This is the fifth book in the Penneyroyal Green series, which is focused on 2 wealthy, powerful famines in a small Sussex community with a decades - long grudge match between them. Each book in this series has characters that are uniquely quirky. The female leads, especially show strength of cha...
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWN!!!!! Alex and Genevieve are such a cute couple!!!!There was two things I didn't like it: Harry and Genevieve and the issues with the age gap between the main characters. Harry was plain stupid (I'm sorry to break it but he really was) and the age difference between Al...
Julie Anne Long is at her best, in my opinion, when she is writing the book equivalent of a bottle episode. She has quickly become one of my favorite authors, but I do have my minor (and occasionally not minor) quibbles with her Pennyroyal Green series. I didn’t care for the first book (I feel li...
Julie Anne Long has a talent for pairing two unlikely characters who just happen to be perfect for each other. And I like that. I like it a lot.Though you know how authors have their writing quirks? All authors have them, I think, myself included. Well, as far as I can tell, the Pennyroyal Green ...
Phoebe Vale is a teacher at a girls finishing school. Shes quiet, her life revolves around her girls at the school and not glamorous at all. But shes kind and has a wicked wit. The Marquess Dryden, Julian Spenser, is an aristocrat who is cold and ruthless and surrounds himself with the best of ev...
This was by far one of the funniest historicals I've read in some time. I did find myself suddenly laughing a few times throughout the book. This was such a heartwarming story, yes it was a bit wordy and long-winded at times, but it definitely makes for better insight into the characters. At firs...
Favorite quotes:He stared. She didn’t notice. Nor did anyone else, such was the crowded ballroom and Mile’s lifelong ability, despite his considerable height, to be more scenery than seen when he chose.Perhaps one thought in geysers of clichés when one fell in love.She’d been wearing green when h...
I'm developing a sincere appreciation for this author's ability to make me like her characters, because in the beginning I sometimes don't. Violet is impetuous, determined, spoiled, and passionate. Asher, the Earl of Ardmay is arrogant, ruthless, and equally determined. He doesn't know much ab...
Every time I see or think of I Kissed an Earl, it's to the tune of Kate Perry's I Kissed a Girl. And I shan't feel bad for making the comparison.Because Violet kisses an earl. And she likes it.There wasn't any cherry chapstick, though. But a cherry did get popped... I get ahead of myself.Anyway. ...
That handsome preacher and cousin to the Eversea's we've been teased with in other Pennyroyal Green books finally experiences temptation when he meets Eve a notorious widow. Adam has always been even keeled, controlling of his emotions and an excellent pastor. His days are filled with his paris...
All I can say after reading this book is , I HAVE NEVER BEEN more JEALOUS of a female heroine book character in my LIFE!!!! The Countess /heroine in this book is actually a well written protagonist BUT , I don't think she came close to deserving the DIVINE VICAR Adam Sylvaine. I devour every sing...
Novíssimo livro da Julie Anne Long, lançado há umas duas semanas. O sétimo na série Pennyroyal Green, mas como sempre, você não precisa ter lido nenhum outro. Essa autora já é uma das minhas favoritas de todos os tempos! Vocês devem ter percebido no meu histórico de leitura.Ela é tão boa, mais tã...
Out of the three I have read in the series, this wasn't my favorite, but I did still enjoy it. The mystery was fun to try and figure out, and I thought all of the fake names were pretty great. This actually reminded me a little of a Sebastian St. Cyr book, what with the traipsing all around Londo...
Favorite quotes:Chase realized then that he’d inadvertently barked a command rather than a question. Habit of intonation. He immediately forgave himself.“She would plummet to earth and land face first in a cow pat with wings like those.” Chase was irritated. “They would need to be at least three ...
The story clipped along, and I liked the characters pretty well. However, Ian Eversea is a lot like his brother Colin (from Pennyroyal Green #1), and the characters in general were somewhat predictable. I also found myself annoyed by how much the author emphasized the main character's virginity. ...
