I just closed The Duchess Gamble and jumped right into this review. I knew if I waited longer it would be harder to write because once I've finished a review, the story is well and truly over.

Book Review: A Race to Splendor by Ciji Ware
Let me start by saying I loved this book. However, my timing for starting it left something to be desired. This is by no means the fault of the author. I blame my husband. You see just as the sun was setting while we were away for a conference he attended, he declared that the... Continue Reading →

Book Review: Flora Flowerdew and the Purloined Papers by Amanda McCabe
