Review taken from my Blog Post #106 in April 2011 - book borrowed from the library.It was a complete delight to get my hands on another Liz Carlyle book ... it didn't disappoint ... up to her usual standard with a 4 **** Star rating. Well written and witty, featuring yet again Mr Kemble, although...

Wow I enjoyed this second book in the FAC series much more than the first book. I really loved the heroine Anais, she was strong, funny and very witty, took zero crap from anyone and spoke her mind. The hero was really good too.The story line and plot was good, a little bit of kidnapping, and swo...

Rating: 7/10PROS: - Geoff’s an okay protagonist and generally a likeable character. I liked the character of Anaïs very much, though: not j...

Beautifully written. I loved the Indian mysticism, woven in with Drudic and Celtic legend, Christian and European history. This book really gives you the vastness and reach of the French and British colonial empires, the people and places that represented and what that meant for Victorian England...
"The Bride Wore Pearls" is not your run-of-the-mill romance novel! The heroine isn't your lily-white, fainting type of gal - Lady Anisha Stafford is an exotic, mix-raced (half English/Half Indian), smart, common-sense lady who doesn't really care what society thinks of her and her family. And the...
Something like a 2.5.Coming into this series on the third book did me no favors. Often, with historical romance series, it doesn't matter much when you start the series, but it felt like a lot had been established already in earlier books.With this book, things just seem to happen, without me bei...
This was a compelling, intense and passionate romance/mystery. The H/h are complex vividly drawn characters with a believable love story. The story is complex with a number of interesting supporting characters. The main characters must examine their assumptions about how the world works in pain...
Somehow, I'd never read Liz Carlyle before now. This was a grave mistake that I intend to keep on rectifying! What I Loved: Absolutely gorgeous, insight-laden prose and sharp dialogue. I was very pleasantly surprised by just how good a writer Carlyle is---certainly not a given in this particular ...
I enjoyed this book. Number #10 but very few overlapping characters, but I could be wrong. Impoverished Isabella tries to get a job as a governess, but she is just too beautiful. The Earl wants her as his mistress instead. A title that actually works!! She of course says no, but having no other p...

Wonderful story. The plot has certain similarities with 2 of Mary Balogh's stories - her early novel "A Chance Encounter" and a more recent novella called "Spellbound" (published in 2008 in "It Happened One Night") which is one of my all-time favourites of hers. The premise of all these stories i...
As you might guess from the title, this book revolves entirely around a Big Misunderstanding. It's one of those stories where the entire plot could have been avoided if the two main characters would have simply taken two seconds to have an honest conversation with each other.I tend to find these ...

Reviewed for THC ReviewsA Woman Scorned is yet another worthy effort from Liz Carlyle, but in my opinion, not the strongest of her novels that I have read to date. As with her other books, A Woman Scorned also contained an intriguing mystery element, this one involving the murder of the heroine's...
