Brazen Ecstasy is the best of Janelle Taylor’s first four books in the “Ecstasy/Gray Eagle” series so far; not flawless, but very, very good. 5 Stars
Historical Romance Review: Climb the Highest Mountain by Rosanne Bittner
Frequent readers of Rosanne Bittner’s books know what they’re getting from her work. It’s all here in Climb the Highest Mountain (Savage Destiny Series Book #5): exceptional emotionalism, and rawness. 5 Stars
Historical Romance Review: Velvet Night by Jo Goodman
Velvet Night is a very pale sequel to Passion’s Bride/ The Captain’s Lady. Jo Goodman’s previous Zebra historical was far superior to this lukewarm romance novel. 2 Stars
