Pirate. King. Realness. One of the many delicious plot points Kerrigan Byrne brings to The Duke With the Dragon Tattoo. I have dubbed Byrne Queen of the Historical Antihero and I adore her for it. I have been a fan of the Victorian Rebels series since I read The Highwayman and fell deeply in love … Continue reading Review: The Duke With the Dragon Tattoo by Kerrigan Byrne
**3.5 Stars** Caution: Do not start this book right before bed or you won't get enough sleep because you have to read it cover to cover. Speaking from personal experience. As a long time Katie Ruggle fan, I was highly anticipating Through the Fire. For the most part, Ms. Ruggle delivered. Kit, a petite, half … Continue reading Review: Through the Fire by Katie Ruggle

This was my first Julia London book and I can't say it will be my last, but I was disappointed by the execution of this romance. Immediately I was intrigued by a heroine in her 30s and a hero in his 40s. I enjoy reading about mature main characters especially historical romance. Our hero, Hamlin, … Continue reading Review: Tempting the Laird by Julia London
I personally believe there isn't enough western historical romance being published right now. I miss the days of Johanna Lindsey characters exploring a young American west. Ms. Sandas is filling a huge void with her new series and I could not be happier with the results. The pros: Ms. Sandas is really good at writing … Continue reading Review: The Gunslinger’s Vow by Amy Sandas
