I am partial to books by Jane Feather. She has a side of comedy to her that is unexpected in historicals. This one is a comedy of errors. Two people who don't own up to who they are, mostly because neither gives the other an opportunity to be frank. The secondary story about the babies farmed out...
Jasper Sullivan, Earl of Blackwater, and his twin brothers have been set a rakehell challenge by their sick and dying, elderly rogue of an Uncle. The stitch is that they must meet this challenge and be successful by their Uncle's standards in order to inherit any of his wealth and legacy. However...
I had recently read Feather's Bride Trilogy, and these are considerably older books, having been published in the late 1990s. I enjoyed them but the rather juvenile heroines had their limits. In this one, published in 2010, the heroine is only ten months shy of 21 and far more mature and independ...
I somehow ended up getting the middle book of the series. This is very unlike me as I'm neurotic about reading series in order. I don't think I'll bother to read the rest of the books, though, as this was downright dull. None of the characters interested me. They were dull as dishwater, as the sa...
The whole series was ok good, but I really thought that the overall trilogy arc was going to be about Liv's Aunt Sophie and Alex's mother. I thought when the letters that Sophie brought forth was going to be in code to discover how Alex was doing throughout his life. Since Harry was a code breake...
All the Queen's Players was actually better than I expected it to be. I'm not usually a fan of romances, so when this was given to me as a historical romance, I was skeptical. I guess the author usually writes romances, so this is automatically marketed as such, but there is little actual romance...
You know, I liked the first 2 of the 'Blackwater Brides' series... but in spite of an interesting premise i just could not get into this one. I didn't like how the heroine was thieving from her cousin, and being uppity and superior about it. Sure she had motivation, but it ended up lessening her...
Twelfth Night Secrets As I am a great fan of Jane Feather. I was sadly disapointed with this story. Harry and Julius are an interesting duo and as their relationship matures its enough to make you want to continue reading. .i think with alittle more adventure and alittle more steam it could mak...
I was a little disappointed to find this was a Regency, since Feather does so well with history and since I'm kind of Regency'd to death. However, this was still a breath of fresh air. The story starts when a man, pursued by enemies, breaks into an old, somewhat derelict residence to hide the m...
To escape the demons of his past, Hugo Latimer has been drowning his sorrows for more than a decade. When he arrives at his much neglected estate one day, it's to find a coach, a lot of luggage, a strange and diverse collection of animals, and a glowing young woman who looks like a more perfect v...

More Mind Candy I read this many years ago, but like all good mind candy, the memory doesn't linger and it is like reading it for the first time.Jane Feather wrote a series of books set during the concluding years of the Napoleonic wars. Violet deals with a young woman in the Spanish hills, dau...
Even though the type of romance between Judith Davenport and Marcus Devlin, the Marquis of Carrington is not my favorite, I still found VIRTUE to be an alluring and compelling novel. Marcus first encounters Judith and her brother Sebastian in a gaming hell in Brussels as he notices how they work...
2.5 stars. I love a heroine in pursuit and the heroine in this book was the one pursuing the honorable hero, but something just wasn't right. The hero was a little too dull, and the words of the villain "too gullible" for my liking, and the heroine a little too immature at the age of 16! Her anti...
I picked this up for $0.10 at my library's book sale, and I'm certainly glad not to have paid any more than that. I got through half, and I just can't bring myself to read any more than that. The blurb really doesn't give an idea of just how unlikeable I found the book.The first quarter was rathe...
This is really a little more like 3.75 Stars for me, but I'll go ahead and bump it up to 4. I was really looking forward to this book, I wanted to see what it took to finally get Olivia wrapped in the bonds of love and all that. This third book in the series was good, but I just didn't find mysel...
