Historical Romance Review: Waves of Passion by Casey Stuart

Posted on March 20, 2023November 28, 2023 by Blue Falcon

Blue Falcon reviews Waves of Passion by Casey Stuart, another subpar early-era Zebra historical. But at least it has a pretty cover! 1 Star

Historical Romance Review: Tazia’s Torment by Sylvie F. Sommerfield

Posted on March 6, 2023November 28, 2023 by Blue Falcon

Sylvie F. Sommerfield’s California-set bodice ripper Tazia’s Torment is not a bad book, but it’s not as good as it could have been. 3 Stars

Historical Romance Review: Brazen Ecstasy by Janelle Taylor

Posted on February 6, 2023January 9, 2024 by Blue Falcon

Brazen Ecstasy is the best of Janelle Taylor’s first four books in the “Ecstasy/Gray Eagle” series so far; not flawless, but very, very good. 5 Stars

Frequent readers of Rosanne Bittner’s books know what they’re getting from her work. It’s all here in Climb the Highest Mountain (Savage Destiny Series Book #5): exceptional emotionalism, and rawness. 5 Stars

Posted on January 16, 2023November 28, 2023 by Blue Falcon

Posted on December 19, 2022November 28, 2023 by Blue Falcon

This review is of Embrace the Wild Land, book #4 in the “Savage Destiny” series by Rosanne Bittner. It’s not my favorite book by Ms. Bitter, but it’s still darn good.

raptures rendezvous

Historical Romance Review: Rapture’s Rendezvous by Cassie Edwards

Posted on November 28, 2022November 28, 2023 by Blue Falcon

Rapture’s Rendezvous is not one of Cassie Edwards’ bests. The characters vacillate between whiny and likable in this historical romance. 2.5 Stars
