Nine Rules to Break When Romancing a Rake by Sarah MacLean
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

First, I have to say that this is one of the better historical romances that I've read. Sarah MacLean didn't write Callie as your typical historical romance character, and that was very much appreciated. By ton standards, Callie was an overweight spinster, and they had no problem letting her know it. Ugh! Luckily, Callie, although having some insecurities, thought enough of herself to go out and start living her life, and not allow herself to live vicariously through her younger sister. Callie was smart, classy, attractive, and intelligent; cautious one minute, and adventourous the next! Ralston, although having a reputation as a rake, was an honorable and perceptive gentleman- a perfect match for Callie!

Warrior by Zoe Archer


So, I finished reading it. I'm torn between giving 4 or 5 stars (big difference, right!). Because of my new schedule this month, I had to keep picking it up and putting it down, when I would've rather read it one or two sittings- to keep the momentum going. Instead, everytime I picked it up, it seemed that Capt. Huntley and Thailia were staring at each other, and having inappropriate thoughts about each other again. I grew tired of them making goo-goo eyes at each other after a while, and of Gabriel's frequent comparison of Thalia to the typical englishwoman. That said, I loved the hero, the setting, and the action! I haven't read many paranormal/historical romances, but none them have taken place outsided of the UK. Plus, with all of Lisa Kay's pics, I had some really good images in my head while reading. Of course I think Warrior should be made into a movie; how could I not?! While reading it, I kept thinking "this is like a 19th century combination of the Indiana Jones and Tomb Raider movies."
