4.5 stars — Wow, it’s so hard to decide, but I think this was my favourite of the 3 so far! Still absolutely adored Mary Jane Wells as the narrator. She’s so consistent with her voices, with distinguishing between thoughts and dialogue, and she NAILS both the humour and the emotion of our characters. Penny was […]
4.5 stars — I can’t decide if I liked this book more than the first, or just the same? I think I might have enjoyed it even more!! Which is yay!!! Mary Jane Wells continued to do a fabulous job with narration. I occasionally found it hard to determine the speaker, specifically because she would […]
4.5 stars — I’m not a historical romance reader…I just don’t gravitate towards it. But damn, I am definitely putting Tessa Dare on my list of “always take a chance on her”!! I LOVED this one!

3.5 stars — I have not read the first book, Axios, so I can verify this one can be completely read as a standalone. From the reviews, it sounds like there’s a LOT of repeat, instead of just a few fill in the gaps scenes from a different POV. Which makes it great for those […]

So far it hasn’t really diverted from the original that much, which isn’t a bad thing per say, but I like to see a bit of variety in my re-tellings. Its started to get good. Its just very slow moving. Once we figured out the Elle was really a super secret spy for the crown, […]
OVERALL: 4 stars — Holy cow!! Dudes, I *don’t read* historical romance. Which is why it was a mystery why I accepted this NetGalley widget. But this is the best anthology I think I’ve ever read! Usually there are a few stories that just don’t work for me, but while one was just all right, […]
