Gwen’s review of One Touch of Scandal by Liz Carlyle Historical romance released by Avon 28 Sep 10 Sybil and I were trying to figure out if this book was historical or paranormal.  We landed on “historical with important paranormal elements.”  How’s that for decision making?  Solidly in the middle. In spite of our collective [...]

Liviania’s review of Wicked All Day by Liz Carlyle Historical romance released by Pocket Star 22 Sept 09 Coming off the high of Tempted All Night, I had high hopes for Liz Carlyle’s Wicked All Day.  I enjoyed Zoë Anderson in that novel and looked forward to seeing her meet her Prince Charming.  While Wicked All [...]

Liviania’s review of Tempted All Night by Liz Carlyle Historical romance released by Pocket 17 Feb 09 Once you’ve read three or more books by the same author, you’ve made some decisions about what that author’s books are like.  Character or plot driven, good or bad at weaving an action plot with the romance, better [...]

Gwen’s review of Never Romance a Rake (Neville Family Trilogy, Book 3) by Liz Carlyle Historical romance released by Pocket 22 Jul 08 I enjoy breaking up my urban fantasy and contemporary reading with a nice, refreshing historical.  I tend to the “heavier” historicals and try to avoid “teh funny” as much as possible.  This [...]

Love this cover… I have to admit I wanted to know more about Zoë Armstrong when I finished Tempted All Night (another Liz C book I loved).  When I closed the book I went on a rereading binge and ran through about 4 or 5 faves before I had to stop. When I heard this [...]

You’re in for a treat today! Welcome to Duck Chat! Ohmyohmyohmy!  Squeeeeeeeeeeeee!  Kathryn Smith is here!!!!!

Before I start this – please remember I’m talking generalisations, about the zeitgeist. There are always exceptions to the rule, always exceptional people and situations, but citing their examples doesn’t make it the norm. Authors generally work with the fringes, with the exceptions, so there’s a real danger that they can become regarded as the [...]

Welcome to our very first Duck Chat! I’ve been wanting to do author interviews for a while now, but for one reason or another life never wanted to let me get started working on the idea.  I’m happy to say things have changed and you’ll be chatting with some terrific authors every now and then [...]

Shannon C.’s review of A Woman of Virtue by Liz Carlyle Historical romance released 27 Feb 01 by Pocket There are some books I like to gulp down, because they are exciting and quick and allow me to lose myself for a few hours. Then there are the books that slowly sink their hooks into [...]

Liviania’s review of Never Romance a Rake (Neville Family Trilogy, Book 3) by Liz Carlyle Historical romance release by Pocket Star 22 July 08 I doubt anyone who read the other entries in the Neville Family Series can resist Baron Rothwell’s story. But even those unfamiliar with the other two can enjoy this novel.  The plot [...]

Okay, so the awarding of these books is waaaay overdue. Mea Culpa, I plead too much sun. As you may remember, about a month ago we offered up 10 copies of each book in Liz Carlyle’s latest trilogy: Never Lie to a Lady, Never Deceive a Duke and Never Romance a Rake. Then it somehow [...]

Liviania’s review of Never Deceive a Duke (Neville Family Trilogy, Book Two) by Liz Carlyle Historical romance released by Pocket Star 24 Jul 07 In Never Lie to a Lady, Gareth acted the runner-up.  He loved the heroine and offered her a good marriage, but Xanthia just didn’t feel for him like she did Lord Nash.  [...]

Liviania’s review of Never Lie to a Lady (Neville Family Trilogy, Book 1) by Liz Carlyle Historical romance released by Pocket Star 19 Jun 07 Before reading the Neville Family Trilogy, I had no experience with Liz Carlyle. I recognized the name and knew Sybil was head-over-heels for the latest book, but I didn’t know [...]

Devon’s review of Never Romance a Rake (Neville Family Trilogy, Book 3) by Liz Carlyle Historical Romance released by Pocket 22 Jul 08 Liz Carlyle can always be counted upon to deliver. I haven’t read all of her books, but I have read a number of them. She writes great characters and passionate, romantic stories. [...]
