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

Historical Romance Review: Climb the Highest Mountain by Rosanne Bittner

Posted on January 30, 2023January 9, 2024 by Blue Falcon

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

Historical Romance Review: Velvet Night by Jo Goodman

Posted on January 23, 2023November 28, 2023 by Blue Falcon

Velvet Night is a very pale sequel to Passion’s Bride/ The Captain’s Lady. Jo Goodman’s previous Zebra historical was far superior to this lukewarm romance novel. 2 Stars

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.
