REVIEW: The Runaway Duke by Julie Anne Long

Book CoverGwen's review of The Runaway Duke by Julie Anne Long
Historical romance released by Warner Forever 1 Aug 04

This book was in a large, unsorted pile that Sybil gave me. It's signed by the author and I think it's actually a prize for an old contest (ahem - Zara). Honestly, we're not usually this disorganized around here - but in this one instance, I'm awfully glad we were.

Book CoverLawson's Review of The Perils of Pleasure by Julie Anne Long
Historical romance released by Avon January 29, 2008

Julie Anne Long's first novel with Avon shows a lot of her trademark flowing and elegant style as well as her wit and charming characters. A historical novel, that is most likely part of a series, though I'm not sure. It seems as though it could be. Family feuds, childhood dreams, dramatic escapes and unraveling a mystery are all involved in this tale. Read more
