The Narration…

Revisado: 02-23-24

I’m sorry. I hate to be a hater. I truly do but… the narration sounds like AI, delivered by a robot on valium. The attempt at a Scottish accent (I assume it was Scottish but it came across more as Romanian, translating English via Wales) was SO bad, so horrible, so utterly cringe, I actually had to pause the story and take a few deep breaths. Aaaaaaaaaaaargg! I swear I wouldn’t write this unless it truly was that bad.

Love it!

As with all JF’s books. They are tonic for the soul and catnip for we sentimental fools. Can’t say enough good about this book and the series. Please, please give us some more.

Okay, Revision Time

Revisado: 02-07-24

I love everything about this book, and all of Frame’s books in general. They’re an oasis of sweetness in a really rough world, and this book is no exception. As with every book she’s written, I had the feels from start to finish and actually teared up a few times. Five, heartfelt stars for this one and I can’t wait to start the next!

Thoroughly Enjoyed It…

Revisado: 11-17-23

The young kids might not get it but those of us with a few dings and scrapes from battles past will totally identify. The world being what it is these days, we could use a lot more books about friendship, community, comfort and good cheer. It’s the little things in life after all. Bravo!

A well-written, imaginative story but…

Revisado: 07-15-23

Okay so.. misogyny is unacceptable but misandry is perfectly fine? Got it. The men in this story are, without exception, horrific caricatures while the main character goes from flawed but decent, and very relatable, to narcissistic and megalomaniacal in the space of two chapters. The ending is absolute, industrial-grade ‘cringe’.. the humble (and fearful) peasants fawning and showering her with tribute whilst she nods regally, noblesse oblige, and sips her tea. Ugh! Books like this make me seriously question my progressive side.

Funny. As. Hell!!!

Revisado: 03-10-23

There’s only one word I ca. think of that describes this series. Droll! There are some of the very few books that cause me to put them down and laugh myself silly. Slyly using and poking gentle fun at every trope and cliche from Jane Austin to Sam Spade, grinning all the while. What’s more, believe it or not, the characters are actually sentimental. It’s freakin’ perfect. Don’t waste anymore time reading this review. Get the first book in the series and read it right now! You will not be sorry.

A lovely story

Revisado: 06-09-19

I enjoyed everything about this little novella. The romance was sweet, the treatment of the intimate parts appropriate spicy yet mature and tasteful. The descriptions of the class system and it’s attendant arrogance and cruelty added to the pathos of the storyline and elicited real outrage. I found myself completely invested in the characters and was very pleased with the ending. Well done.

She had me until...

Revisado: 03-06-19

I was reading along, enjoying a light, feel good suspense novel about a secret society of accomplished ladies who come together to right wrongs and defend the underdog. They are various ages and come from differing backgrounds and walks of life but all are accomplished, well-adjusted, astute and kind. There’s intrigue but little if any violence which I found nice and very refreshing. Aaaaaand... then toward the end they tied up one of the villains and burned her feet off with a blowtorch. The “WTF” factor was pretty much off the charts for me and I doubt I’ll continue with the series. I mean sheesh! The villain was bad but she wasn’t even hat bad.
