Harlequin Historical

sun woman mckenna

Historical Romance Review: Sun Woman by Lindsay McKenna

Posted on May 3, 2023May 8, 2023 by IntrovertReader

Sun Woman, a Harlequin Historical by Lindsay McKenna, features a wonderful Native American heroine and an equally excellent American soldier who come together despite a world that seems determined to keep them apart. 4.5 Stars

Historical Romance Review: The Silver Link by Patricia Potter

Posted on April 16, 2022November 11, 2022 by IntrovertReader

Harlequin Historical #63 In Patricia Potter’s The Silver Link, Antonia and Tristan are from two different worlds, but their love unites them in a link that can never be severed

stranger in my arms george jones

Historical Romance Review: Stranger in My Arms by Louisa Rawlings

Posted on January 23, 2022January 15, 2023 by IntrovertReader

Harlequin Historical #90 Stranger in My Arms by Louisa Rawlings is a book I’ve read many times, and I love it more today than ever. Absolute perfection. 5 stars

highland fire ireland

Historical Romance Review: Highland Fire by Ruth Langan

Posted on August 27, 2021November 11, 2022 by IntrovertReader

Highland Fire is the third of Ruth Langan’s MacAlpin clan Highland series originally published as Harlequin Historicals. The first two books were Highland Barbarian, about sister Meredith, and Highland Heather was middle sister’s Brenna’s tale. This book tells the story of the youngest MacAlpin sister, Megan, and her romance with an Irish renegade, Kieran O’Mara. 3 1/2 stars

Highland Heather

Historical Romance Review: Highland Heather by Ruth Langan

Posted on July 29, 2021November 11, 2022 by jdiazsweetsavageflame

Ruth Langan’s Highland Heather is the sequel to her previous Scottish romance, Highland Barbarian. I liked this Harlequin Historical much more than its predecessor. Why? I enjoyed the conflict between the hero and the heroine and the English setting, plus introducing Queen Elizabeth I to a story always makes things interesting. 4 1/2 stars

tender feud

Historical Romance Review: Tender Feud by Nicole Jordan

Posted on May 25, 2021October 20, 2023 by jdiazsweetsavageflame

Tender Feud by Nicole Jordan is one of the better Scottish clan feuding & kidnapping love stories I’ve read. 4 1/2 stars

Wicked Stranger rawlings

Historical Romance Review: Wicked Stranger by Louisa Rawlings

Posted on May 15, 2021November 11, 2022 by IntrovertReader

Harlequin Historical #157 Wicked Stranger by Louisa Rawlings is the sequel to my all-time favorite books, Stranger in My Arms, and features a great hero.

highland barbarian ruth langan

Historical Romance Review: Highland Barbarian by Ruth Langan

Posted on May 13, 2021October 20, 2023 by IntrovertReader

Highland Barbarian by Ruth Langan is a solid start to her series about the Mac Alpin clan, but it is not as exciting as the rest of the sequels are. 3 stars

the yankee max ginsburg 1990 Kristin James

Historical Romance Review: The Yankee by Kristin James

Posted on April 29, 2021August 31, 2023 by IntrovertReader

Harlequin Historical 5#7 In Kristin James’ (aka Candace Camp) The Yankee, Andrew Stone is a former Union soldier now living in Texas.

healing touch gill

Category Romance Review: Healing Touch by Judy Gill

Posted on April 23, 2021November 28, 2023 by IntrovertReader

Judy Gill’s Loveswept #605, Healing Touch, had a rather memorable start as the heroine, Heather, bungee jumps naked.
