 Rating:  - Two Great Novels in One Book!Terri of Night Owl Romance - © Night Owl Romance 2007-2008 [...] Traitor's Kiss 4 / 5 Hearts Gabriel Pennistan is a man of science. He enjoys studying things and paying attention to detail. This desire to learn had him travel to Portugal, though Europe was in the mist of a war with Napoleon, to learn about astronomy.

Read More Rating: - First book review I've ever writtenI've been reading Regencies for 40 years. Traitor's Kiss is up there with the best of them. Complex characters, witty dialogue, adventure. Plenty of romance but not swamped in pages of clinical sex scenes that border on porn that appear in many best-selling historical romances nowadays, which I dislike.

Each story was more than 330 pages long. I only read the first story: TRAITOR'S KISS. I did not enjoy it; therefore I did not read the second story: LOVER'S KISS. This review covers TRAITOR'S KISS only. I don't care for this author's writing style. It felt flat. There was no spark or interesting conversation. I wasn't emotionally connected with the characters. I didn't smile or chuckle. In the end, the couple ... Read More Rating: - two exhilarating Pennistan family Regency romances "Traitor's Kiss".
