With her 14th book, Lindsey was on a roll, writing blockbuster romance after blockbuster romance. Hearts Aflame was the sequel to Lindsey’s third book, Fires of Winter.

Historical Romance Review: Rapture’s Ransom (aka Not Quite Married) by Betina Krahn

Posted on August 29, 2022November 28, 2023 by Blue Falcon

This review is of Rapture’s Ransom by Betina Krahn.

The book begins in the South of England in 1787. It is here that Brien Weston, the heroine of the book, lives–a better term might be exists–with her father, Lord Lawrence Weston, the sixth Earl of Southward. The relationship between father and child is strained and becomes even more so when Lawrence, after a trip to France, announces he has affianced Brien to a man, Raoul Trechard, whom she has never met. 4 stars

McKenna, Paula Moore, Fancy DeWitt, Patricia Matthews, Jonathon Scofield, Lee Davis Willoughby, and Kit Dalton. Have you read any Robert Vaughan romances?

midnight fires carol finch

Historical Romance Review: Midnight Fires by Carol Finch

Posted on May 16, 2022November 28, 2023 by Blue Falcon

This review is of Midnight Fires by Carol Finch. This Zebra historical romance set during the war of 1812 is a typical Carol Finch book. It’s very good, but lacking the dynamic qualities to make it great. 4 stars

shanna

Historical Romance Review: Shanna by Kathleen E. Woodiwiss

Posted on May 7, 2022February 27, 2023 by IntrovertReader

In 1977 Kathleen E. Woodiwiss’ long-awaited third novel made romance history. I’ve had a tenuous relationship with Woodiwiss’ romances, but I am glad I read Shanna. 3.74 stars

these golden pleasures

Historical Romance Review: These Golden Pleasures by Valerie Sherwood

Posted on April 22, 2022November 11, 2022 by IntrovertReader

What can I say about Valerie Sherwood’s These Golden Pleasures? Well, this 512 page epic starts out wonderfully but then falters then lags in the middle, and is rushed at the end.
