Historical Romance Review: And Gold Was Ours by Rebecca Brandewyne

Posted on February 18, 2022May 2, 2022 By IntrovertReader 1 Comment on Historical Romance Review: And Gold Was Ours by Rebecca Brandewyne
Historical Romance Review: And Gold Was Ours by Rebecca Brandewyne
And Gold Was Ours is a sequel of sorts to Rebecca Brandewyne‘s Love, Cherish Me. I’d consider this more of a companion piece. While both novels have Brandewyne’s hallmark baroque-gothic atmosphere, And Gold Was Ours is not as dark and emotional as its predecessor. 3.63 stars Read more “Historical Romance Review: And Gold Was Ours by Rebecca Brandewyne”

Historical Romance Review: Angel in Scarlet by Jennifer Wilde

Posted on December 28, 2021May 2, 2022 By IntrovertReader No Comments on Historical Romance Review: Angel in Scarlet by Jennifer Wilde
Historical Romance Review: Angel in Scarlet by Jennifer Wilde
Angel In Scarlet isn't a bodice ripper. It's a Georgian-Era chick-lit. This is a hard one to categorize. It's not just a romance, but more of a heroine's journey through life and her relationships with several men she meets along the way. 4 stars Read more “Historical Romance Review: Angel in Scarlet by Jennifer Wilde”

Covers of the Week #19
Elaine Duillo was the undisputed "Queen of Historical Romance" covers. She was a giant in the competitive field of pulp fiction artwork, where women were few and far between. Duillo painted hundreds of book covers, was inducted into the Illustrators Hall of fame, and was the matriarch of a talented artistic family. She passed away on July 30, 2021, at the age of 93.

In the 1980s - 1990s, Melissa Duillo, later Melissa Gallo after her marriage, was a prolific historical romance cover artist, creating works for publishers such as Avon, Dell, Warner, Zebra, and more. While she and her mother no longer illustrate romance covers, Melissa Duillo Gallo is still involved in the art field as a painter. For the week starting Monday, July 19 to Sunday, July, 25, here are some lovely romance covers created by Melissa Duillo-Gallo. Read more “Covers of the Week #15”

Historical Romance Review: Once a Princess by Johanna Lindsey
Once a Princess was not one of my favorites by Johanna Lindsey. I'd put this in the unremarkable category with books like Glorious Angel and Tender is the Storm. Not her worst, by any means, but not her best either. 2 stars Read more “Historical Romance Review: Once a Princess by Johanna Lindsey”

Historical Romance Review: The Heir by Johanna Lindsey
Was this tepid, dull romance actually penned by Johanna Lindsey? The Heir was Lindsey's first book where I noticed a weird change. Previously, if there was a Lindsey I didn't like, it was due to a meandering plot or excessive fighting between the leads. There is friendship for sure in this one, but romantic isn't what I'd call the relationship between Duncan and Sabrina. 2 stars Read more “Historical Romance Review: The Heir by Johanna Lindsey”

Happy Friday everyone! I hope you all had a fulfilling week. I'm doing some spring cleaning, trying to yet again reorganize my #books. I don't have enough shelves so I put them in boxes. There must be a ton in the attic, because I'm missing couple of 100 books. I think I'm the only person who could lose track of that many! Here's a review for a steamy #HarlequinPresents from 1995, by the late #MirandaLee. It is #ThrowbackThursday and a tweet reminded me of my beloved #cat Boomer. If human beings can have soul mates, then Boomer was mine. This week on #sweetsavageflame we highlighted one of our favorite romance cover models, Michael O'Hearn @mikeohearn. We've accumulated over 50,000 views on our Sweet Savage Flame #bookblog and we couldn't be more happy and thankful! To all our readers and supporters, we can't say enough to show our appreciation. Hello everyone I hope you're having a lovely Sunday afternoon. Today's #stepbackreveal is Rosanne Bittner wildest dreams. The cover art by H Tom Hall has Montage of the couple posing, then in an Embrace, a picture of the villain, a stampede of cattle, the heroin playing piano, and a couple of Native Americans in the snow. That's a lot going on but somehow Tom at work. How time flies! April has always been a memorable month! I wasn't going to do a #stepbacksaturday post that the weather was so nice and I had to pick a couple of Hyacinths that were being strangled by bamboo so I figured the flowers would make for a nice picture. Happy #coverlustfriday! It's been a couple of weeks as April always seems to be the most hectic month of the year. Spring cleaning and holiday times I've gotten behind in my reading. Hope you're all doing well!
