Review: The Wicked Confessions of Lady Cecelia Stanton – Viveka Portman

Review: The Wicked Confessions of Lady Cecelia Stanton – Viveka Portman

*I received a free ARC of The Wicked Confessions of Lady Cecelia Stanton from Harlequin Enterprises Australia via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* The Wicked Confessions  of Lady Cecelia Stanton is a deliciously scandalous tale, and it was even more so because it is set in regency England! This hot little number shows that both the lady and the lord have a knack for finding sexual pleasure where they can. Of course, Cecelia starts out as the perfect newly-wed virgin, and she actually thinks her new husband broke her the first time they had sex. And even if that makes me mean, I have to admit it did make me smile a little. The good thing for Cecelia, […]

Review: Why Dukes Say I Do (Wicked Widows #1) – Manda Collins

On top of getting to know […]

Review: Lord Rakehell’s Love (The Curse of True Love #1) – Donna Cummings

Review: Lord Rakehell’s Love (The Curse of True Love #1) – Donna Cummings

*I received a free copy of Lord Rakehell’s Love directly from the author in exchange of an honest review* Lord Rakehell’s Love is a quick and humorous novella in the first book of Donna Cummings’ new historical romance series The Curse of True Love. I loved both of the main characters, Simon is the Lord who is more known for being a rake than anything else, but once he loses his heart to Georgina, he doesn’t want anybody else anymore. Georgina, despite her mother’s warnings not to ever wed a rake, can’t help but be swept off her feet, and she has a hard time not loving Simon, even after the disaster on their wedding day. I loved the humorous […]

Review: A Night to Surrender (Spindle Cove #1) – Tessa Dare

Review: A Night to Surrender (Spindle Cove #1) – Tessa Dare

A Night to Surrender is a truly delightful story! I fell in love with Susanna from the very beginning, it was so refreshing to read about a regency era heroine who is intelligent, strong-minded and who won’t back down from a challenge. Disappointed with her own debut, she has decided to help young women in a safe environment, and Spindle Cove is the perfect place for it. Susanna grew up there, and now she brings shy, unconventional-looking or too brazen women to the same place, to help them all advance in some field. Susanna herself is quite unconventional, and she does not believe women should always be demure, obey men and not enlighten themselves in science or other matters usually […]

Review: What the Duke Desires (The Duke’s Men #1) – Sabrina Jeffries

Review: What the Duke Desires (The Duke’s Men #1) – Sabrina Jeffries

*I received a free ARC of What the Duke Desires from Pocket Book via Edelweiss in exchange of an honest review* What the Duke Desires has everything I look for in a historical romance! A strong female lead, a handsome and slightly rogue Duke. A mystery. Hot romance. Steamy bedroom-scenes. Yes, all the boxes are checked to my immense reading pleasure. The writing is really good as well, I feel like I actually got to know Lisette and Maximillian, Dom and Tristan. And the plot was well done, and made the mystery just too mysterious for me to figure it out! I love reading historical romances, the way the characters act and speak is so different from today, and What […]

Blog Tour: Review + Giveaway: Where the Four Winds Collide – Hildie McQueen

*I received a free ARC of Where the Four Winds Collide from Enchantress of Book Blogtours in exchange of an honest review* Where the Four Winds Collide is a sweet western romance, with a heroine who is ready to do what it takes to save herself! It is refreshing when there is a heroine who is able to take care of herself, even if she hasn’t necessarily learned how. Adeline is one of those heroines who is both cute, polite, and very proper,  but she will do what it takes to make sure she is safe, and away from her tormentors. As Adeline makes her escape, the readers also get to meet Jackson, who is in a bad mood realizing […]

Review: Ten Reasons to Stay – Sabrina Jeffries

The first night in his new home, and he goes out to the stables where he comes face to face with a horse-thief!
