Historical Romance Review: Defy Not the Heart by Johanna Lindsey
Defy Not the Heart is a favorite of mine. It's a wonderful, funny, and romantic medieval historical romance by the late, great Johanna Lindsey. 5 stars Read more “Historical Romance Review: Defy Not the Heart by Johanna Lindsey”

Historical Romance Review: The King’s Pleasure by Shannon Drake
Shannon's Drake's (aka Heather Graham) The King's Pleasure is set amid the intense medieval backdrop of the Hundred Years' War and the Black Death.

Historical Romance Review: Hearts of Fire by Anita Mills

Posted on September 19, 2021May 21, 2022 By IntrovertReader No Comments on Historical Romance Review: Hearts of Fire by Anita Mills
Historical Romance Review: Hearts of Fire by Anita Mills
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 Read more “Historical Romance Review: Hearts of Fire by Anita Mills”

Historical Romance Review: An Offer of Marriage by Jo Ann Ferguson Review

Historical Romance Review: An Offer of Marriage by Jo Ann Ferguson Review
Books like Jo Ann Ferguson’s An Offer of Marriage suffer from being published during a time of change. When Kensington’s Zebra historical romances died, they didn’t go quickly (actually, Zebras are still around, but they’re not the same as they used to be in the 1980s and 1990s). 1 star Read more “Historical Romance Review: An Offer of Marriage by Jo Ann Ferguson Review”

Posted on July 17, 2021May 28, 2022 By IntrovertReader 3 Comments on Historical Romance Review: So Speaks the Heart by Johanna Lindsey
Historical Romance Review: So Speaks the Heart by Johanna Lindsey
It's fair to compare So Speaks the Heart (which should be subtitled: Medieval Norman Psychopath Falls for French Co-Dependent and Fellow Anger Management Classmate) to another of Johanna Lindsey's works, A Pirate's Love, which had a similar captor/captive trope. 4 stars Read more “Historical Romance Review: So Speaks the Heart by Johanna Lindsey”

Historical Romance Review: Blood Red Roses by Katherine Deauxville

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”

Historical Romance Review: Siren Song by Roberta Gellis
Siren Song, the first in Roberta Gellis' Medieval Song trilogy, takes us to 13th century England. Lady Elizabeth is not a beauty, but she is intelligent, capable, and now heiress to vast lands, with her brothers and father recently deceased. Elizabeth is married to Mauger, a cruel, murderous lord who wishes for nothing more than to aggrandize himself by whatever means necessary. Mauger has the looks of an angel yet the disposition of a demon. There is no deed too vile for him, as he eagerly breaks every Commandment. 4 stars Read more “Historical Romance Review: Siren Song by Roberta Gellis”

Historical Romance Review: Storm Maiden by Mary Gilgannon
Mary Gilgannon's Storm Maiden is a Viking historical romance novel about a captor and his captive set in medieval Ireland & Norway. It features a strong heroine, but the injured hero is too beta for my tastes. A 2 1/2 star read. Read more “Historical Romance Review: Storm Maiden by Mary Gilgannon”

Historical Romance Review: Tara’s Song by Barbara Ferry Johnson
Tara’s Song by Barbara Ferry Johnson is yet another middling Viking romance that disappoints. Written in the late ’70s at the height of the bodice ripper era, you’d expect this Viking romance to rapacious and fun, but I found it rather ho-hum. 2 stars Read more “Historical Romance Review: Tara’s Song by Barbara Ferry Johnson”

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 Read more “Historical Romance Review: The Innocent by Bertrice Small”

It's #stepbackSaturday. I know its almost 10:30 p.m. Saturday night on the East Coast. But it's still in time. I'm the type of person who'd be late for her own funeral! I've got 10 minutes until it's Sunday. Ever the procrastinator, here I am posting a #stepbacksaturday #romancecover. As you can tell from the flag in the back, this is a civil war #Romance. It's a rough era, but for some reason I like romance is set during this time. There's an extra layer of drama added to the #romance novel. It's #stepbacksaturday for a couple of more minutes, but I forgot to to post this #stepbackreveal last time I posted a #stepbackcover. Hello all! Happy weekend. I've been away for a while but I'm back with a new #stepbackcover for my #stepbacksaturday pic. Happy Friday everyone! I hope you all had a fulfilling week. I'm doing some spring cleaning, trying to yet again reorganize my #books. I don't have enough shelves so I put them in boxes. There must be a ton in the attic, because I'm missing couple of 100 books. I think I'm the only person who could lose track of that many! Here's a review for a steamy #HarlequinPresents from 1995, by the late #MirandaLee. It is #ThrowbackThursday and a tweet reminded me of my beloved #cat Boomer. If human beings can have soul mates, then Boomer was mine. This week on #sweetsavageflame we highlighted one of our favorite romance cover models, Michael O'Hearn @mikeohearn. We've accumulated over 50,000 views on our Sweet Savage Flame #bookblog and we couldn't be more happy and thankful! To all our readers and supporters, we can't say enough to show our appreciation.
