Lord of Darkness by Elizabeth Hoyt is $1.99! This is book five in the Maiden Lane series, which I know is a favorite in the Bitchery. I’m up to book three and I’m enjoying it so far. I think there’s some consensus that the books can operate as standalones, but it’s best to read them in order. Would you agree?

When people come to me for historical recommendations I always tell them about the Maiden Lane series by Elizabeth Hoyt. Honestly, it’s my favorite historical series out there, and while the books are connected, they can easily be read as stand-alones, which makes it perfect for binge reading. Hold that thought because we’ve got a chance for one lucky winner to do just that. I love this series because it’s got a breathless pace. I … Continue reading Q&A and Giveaway: The Complete Maiden Lane Series by Elizabeth Hoyt – Plus an Exclusive Reveal!
RECOMMENDED: Darling Beast by Elizabeth Hoyt is $2.99! This book seven in the Maiden Lane historical romance series, and hinted at a Beauty & the Beast theme. Elyse and Redheadgirl did a join review of the book and gave it an A-:
Elyse: For me it’s a solid B+. It was a good read, but lacked the Beauty and the Beast storyline I really wanted. Also Plot Moppets. And questionable choices on Apollo’s part.
Oh, there are great sex scenes though!
So…maybe A-?
RHG: The sex scenes were great. I’d agree with the A-.
RECOMMENDED: This is Just My Face by Gabourey Sidibe is $2.99 at Amazon! This is a Kindle Daily Deal and isn’t being price-matched yet. Check out the other deals today; there are a few romances included! Redheadedgirl enjoyed this one and gave it an A:
This is a really interesting memoir by someone who I didn’t know much about. She’s got a complicated life story, and a great attitude as she sashays her way through her life. She’s funny, and touching. And, as ever, the inner lives of Black women are still not something that receives nearly enough attention.
Historicals, man. Like many a romance reader, historicals were my gateway drug. And like many a romance reader, the historicals of my youth are, in retrospect, very slightly wince-inducing. Violet eyes! Sixteen-year-old virgin heroines with improbably located hymens/no hymen due to an anachronistic fondness for riding astride! Masterful manly dudes with magic manly parts capable of bestowing multiple orgasms on said virgin heroines! Frequent use of the term “hoyden”! I wish I could say that, … Continue reading Duke of Sin by Elizabeth Hoyt
Once and Always by Julia Harper (Elizabeth Hoyt) is $1.99! We were just talking about forced proximity/inclement weather books, and this seems to fit the bill. Some readers loved the element of suspense in the story, but many found that this contemporary romance was trying to do way too many things at once. Have you read this one?
RECOMMENDED: Wicked Intentions by Elizabeth Hoyt is FREE! Elyse really enjoyed this book and gave it an A-:
Serial killer. And Ghost of St. Giles vigilante. And river pirate. And bondage.
If any or all of those things appeal to you, I’d really recommend this book. If you’re looking for a spicy historical, or one not focused around the glittering aristocracy, Wicked Intentions fits the bill. Aside from a few ball scenes, this book takes place among the working class of London.
It’s November here in Boston and the crispness of fall has very abruptly given way to the harsh unforgiving wind of winter. As someone with lots of hair and an extremely slight tolerance for winter temperatures, this is not the best time of year for me. I will often make hot drinks just to hold them in my hands in an effort to keep warm. And I’m more likely to drink that hot beverage if it has … Continue reading Covers & Cocktails: Some Like It Hot
RECOMMENDED: Duke of Sin by Elizabeth Hoyt is $2.99! Those looking to continue their Maiden Lane series reading (this is the 10th book in the series and features a hero many have waiting for) should snag this sale! Elyse gave this book an A:
If you love a hero with an ulterior motive, a man who is capable of doing dark and monstrous things to achieve his version of justice, then you’re going to love Duke of Sin.
