Alas, My Love

I’ve read Edith Layton on and off over the years, and Alas, My Love is probably going to be one of her stories that I’ll remember, besides The Gilded Cage.
 
 

This book brings together two lost souls – foundlings who felt adrift despite having achieved material success, of sorts in their adoptive world. Amyas St. Ives […]

Heeding the siren call of books

I probably should finish the new books piling up on my shelf before I add any more to it. But when I trooped into the bookstore after my daughter, who’s been following Daisy meadows’ Rainbow Fairies (or is it Magic?) series, last Friday, I couldn’t resist the siren call of these fantastic finds:
 
 

The Prophecy of […]

Thrilling to Candice Hern

Ever since I read a synopsis of Candice Hern’s In The Thrill of the Night months back, I’ve promised myself that I’ll get the book and read it.
 
 

 
Well, I finally got my hands on a copy and read it last week. Candice has done a great job with the plot development and characterization. Through young […]

The Rogue Report

The moment I picked up The Rogue Report by Barbara Dawson Smith, I had a feeling this book would be an interesting read.
Just the plot angle alone – an impoverished Earl disguises himself as a Maths teacher to investigate the principal of a charity school, the supposedly disgraced Lady Julia and an unwed mum, whom […]

Entering The Charmed Sphere

October is going down as my favourite reading month because not only did I have a pleasant time traipsing down memory lane re-reading some of my old faves, but I had a fabulous time reading new-to-me authors not just in the romance genre, but in my other favorite genre – Fantasy, this month’s theme for […]

WebWatch Night: Take a look at me now

It’s the night I go ‘site’ seeing again, and it seems quite a number of book bloggers have been getting sleek new looks, myself included.
 
The one who caught my eye, I mean, really stop and take another look is Kristie’s blog.

 
Lucky Kristie has Mailyn giving her a make-over, and wow, she’s a gorgeous Lady in […]

Encountering The Pirate Lord

I could barely tear myself from the pages of Barbara Dawson Smith’s The Rogue Report to review Sabrina Jeffries’ The Pirate Lord, so this will be real short and sweet.

 
 
 
 
To be honest, I was nearly put off by the cover, so typical of those tacky ones of yore. Another point that didn’t work in its […]
