Lord Savage by Mia Gabriel – Hot and Heavy Regency Romance

The plot or story is predictable enough, but it is what goes in between (er, pun intended?) that will keep you awake at night! Evelyn Hart is an American heiress. Even…

Susanna and the Spy by Anna Elliott: Review
Susanna and the Spy is an engaging historical novel that combines two of my favorite themes – mystery and romance.
