2.5 really. it's not horrible, but it's kind of... weak. it bothers me that it has some great key points (the way the engagement was announced! the fortune games! the love triangle!) but none of these were really explored and did not fulfill their potential. as a result, the relationship between ...
This story was a bit hard to get into at first, which is one of the reasons it's only getting four stars. The other reason is Brandon and his absolutely ridiculous, stick to the rules, honor BS. He's a freaking double duke and he acted as if he was powerless and... GAH! Thinking of all his stupid...
It started out nicely, interesting in fact. But as the story goes, it became irritating. The heroine is constantly being contrary to what she say now and what she will say later. For instance, she's being guilty for Clarissa, thinking to not starve for Lord Bradon but scanning the crowd for a gli...
This is a sweet story.I did think Annabelle's acts were a bit silly, and I didn't like the scene that she climbed the tree to get into his room. It was ABSURD. Knightly was definitely a nodcock. He shouldn't notice Annabelle after she lowered her bodice.Though I wasn't satisfied with Knightly, An...
It's rare, giving a silly little romance novel five stars. FOR IT'S GENRE, it certainly deserves those five stars. I laughed, and laughed, and then laughed some more. Anything that can make me laugh so much and laugh OUT LOUD is worth recommending to everybody out there. It's not deep and meaning...
This was a wonderful read in the series. Though it could work as a stand alone as with her other books I feel the reader would enjoy it more if they were to have read the first two in the series. What can I say about the Duke of Wycliff? A mysterious rogue, handsome, rugged, wickedly tattooed and...

And a writing girl who goes undercover as a maid in his household staff to uncover the mystery behind this foreign man for her gossip column. They develop a camaraderie that’s a little unbelievable for a duke and his house maid, ...
It pains me to give three stars. I started this series with the last book and LOVED, LOVED, LOVED it. This one was just ok. I enjoyed both characters, and their dynamic with one another was great, there was just something missing to really grab my attention and keep me reading. It took me muc...
Review for the story: The romance is fluffy, brainless fun. But like waking from a dream, if you stop for one second to think about the logic, it completely falls apart. The logic of the characters' actions... is pretty terrible. How did they explain the proposal video coming after the Facebook ...
This is positively exquisite. The best of the series. Readers everywhere will swoon over John Roark.Lovely young Prudence, the third wallflower, has lived with a secret for years: she had been raped. (IVE don't think this is a spoiler, its the first chapter.). She never told anyone, for fear of ...

All of London is raving about the newly arrived American, Emilia Highhart. She has beauty, charm, wit, and a hint of the exotic. Unfortunately, grace is decidedly not one of her virtues. Staircases, doors, even floors have proven her enemies, often leaving Emilia prostrate and mortified in a pile...
It reminds me of the moment before our kiss—which has not been repeated, alas. Alas? Lady Bridget’s Diary If Bridget had any doubts about Rupert’s feelings or intentions for her—and she did, given that he had been scarce and distracted of late—th...
Derek Knightly with a passion and purity that would be breathtaking were it not for one other simple truth—Mr. Derek Knightly pays no attention to Miss Annabelle Swift. It was love at first sight exactly three years, six months, three weeks, and two days ago, upon Annabelle’s first foray into the...
He gathered that his presence in her house had to do with the bandage on his arm. There was singing in the street, he recalled with a lazy smile. The gunshot was remembered less favorably. Clearly, he had caused a scene. Little by little details returned to him as he drank his coffee. After he’d ...
This time, when he called on the Cavendish family, Alistair was ready. It had become clear to him that in order to win Amelia’s heart, he would have to gain the approval of her family. Having grown up without much family to speak of, he longed to join the ranks of the Cavendish clan, and yet they...
Squinting at the strange, soft, silken light, he realized that it was morning, and he could not recall the last time he had seen morning light. To him, it was something to be shut out by heavy velvet drapes and slumbered through after a long night spent drinking, gaming, and wenching. He blinked ...
There was lust—pure, scorching, molten lust. An outrageous craving to touch his bare skin, nibble his lower lip, or rock her hips in time with his as he thrust deeply into her… Yes, she felt lust. Then she remembered the wager, and she felt anger. Surely she was worth more than fifty pounds! &nbs...
