books

Jennifer Crusie, Strange Bedpersons (1994). This is the weakest of her books I've read, and I can't quite pinpoint why - partly it is too short for its plot, partly it deals in stereotypes (though that's part of the plot), but I think it comes down to I can't see the connection between the hero and the heroine.

Eloisa James, Your Wicked Ways (2004). One of her better, I thought.

Jo Beverly, The Stanforth Secrets (1989). Very plotty, with a fairly big hole caused by the unbelievable actions of a key character.

Jo Beverly, The Stolen Bride (1990). Again, so much intrigue that the actual roance was placed second. Melodrama central, though Beverly always could write.

Where are you finding these older Jo Beverley's? I've had next to no luck tracking down her traditional Regencies.

Public library. These are both Walkers, original, not reprints.
