Historical Romance Review: Captive Heart by Phoebe Conn

Posted on November 21, 2022November 28, 2023 by Blue Falcon

Historical Romance Review: Once a Princess by Johanna Lindsey

Posted on June 22, 2021November 10, 2022 by IntrovertReader

Once a Princess was not one of my favorites by Johanna Lindsey. I’d put this in the unremarkable category with books like Glorious Angel and Tender is the Storm. Not her worst, by any means, but not her best either. 2 stars
