Duke of Sin is number ten in the Maiden Lane series with no signs of slowing down. Before I go on, a few things I like about this series is that each book seems very different, which isn’t always the case with long romance series, and it is set in the 18th century rather than […]

Ex Libris Romance (59)
This very sexy book actually turned out to be a very emotional story about finding your place, even if it’s not where you thought it would be. Rita has lived in her mother’s shadow her whole life and now that she’s gone, Rita and her siblings want to fulfill one last wish. I love […]
Ex Libris Romance (58)
I loved this book and much of the source of my love was just the pure crazy of the plot. It basically involves a man pretending to be his twin brother in order to keep his brother’s widow from possibly losing the baby she carries. On top of that, as Edward pretends to be his […]
Ex Libris Romance (57)
A self-made Scottish hero and a hidden baby story – sign me up! I came across this as a recommended read and I really enjoyed it. Virginia is an American who is not your typical headstrong, going against the grain type of heroine. No, Virginia is a rule follower, which is how she ends up […]
Ex Libris Romance (56)
Ah, the ‘brother’s friend’ trope. It’s been used a lot and for good reason. It creates a history between two love interests (sometimes a bad one) and gives the chance for the ‘friend’s annoying younger sibling becomes desirable’ transformation. Along Came A Rogue was fun and held just the right amount of intrigue via […]
Ex Libris Romance (54)
Duke of My Heart was such a wonderful and refreshing historical romance. Where this genre used to be ruled by very young and inexperienced female protagonists, I am liking the trend I see of women with more complex histories being written into these books. While I love all historical romance, don’t get me […]
Ex Libris Romance (51)
I really loved this one! We see a lot of 19th century Scottish romance and a lot of pre-Culloden Highlander romance, but Sutherland’s Secret takes place in the time immediately following Culloden when it was very dangerous to identify with the Highlander way of life. To compound that danger, we have Eleanor, who is English, […]
Ex Libris Romance (50)
I ended up really enjoying this one. Without realizing it, I read the third book in this series, which center around three roommates and their romance shenanigans. Chase me is the first in the series, which introduces Roxy, who is your typical Jersey Girl; outspoken, string, and not taking crap from anyone. However, her dream […]

One thing I love about Sarah MacLean’s books are the heroines, who are always the right combination of romantic and unconventional for their time. Sophie is not exception. Her impulsive decision to leave town by hiding in a carriage that she thought was going back to her neighborhood. King was an interesting character as […]
Ex Libris Romance (46)
No one writes feminist romance like Victoria Dahl…I mean, no one. I am not a big erotica reader, but this book really blew me away. It combined a very emotional story with some blazingly hot sexy times. I loved Jessica, who did what she had to do to survive, and while she regretted how much […]
