasteful and appealing such covers can be.
The book itself has some power, some emotion, but reads pretty much like a first draft. I'm not a big Regency reader, but even I noticed mistakes everywhere, like the major who is about to become an admiral (presumably he's going to have to switch from the army to the navy first), and all the British girls in the latest French fashions when they've been at war with France for 1...

Review:I enjoyed this book overall, but it was slow moving. It took more than a few chapters to get into it, and I wasn't fond of Diana. I was confused about why she didn't leave North a note when she left. Also, North didn't seem to fight for Diana, or care if she married him, until the end of the story. Read more
Review:I feel as though I am being disloyal to this great author. I have thoroughly enjoyed her previous books but this one just didn't cut it for me. This book had great potential, I felt it did not concentrate enough on the hero and heroine. Too much dialogue with secondary characters. I had to re-read the first sex scene, it was too sudden, it felt disjointed, hurried and totally disappointing. I couldn't finish this book, sorry! Read more
Review:As always with this author I find myself unable to put this book down! Such a great read with strong fabulous characters. can't wait for the next adventure. What new story and characters to fall in love with. She enacts my emotions. Read more
Review:The hero in When Beauty Tamed the Beast is based off of the character Gregory House, from the TV show House M.D. This made me unsure about picking up the book. While I love House, I was afraid this would read like really awful fanfiction. Luckily, that wasn't the case. When Beauty Tamed the Beast is very light and humorous with engaging characters. There are also a few homages to the TV show casually thrown in (such as the mention of a patient with the last name Cuddy) but they weren't annoying.... Read more
Review:I loved this book and it remains one of my favourites to read. Only thing though, there are more chapters about Jemma from Duchess of Mine than I would have anticipated. Those chapters were interesting and provides greater insight into the next book in the series but felt a bit out of place? Nevertheless, When the Duke Returns is a novel that I will continue to revisit time and time again Read more
Review:Didn't read the book when it was originally titled "The Legend of the Werestag", I like How to Catch a Wild Viscount title better. It sounds better and it entices me to read it more. The story of Cecily Hale and Viscount Luke Trenton of Merritt and how their love flourishes. Read more
