I guess I'm a bit lucky coming to this book as a reader who doesn't have a lot of experience with "Regency" romances. To me, this is merely an unexpected romance set in an historical era, so I was a lot more forgiving of aspects of the plot that seemed to bother other readers based … Continue reading Review: A Gentleman Never Keeps Score (Seducing the Sedgwicks #2) by Cat Sebastian
Review: The Ruin of a Rake (Turner Series #3) by Cat Sebastian
This was a satisfying conclusion to the romantic tales of the extended Turner family. While I was concerned that Lord Courtenay wouldn't appeal to me as a romantic lead after his introduction in The Lawrence Browne Affair, author Cat Sebastian proves a deft hand at hidden depths that do not negate any of the character … Continue reading Review: The Ruin of a Rake (Turner Series #3) by Cat Sebastian
Review: “A Case of Spirits” (A Charm of Magpies short) by K.J. Charles
This short story was included in my Kindle edition of A Case of Possession (A Charm of Magpies #2). This delightful short story doesn't add much to the interpersonal relationship between Lord Crane and Stephen Day, but it does show how Crane and his manservant Merrick have become intricately linked with Day's world of magician justiciars. … Continue reading Review: “A Case of Spirits” (A Charm of Magpies short) by K.J. Charles
Review: A Case of Possession (A Charm of Magpies #2) by K.J. Charles
This was not a long novel, but I think I would have devoured it just as quickly had it been twice the length. I've decided that I adore Lord Crane. Like any true romantic hero, he has looks, brains, and money. But his personality, lack of regard for polite society, and familiarity with the world … Continue reading Review: A Case of Possession (A Charm of Magpies #2) by K.J. Charles

Review: A THEFT OF MAGIC (Fay of Skye #2) by Cara McKinnon
Disclaimer: I consider the author a friend, and the two of us have worked together to help promote each other's work as nontraditional authors. I won a hardcopy version of this novel from the author in a random giveaway drawing during a social media launch event. I would absolutely have purchased this novel anyway. Romantic … Continue reading Review: A THEFT OF MAGIC (Fay of Skye #2) by Cara McKinnon
Book Release and Author Interview: SEVEN NOBLE KNIGHTS by J.K. Knauss
Congratulations to author J.K. Knauss on the release of her historical fiction novel, Seven Noble Knights. I've had the honor of previously interviewing this author about her contemporary fantasy novel, so it's fun to revisit and look at how the same author can have inspiration for completely different projects. Keep reading after the jump for more information … Continue reading Book Release and Author Interview: SEVEN NOBLE KNIGHTS by J.K. Knauss
Review: “The Visitor” by J.L. Pattison
Some short stories take a lot of information and parse it down into a quick, streamlined adventure. Some take a lot of information and pack it in to the point of leaving the reader to wonder why the author didn't just go ahead and write a novel. Unfortunately, J.L. Pattison's "The Visitor" was the latter … Continue reading Review: “The Visitor” by J.L. Pattison
