Posted on March 27, 2023March 28, 2023 by IntrovertReader

The heroine of Lord Carew’s Bride by Mary Balogh is a spinster who has put off romance but is searching for meaning in life. Through her chance encounter with the reclusive Lord Carew she finds friendship, love, and self-discovery. 4.5 Stars

Historical Romance Review: Hearts of Fire by Anita Mills

Posted on September 19, 2021November 11, 2022 by IntrovertReader

Hearts of Fire is a more satisfying sequel to the first installment of Anita Mills’ medieval romance series, Lady of Fire, than its second outing, Fire and Steel was. The forbidden romance between Richard and Gilliane de Lacey is stellar. 4 stars

uncommon vows

Historical Romance Review: Uncommon Vows by Mary Jo Putney

Posted on May 24, 2021October 20, 2023 by jdiazsweetsavageflame

I’ve read Mary Jo Putney’s Uncommon Vows several times and have always loved this passionate medieval story about obsessive love.

the heart remembers

Historical Romance Review: The Heart Remembers by Barbara Hazard

Posted on May 20, 2021April 19, 2023 by IntrovertReader

The Heart Remembers is Barbara Hazard’s sequel to one of the more poignant and beloved romance novels I’ve had the pleasure to read: Call Back the Dream. 4 stars

Historical Romance Review: Lady of Fire by Anita Mills

Posted on May 18, 2021November 10, 2022 by IntrovertReader

The action-packed and romantic medieval Lady of Fire by Anita Mills features one of the greatest villains ever in a historical romance novel. 5 stars

Historical Romance Review: Enchantress Mine by Bertrice Small

Posted on May 5, 2021November 10, 2022 by IntrovertReader

Despite some crazy scenes, the Bertrice Small Medieval Romance, Enchantress Mine, suffers from a too-perfect heroine and a dull hero. 2 1 /2 stars

winter's heat ennis

Historical Romance Review: Winter’s Heat by Denise Domning

Posted on April 20, 2021April 19, 2023 by IntrovertReader

A medieval romance that takes medieval life seriously is usually one I enjoy, but Denise Domning’s Winter’s Heat fell a bit flat for me. 2.5 stars
