Me da una rabia enorme tener que puntuar de esta forma. Porque la historia prometía mucho, y los personajes tienen una pinta estupenda, pero la traducción es TAN SUMAMENTE HORRENDA que echa a perder todo el libro, así, tal cual. Me parece una auténtica vergüenza que una editorial se permita sacar...
This new book by Katharine Ashe was excellent. I really enjoyed this book. It's about a Scot and a Lady. Of course the scot is Lord Leam Blackwood who has been a secret agent for the Falcon Club. He has returned after five years of service and retire to his home in Scotland. He only wants to leav...
Katharine Ashe is quickly becoming one of my go-to authors. She has captivated me again with this rich novel of a desperate, brave and guarded woman on a quest to seek answers who encounters a demanding piratical merchant ship captain/former navy captain/aristocrat. They are drawn to each other ...
3.5Back in May, I read a book called Wired for Story. It changed how I read (and write) stories. What it talks about is ultimately what I find Katharine Ashe's books to be lacking: a deeper understanding of character motivation.The reason motivation -- often found in a life-changing event in the ...

DNF.Okay, so this story pressed the bonds of believability for me. The heroine is a the captain of a shi, a privateer (legal pirate) for America. How does she treat her pirate crew? She reads them stories and treats them like a mother treats her little boys. And her men are all so besotted with h...

I always love finding a smart historical romance, and this one definitely was. The twisty plot was well thought-out and suspenseful. Loved the use of India, both as an early backdrop and part of the mystery that was unfolding. Also, props for the deft portrayal of the nobility's attitude towards ...

This is Wyn's story and my favorite so far of the series. Ms. Ashe aptly describes Wyn's problem with alcohol (something seen in earlier books) and what happens to him because of the alcohol. Diantha has worshipped him for years-he was nice to her when she was young, chubby and had acne. She i...

My favourite story was Miranda Neville's the School of Wooing for Inept Book Collectors. I read this before and liked it enough but re-read it after reading the 1st,2nd and 4th book of the Burgundy Club series and enjoyed it so much better since now I knew who the secondary characters were and un...
Popping her eyes open, she reached out with both arms, searching, hoping, praying. But she did not need to feel the mattress, flat and cool beneath her palms, to know the man she had gone to bed with was not now beside her. She did not need to see it. &nb...
By the time they were free to change their own clothing, the light in the rainy sky was failing. Patricia donned her white muslin gown threaded with silver embroidery and pearls, and arranged her hair carefully with combs. “This dress is inappropriate for this weather,” sh...
He could not be still. He had washed the Irishman’s blood from his hands and changed clothing, but it mattered little. The animal inside him could wear a diadem and ermine and he would still be nothing more than an animal. Alex entered and closed the door behind him. His brow was sober. “He will ...
The prince himself and a bevy of servants waited upon them. She was unneeded. Unlike Arielle Dijon, she could not bear to sit in the drawing room with the others before dinner, remaining modest and demure while the gentlemen, Lady Margaret, and the duchess speculated on th...
But Minnie was. And Adela. And Esme. And the grocer’s eight-year-old errand boy, Sprout. Seraphina had sent a note to the shop that morning, informing Elle that the captain would be collecting her early in the evening for the final fitting. They would all leave for the bal...
In an instant he beat her blade aside, then he paused as though he meant to halt. But she dove at him again, lunging when he retreated, driving forward. He parried easily. She advanced again, and his parry deflected her blade, but he did not counterattack. Again she thrust her arm forward, and ag...
The day was cool, the sky blue, and the horse reveled in the pleasure of his freedom from the confines of travel. If only shaking off a difficult experience were so simple for a man. Difficult. Complicated. Exasperating. Mystifying. Just like the wo...
