Historical Romance Review: Once a Princess by Johanna Lindsey

Posted on By IntrovertReader 3 Comments on 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: Blood Red Roses by Katherine Deauxville

Posted on By IntrovertReader 4 Comments on Historical Romance Review: Blood Red Roses by Katherine Deauxville
Blood Red Roses is understandably a difficult book for some to enjoy. It could be nostalgia goggles on this one for me, plus a love for the glorious red stepback cover. Or it could be the vivid Middle Ages setting, my favorite time period. I read this Medieval romance by Katherine Deauxville (Maggie Davis) twice: once in middle school and then years later in high school, and was swept away in the story both times. 5 stars Read more “Historical Romance Review: Blood Red Roses by Katherine Deauxville”

Category Romance Review: Nelson’s Brand by Diana Palmer

Posted on By IntrovertReader No Comments on Category Romance Review: Nelson’s Brand by Diana Palmer
Nelson's Brand was my first and, so far, only foray into Diana Palmer's little corner of Romancelandia. Palmer has got a bit of a reputation in the genre as an author of ultra-macho, hairy-chested heroes and virginal, too-stupid-to-live heroines. 2 stars Read more “Category Romance Review: Nelson’s Brand by Diana Palmer”
