Retro Friday Reviews is a feature hosted by Angieville where you basically review an older or underrated title on Fridays! I still can’t get over how funny the original cover of Manhunting by Jennifer Crusie is with the pronostache and all. THIS STATED, OMG Jennifer Crusie where have you been all my life?

A Rogue By Any Other Name Sarah MacLean Book Review
February 13, 2012
To me, the mark of a strong romance novel is when the book manages to make me feel ALL THE THINGS. A Rogue By Any Other Name by Sarah MacLean ran the gamut of emotions. It is a historical romance. Main character Penelope Marbury, a wealthy woman just shy of being a spinster. Penelope has a […]
