Category Romance Review: Wish on the Moon by Sally Wentworth

Posted on By IntrovertReader 2 Comments on Category Romance Review: Wish on the Moon by Sally Wentworth
Wish on the Moon by Sally Wentworth has gotten mixed to low reviews around the internet, but it's a romance I fully enjoyed. This is an unusual romance because technically, the heroine is "the other woman." She comes in and breaks up a seemingly happy engagement--and not just a random stranger's but her cousin's. 4 stars Read more “Category Romance Review: Wish on the Moon by Sally Wentworth”

Historical Romance Review: Raven by Shana Carrol

Posted on By IntrovertReader No Comments on Historical Romance Review: Raven by Shana Carrol
Raven by Shana Carol (aka Christina Savage, aka Mr. Kerry Newcomb & Mr. Frank Schaeffer) is a riveting bodice-ripper. It's a pirate adventure that features a kickass, resilient heroine whom I adore. It also stars a hero who isn't worthy to lick the underside of her shoes. This is one of those books I both hate and love and wavered for a long time what rating to give it. 3.49 stars Read more “Historical Romance Review: Raven by Shana Carrol”

Historical Romance Review: Dreaming of You by Lisa Kleypas

Posted on By IntrovertReader No Comments on Historical Romance Review: Dreaming of You by Lisa Kleypas
Dreaming of You by Lisa Kleypas features one of her most beloved characters, Derek Craven. Derek was previously seen in Then Came You, whose reserved hero, Alex Raiford, was more to my liking. This is a wonderful romance by the talented Kleypas where two people from contrasting social classes come together in love. 4 stars Read more “Historical Romance Review: Dreaming of You by Lisa Kleypas”

Historical Romance Review: Blood Red Roses by Katherine Deauxville

Posted on By IntrovertReader 4 Comments on Historical Romance Review: Blood Red Roses by Katherine Deauxville
Blood Red Roses is understandably a difficult book for some to enjoy. It could be nostalgia goggles on this one for me, plus a love for the glorious red stepback cover. Or it could be the vivid Middle Ages setting, my favorite time period. I read this Medieval romance by Katherine Deauxville (Maggie Davis) twice: once in middle school and then years later in high school, and was swept away in the story both times. 5 stars Read more “Historical Romance Review: Blood Red Roses by Katherine Deauxville”

Each person has their own unique limit of what they can or cannot tolerate in fiction. However, despite its absolute requirement for a happy ending, the romance genre can still be filled with deal-breakers for readers looking for a pleasurable experience that takes them away from reality for a few hours.
