Stormspell Anne Mather

Posted on April 19, 2021January 26, 2023 by IntrovertReader

Written in 1983, Anne Mather’s Stormspell was anachronistic even for its day. A sheltered heroine rescues an engaged shipwrecked Englishman. 4 1/2 stars

Rapture's rebel iris bancroft

Historical Romance Review: Rapture’s Rebel by Iris Bancroft

Posted on April 18, 2021November 10, 2022 by IntrovertReader

Rapture’s Rebel by Iris Bancroft is the first non-Viking historical romance set in Scandinavia that I’ve read. Sadly, it’s disappointing. 1 1/2 stars

Historical Romance Review: Silver Storm by Cynthia Wright

Posted on April 15, 2021April 13, 2023 by IntrovertReader

Silver Storm by Cynthia Wright would have been excellent if not for the slow start. However, once it gets there… Oh my. 3.5 Stars

Posted on April 14, 2021August 22, 2026 by IntrovertReader

Michael Butterworth’s (aka Janette Seymour) second entry into his Purity trilogy, Purity’s Ecstasy, is a tawdry, rollicking ride filled with just about every ‘ripper trope and then some. 3 1/2 stars
