A Gentle FeudingJohanna Lindsey
Loved it

i actually had a lot of fun with because the heroine is like kidnapped a bunch and the hero is like obsessed with her and it's really fun because his brother actually kidnaps her

this one is a classic medieval historical and he kidnaps her in order to get retaliation i think against her father and she tries to run away there is animal death in here though which made me really sad when i read it but i found this one very entertaining i liked it

A Pirate's LoveJohanna Lindsey
Not a fan

a pirate's love was awful i could not stand this book the entirety of the book was non-consent and any consensual scene was skipped over and i was like why do we have to see the non-consensus over and over again

i really liked it but this plot is absolutely bonkers so all of these i really liked but this is the one that's like in between really liked in bonkers because so much happened in this plot

A Rose at MidnightUnknown
Mixed

i really wanted to like it because the premise sounded really good because i think one of them kidnaps the other it was but then we kept on getting this plot of the other couple going after them and i was like i don't care about these people give me the main couple and so i just like didn't love it as much as i wanted to

DesireAmanda Quick
Not a fan

this one was so boring i feel like it was like a island that they owned called desire and something happened and this guy came in again i can't even remember the plot

Devil's BrideStephanie Laurens
Loved it

it was really fun i really liked it and he definitely is someone who's like touch her and you die i will break down doors for her i love that i love that part

the hero suffers a stroke and the heroine takes over taking care of him because he's initially put into an insane asylum and treated so poorly i really liked the heroine taking her time and trying to see what he was capable of and him being able to communicate and live again it was just really good i really liked it

Gentle RogueJohanna Lindsey
Loved it

i had a lot of fun with this one this one was one of the first ones that i read because i really love pirate romances and people told me to read this one as a pirate romance she actually does dress up as a boy and he knows she's a woman

IndigoBeverly Jenkins
Loved it

indigo is so good we have hester and galen she works with underground railroad and he is kind of like a spy and there is a like caretaking scene she cares for him i remember the bathtub scene it's just like so good

i read it when i was pretty new to old school historicals so i didn't like love it but i enjoyed it i remember the heroine's name is jessica and i remember the hero was getting her brother in trouble so she like really stood up to him and they really clash

Midnight MoonUnknown
Mixed

i feel like the plot was really slow and it's just like a very sweet wholesome historical and that's why i want my old school historicals i want like all-consuming passion and like so much more to the plot so this one was a little forgettable to me
