Review: Ménage After Midnight by Madelynne Ellis

Being set in Georgian England, it’s a lot more acceptable that a woman has curves.  Even if it is historical, it was still nice to see that.  Paris totally loves Sophia and even imagines what she’ll look like without all the layers and certainly appreciates her “round rump”.  

At first, Sophia kind of lies to him a bit, by omitting the little fact that her husband would be joining them.  Once that’s past though, it’s actually a very sexy and very sweet story.  I love the honesty with which Alexander expresses himself.  

The love scenes are vivid and you get a variety of different positions and combinations, making it that much more satisfying.  The romance side of it is heartwarming, both in the marriage that Sophia and Alexander have to begin with, but also how they welcome Paris into their bed and their lives.  Ménage after Midnight is a very enjoyable read!

Review: Capturing Cora by Madelynne Ellis

This book was so adorable! It started out as boys versus girls in a game of "skittles".  

Miss Cora Reeve is in love with Branwell (Bran) and has been since childhood. When he proposes marriage to her, she is hurt, assumes it's a joke and turns him down in front of his peers.

Bran must convince Cora that he is sincere with his proposal. He has longed for her for quite some time now. He needs to prove she is not another play in his game in the correct gentlemanly way. When Bran and Cora are thrown into a game of hide and seek, it turns hot and Bran shows Cora a sensual side of him. But was it enough to make Cora believe he truly wants a marriage with her?

The book was probably no more than 60 pages and was historical in language. A nice short love story!
