captive angel pino

Historical Romance Review: Captive Angel by Deana James

Posted on February 24, 2022January 15, 2023 by IntrovertReader

Deana James’ romance Captive Angel was an emotional, turbulent Zebra Lovegram romance with a heroine who was forged in fire and a hero not worthy to lick her boots. One of the best non-romance romances 5 stars

Historical Romance Review: Raven by Shana Carrol

Posted on January 25, 2022November 1, 2023 by IntrovertReader

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

Category Romance Review: The Pirate and His Lady by Margaret St. George

Posted on October 6, 2021January 19, 2024 by IntrovertReader

Margaret St. George’s The Pirate and His Lady isn’t a historical romance, but a time-traveling adventure published through Harlequin’s American Romance line. The romance here is bittersweet, as most time travels romances are. 4 stars

Posted on May 21, 2021October 20, 2023 by IntrovertReader

Sweet Stolen Passion by Jolene Prewit-Parker is a Zebra historical Lovegram Romance that is, unfortunately, a disappointing read.

pirates angel pino

Historical Romance Review: Pirate’s Angel by Marsha Bauer

Posted on May 8, 2021October 20, 2023 by IntrovertReader

SPOILER ALERT ⚠ 5 Stars The Book First of all, I love the original Pirate’s Angel Zebra Heartfire cover, but man-oh-man, have you taken a look at the e-book version? Authors, why are you doing this to your books? Lots of folks love to mock old-school covers and Fabio, but there are e-book covers that…

Historical Romance Review: Sea Fires by Christine Dorsey

Posted on May 3, 2021November 11, 2022 by IntrovertReader

Sea Fires, a Zebra Lovegram by Christine Dorsey, features bookish yet feisty Miranda Chadwick as the heroine, who’s embarking on an ocean voyage home to the colonies. 4 stars

taken by you

Historical Romance Review: Taken By You by Connie Mason

Posted on May 1, 2021October 20, 2023 by IntrovertReader

This Connie Mason historical romance has a paint-by-numbers plot about a pirate seeking revenge against the Spanish only to fall for a Spanish beauty disguised as a nun.

Posted on April 15, 2021April 13, 2023 by IntrovertReader

Silver Storm by Cynthia Wright would have been excellent if not for the slow start. However, once it gets there… Oh my. 3.5 Stars
