Review: How to Marry a Royal Highlander

Review: How to Marry a Royal Highlander

How to Marry a Royal Highlander is exactly the kind of historical romance I enjoy the most. Stubborn ladies and hot highland lords – what’s not to love? It’s not often I read a Historical Romance that is also a Romantic Suspense! How to Marry a Royal Highlander is both, though, and I know that is part of why I enjoyed Edie’s and Alec’s story so much. Add to that that Edie had been in a scandal, and she had to leave London for the rest of the season, to stay away at least for the whole winter. Alec, with help of Edie’s twin sister Evie’s husband Wolf managed to persuade a very involved mother that the Scottish Highlands was the […]

Review: How to Plan a Wedding for a Royal Spy – Vanessa Kelly

Review: How to Plan a Wedding for a Royal Spy – Vanessa Kelly

Fun, mysterious and very hot, How to Plan a Wedding for a Royal Spy continues in the same vein as the other books in this series. I was a little annoyed with Evie at times, though, she didn’t really think things through. My How to Plan a Wedding for a Royal Spy review: The beginning of How to Plan a Wedding… was pretty emotional, because Will was at the end of the battle in Waterloo, seeing all the dead soldiers from both sides of the war. He quickly became happy to be back in England, though, and even planned to give his notice as a spy for the crown. His Duke of a father had other plans, though, because one […]

Review: Tall, Dark and Royal – Vanessa Kelly

Review: Tall, Dark and Royal – Vanessa Kelly

Tall, Dark and Royal has mystery, chemistry and a very strong female character to make things interesting. My Tall, Dark and Royal review: Chloe and Dominic aren’t your usual HR characters, both because Chloe has pretended to be dead for a long time, and because they’re both older than the part of the ton who is out to get married and start a family. This certainly made Tall, Dark and Royal a very interesting read. Chloe is a very strong-minded woman, she has been on her own since she was fifteen, after her illegitimate son was taken from her, and she found work with an older woman. Helping other young women who found themselves pregnant but not married became Chloe’s […]

Review: Confessions of a Royal Bridegroom – Vanessa Kelly

Review: Confessions of a Royal Bridegroom – Vanessa Kelly

*I received a free ARC of Confessions of a Royal Bridegroom from Kensington Books via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* Confessions of a Royal Bridegroom is very bold, a great historical romance, with a mystery, reluctant romance, and a very strong and capable heroine. My Confessions of a Royal Bridegroom review: Confessions of a Royal Bridegroom is delightful on all counts! There is a very strong female character, Justine, and I really enjoyed Griffin a lot too. He’s giving the whole ton his middle finger, by actually owning and working a brothel, even if everyone knows that he is of royal descent. Most of the ton also owes him money, and so, when someone delivers a baby to his […]
