Posted on By IntrovertReader No Comments on Historical Romance Review: Savage Rapture by Sylvie F. Sommerfield
This review is of Savage Rapture by Sylvie F. Sommerfield. Savage Rapture begins with two lovers parting company and for me, is great but not a 5-star read. More like a 4.25 or 4.5-star book. Read more “Historical Romance Review: Savage Rapture by Sylvie F. Sommerfield”

Historical Romance Review: Savage Obsession by Cassie Edwards

Posted on By Blue Falcon No Comments on Historical Romance Review: Savage Obsession by Cassie Edwards
This review is of Savage Obsession, book #1 in the “Chippewa” series by Cassie Edwards. From what I read of others' reviews of her books, there is no middle ground with Mrs. Edwards' work. Some love her, and others absolutely hate her. I’m kind of in the middle. Savage Obsession won’t make anyone a fan of Mrs. Edwards’ work who wasn’t already one. 2 stars Read more “Historical Romance Review: Savage Obsession by Cassie Edwards”
