Reviews

[Roberta · Rating 4 out of 5]

More traditional regencies. No wild gimmicks but good stories. "Azeala" by Brenda Hiatt features an American heroine and an English hero. "The Cyprian's Sister" is a case of mistaken identity story. I would give "The Cyprian's Sister" the slightly higher rating. Lots of verbal sparring and witty back-and-forth but more sex is suggested than is actually shown.

I didn't find either of the books included in this one very believable. In each case, I didn't understand the actions or the lack of actions of the main characters. They offended my sense of logic in order to get the story a particular way, something I don't care for. Make the story make sense. That is my first requirement.
