The Scandalous Saga of the White Lady - A Historical Regency Romance Novel

Review:Compared to some of your other books, I found this one a little slow moving. But once it got moving I was hooked ! Maybe it was dealing with three couples and their feelings that was my challenge but I enjoyed reading it and would recommend to others to read. Read more

A Historical Regency Romance Book - A Governess for the Brooding Duke

Review:History interests me so I liked the portrayal of a governess' !ife. So isolated. I was reminded of Downton Abbey (which also has a servant Daisy). The total meanness toward the new governess never was totally explained to my satisfaction. History buffs will love this book. Read more

A Medieval Scottish Historical Romance Book - Highlander's Stolen Wife

Review:The main character in this book is Scotland. It was like a love letter to this magical place. The storied history of Scotland was captured in this telling of Alistair's and Mary's love. A tumultuous tale of chance meetings that map out your life's journey. A fight to keep what you love and believe in. It was a wonderful stroll through history and a love like no other. This is a romance fan's dream story. Read more

Review:I was disappointed in this book, Weiting simplistic and not fully deeloped. Charactersvwere 2 dimensional and jumped from 1 scene to another. The love interest of the main characterbseemed more like a brother sister relationship. Not worth the money. Wait till it comes down in price and then buy it if you want to read it. Read more

Bianca: The Silk Merchant's Daughters

Review:Even though the history was extensive and fascinating, I did not enjoy this book. It definitely doesn't fall into any of the traditional romance novel traps. However, I did not find it to be an endearing or charming love story. It wasn't to my personal taste. I found it difficult to become involved with the lead characters. I won't be purchasing another book by this author. Read more

Review:Reviewed by Guest Reviewer/Kimberly & posted at Under the Covers Book Blog

I will start this review off by saying that I am a huge fan of Bertrice Small, albeit a recent one. I first read a Dangerous Love back in 2010 and have been stuck since. Bertrice's books are memorable to say the least.

Review:After reading the first in this series, I was highly doubtful about this next book. As a long time reader of Bertrice Small's, I poo pipes the reviews, and dove into it with great relish, only to feel the lack of that special spark that is unique to the author. I even went so far as to go to her website and ask if there were ghost writers using her name. Bertrice Small herself answered my query, and in a very polite, even kindly reply, she said no ghost writers were ever used, and invited me to ... Read more

The Friendly Sea (The Duty and Destiny Series Book 1)

Review:The book itself was well written and enjoyable. It is my second exposure to this author and, while I like the writing, I detest the marketing strategy which is not unlike that of a drug pusher dealing with a youngster. The first book in a series is made available either for free or for a very low price; that is to get you "hooked" the remaining volumes in the series are then offered at what would be a moderate price for an online book except that the subsequent instalments are really rather shor...
