5 stars — This book delighted me from start to finish. Like, I can’t even tell you how much, it was just perfection for me. I always knew I was going to be fascinated by Pandora, but there was even more to her than I had been expecting. It’s strange how learning about one physical […]
4.5 stars — Well that was a whole heap of delightfulness, and while it gave me anxiety at times, it also gave me so much happiness and smiles and swoons and giggles too. It actually lived up to my expectations, and that is always a pleasant surprise! As always, I adored Mary Jane Wells as […]
3.5 stars — Once again I will preface this review by saying I don’t read a lot of historical romance…they are definitely outside my wheelhouse. But a few books in this series have been recommended to me, so I started at the beginning. The funny thing is, I really enjoyed myself, but I don’t think […]
3.5 stars — Let me preface this review by saying I don’t read a lot of historical romances…in fact, I read very few. I’ve read a few that I loved and wanted to expand my interests, but it’s not something I gravitate towards. So basically, if you’re a fan of this genre, maybe take my […]
3.5 stars — While I still enjoyed this book, I will admit I didn’t connect with it and get sucked in as much as I’d hoped. I think I’m likely to be pretty picky with my historical romances. I think I was thrown off by all the political things going on not quite in the […]
OVERALL: 3.5 stars — Solid anthology, but since I’m not much of a historical romance reader, I kind of didn’t give that last book a chance because I ran out of steam, you know? Also, the narrator was solid. I’d listened to another book by Ms. Eyre and wasn’t as impressed, but maybe I need […]
4 stars — You know what I love? The combination of Mary Jane Wells narrating Tessa Dare words. I’m not sure I can even explain it, but Ms. Wells brings out the fun and sass in Ms. Dare’s characters. Warning, in order for my review not to be slightly spoilery, I’m going to refer to […]
This book was just one giant soft porn. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoyed it for that alone. But the characters were one dimensional with little back story so I didn’t really connect to them in a deep level. Add to the fact that it was a short story anyway so we generally don’t get […]
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, […]
