Historical Romance Review: The Frost and the Flame by Drusilla Campbell

Posted on By IntrovertReader 2 Comments on Historical Romance Review: The Frost and the Flame by Drusilla Campbell
Drusilla Campbell's The Frost and the Flame is one of those naughty bodice rippers where the heroine is separated for a long period of time from her true love, the dull, hero, and instead spends more time with the lusty, evil villain. This is the kind of bodice ripper I like: one that does not take itself seriously and knows how to throw crazy tropes at you, so you'll keep the pages turning, even if the story is not really romantic. 4 1/2 stars Read more “Historical Romance Review: The Frost and the Flame by Drusilla Campbell”
