AudioBook Review:Stars: 3 Narration 2 Story 3Book 7 in Elizabeth Hoyt’s Maiden Lane series is Darling Beast, Apollo’s story. I’m quite used to popping into the middle of a series, and most author’s do make the effort to give some background information to characters that are recurring, and t...
Loved it! Loved it. A bit too much anticipation for my taste but I got through it and loved every minute of it

Well ... What can I say. This is not my genre, but a friend gave it to me as a light read this week. The author's approach cracked me up: "It's 1737 because I say it is, bitches!" There's little attempt at period-appropriate language or other detail. "They wear gowns, stays and drop fall pants, t...
Artemis, orphaned and forced to live with her self absorbed first cousin as a ladies companion. Maximus, Duke of Wakefield, loses his parents at a young age and struggles with guilt over his parents death, his conscious, and the need for vengeance. While trying to help her twin brother, locked i...
Sorry, but I was bored. The main characters were both so idiotic and annoying that I had trouble finishing it.The author writes very good romances, but I think this one had too much mourning - if it was just one of them, then it would have been better, but both hero and heroine were getting over ...

I didn't care much for this Maiden Lane book. It was kind of a flip from the normal romances, for the heroine, Lady Beckinhall is the one to instruct Winter on the sensual arts, as he is a virgin! What? Having devoted his life to being the Ghost of St Giles and rescuing children from the streets,...
This was truly one of the best books I've read in a while. The only thing that truly bothered me about both this book and the first one of the series is the fact that the epilogue has nothing to do with the main characters. I understand that the story of Silence is being introduced and everything...
First I listened to the audiobook version. I'm not sure that it makes a difference but to some it might. I really enjoyed this book. In fact it's the best in the series so far. I enjoyed the first book, but the second was HORRIBLE. So I went into this book with very low expectations (expecting to...
I wasn't sure if I was going to like this book or not. However, that being said, I couldn't seem to put it down. There was something just intriguing enough to keep me reading. While I thought the names were a bit far fetched and out of the realm of other historicals, it was, in turn, rather refre...
