Historical Romance Review: The Heir by Johanna Lindsey
Was this tepid, dull romance actually penned by Johanna Lindsey? The Heir was Lindsey’s first book where I noticed a weird change. Previously, if there was a Lindsey I didn’t like, it was due to a meandering plot or excessive fighting between the leads. There is friendship for sure in this one, but romantic isn’t what I’d call the relationship between Duncan and Sabrina. 2 stars
Historical Romance Review: Halfway to Paradise by Emily Bradshaw
Halfway to Paradise by Emily Bradshaw wasn’t the worst book ever, but it was exceptionally dull. Only the stunning Elaine Duillo artwork for the cover saves this book from the garbage pile. 1.5 Stars
Historical Romance Review: Call Back the Dream by Barbara Hazard
Barbara Hazard’s Call Back the Dream is an excellent tearjerker of a Georgian romance. 5 stars
Historical Romance Review: Enchantress Mine by Bertrice Small
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
Historical Romance Review: The Magic of You by Johanna Lindsey
The Magic of You, Johanna Lindsey’s 4th novel in her Malory series, is a wonderful romance about a vixenish heroine in pursuit of her family’s hated enemy. 5 stars
Historical Romance Review: The Innocent by Bertrice Small
It was a bad sign that Bertrice Small’s The Innocent features one of her dullest covers ever. The lone positive was that it was designed as one last created by legendary artist Elaine Duillo for her dear friend Bertrice. 1 star
Historical Romance Review: Born to Love by Valerie Sherwood
Born to Love by Valerie Sherwood was a book about four generations of women hat reached great highs and very middling lows. 4 stars
Historical Romance Review: The Jacaranda Tree by Rebecca Brandewyne
The Jacaranda Tree was my least favorite of Rebecca Brandewyne’s historicals, mainly because it was almost a verbatim regurgitation of conversations, plot points, and love scenes from other book. 3 Stars
