So after we tore apart Fabio’s Viking, I decided to see what his ghostwriter, Eugenia Riley, could do when not hampered by Fabio’s weird cholesterol fetish. The result was… not pretty. But I couldn’t do this review on my own, so I called in some help. Jeremy Renner. BECAUSE HIS FACE. You’re WELCOME, Bitchery. First off, this fucking ebook was typeset in COURIER. COURIER. So the premise is that we have Missy, a modern woman … Continue reading Tempest in Time by Eugenia Riley→

Kyra and I were emailing regarding her review, and I asked her what Tudor romances she recommends as the “best ever.” She says, “I don't have a “best ever” Tudor romance or author yet … I'm only recently embracing the sub-genre, which is still a rare cat compared to Regency.” The devil you say! I remember reading more Tudor romances years ago, but then, Blaze Wyndham (SB Grade: B+) was one of two books I brought … Continue reading GS vs STA: Tudor Romance→
Kyra Kramer and I were emailing about Tudor romances, specifically one she really enjoyed, as she's a student of the Tudor era. She sent me this review to share with y'all. I hope you like it. My name is Kyra Cornelius Kramer and I like romance novels. I like them so much I write academic essays about them. I have also done academic work in history, particularly King Henry VIII, including a book about the … Continue reading In a Treacherous Court, by Michelle Diener: A Guest Review by Kyra Cornelius Kramer→
Vera is searching for book she first encountered on vacation many years ago: On to business. Sadly, I didn't read a lot of romance novels when I was a kid. I still don't, in fact; in my moments of weakness I find there's a lot of, erm, well-written fanfiction to see me through (holla, “Fitzwilliam Darcy, Gentleman” trilogy. I read ALL of you back when you were still archived at pemberley.com…). Anyway, this is a … Continue reading HaBO: She Didn’t Get to Finish the Book→
Melanie is looking for this book, and she can only remember one of the subplots. But, boy howdy, what a subplot it is: There is a book that I have been looking for for what seems like forever! I “borrowed” it from my mother during the early to mid-90s. I remember absolutely nothing about the main plot (which has obviously been a bit of a hindrance when it comes to finding the book!). I loved … Continue reading HaBO: That is One Hell of a Subplot→
Brandy is looking for this book, and first I thought it might be The Lion's Lady, which is far and away my favorite Julie Garwood novel, and then I thought it might be a novelization of The Phantom of the Opera, but I don't think I'm right on either count. Do you recognize this book? I have done every Google, Biblio, Amazon, and other on-line search known to man. I even bought this software program that is … Continue reading HaBO: Don’t Mess with the Heroine When she has a Wineglass→
