Big Duke Energy

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Big Author Energy!

“”Body, heart, and soul. I give myself to you freely and without reservation, to do with whatever you wish.”
Her heart sputtered, stalled, and then kicked over in her ribs twice as fast as before. Surely she was misunderstanding. “But…you have often said you are not a man who wants to be tied down.”
He shrugged. “Historically-metaphorically-that’s been true, but in the strictest sense of the word, I very much like to be tied–“” – from THE EA...

Clarity by Sydney Jane Baily

My rating: 5 of 5 stars



A Romantic & Heartwarming Start to a New Regency Romance Family Saga!

Clarity is a Regency gem! Completely charming heroine? Completely unlikeable hero (who you often want to throttle)? Must be a match made in friends-to-enemies-to-lovers heaven!

The Diamond family are endearing from Sydney Jane Baily’s first note describing their family history and how they came by their unique last name. As a welcome change from many romance novels (including mo...

The Most Eligible Bride in London by Ella Quinn

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


A sweet but somewhat slow-moving romance, The Most Eligible Bride in London is the next installment in Ella Quinn’s Lords of London series. Lord Nate Fotherby is back in London after a period of penance in the country to make up for his rash decision a few years prior in abducting his best friend’s fiancée in an ill-fated attempt to prevent their marriage.

The Lady Tempts an Heir by Harper St. George

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


True Partners at Last

“”Why don’t you want to marry now, Mr. Crenshaw? You’re the right age; you’ve mentioned a desire for children.”
“I’d like to take my time and find the right woman. I want a union of mutual respect and affection, someone who can be a true partner to me instead of an ornament at my table and on my arm. An equal. I’m prepared to wait for such a woman.”
She parted her lips to respond, but no words were forthcoming....

A Perfect Equation by Elizabeth Everett

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Brilliant Petite Scientist + Sardonic Alphahole = Love Match

Enemies to lovers, forced proximity, and a setting in a Victorian STEM institute run by women–A Perfect Equation has many things going for it. The book was laugh out loud funny from the get-go with an action-packed introduction and wonderful steamy tension.

What happened to our heroine, Letty Fenley, six years ago? The answer, when he finally understands it, will bring our her...

Indecent by Darcy Burke

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


From Rags to Romance

Indecent opens with a satisfying scene in which our kidnapped heroine, Prudence, displays she has a very fine backbone as she verbally defenestrates her kidnapper, who has accidentally plundered the wrong woman. Indeed, Prudence says everything I as a reader was hoping she would and does everything short of physical harm (the only tiny disappointment in a great first chapter; I was hoping she would kick him where it hurts, because...

Under His Lover’s Wing by Merry Farmer

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


The Prince and the Mermaid Boy (Steamy M/M Regency Romance)

What a beautiful fairytale of a book!

Lord Spencer Brightling has returned from the wars nearly deaf after a cannon blast destroyed his hearing. Anxious and morose, he joins his friends at a summer-long house party at the Duke of Malton’s that is the backdrop for the After the Wars series. Enter Declan Shelton, the duke’s young gamekeeper, who lives on the estate with his father...

Love Denied by Rose Phillips

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


A Lasting Love Beyond Tragedy

This book gave me heavy Wuthering Heights and even Edgar Allan Poe vibes! It was a much darker read than I was expecting but I liked that it tried to cover some new ground for a historical romance. The author’s writing is beautiful and she conjures her setting perfectly.

Catherine and Nicholas are childhood sweethearts who are parted for four years when Nicholas goes to war. When Nicholas’s older brother and the heir ...

I recently did an author interview with Relationships Are Complicated, a relationship website that “explores and demystifies relationships, one topic at a time.” They have a huge collection of author interviews and therapist interviews up. Almost all of the author interviews are romance authors and there’s a broad range of topics and genres covered. Besides my own, you can check out interviews with KG MacGregor, Golden Angel, Delaney Diamond, and Glynnis Campbell to name just a few!
