Book Review: Miracles by Judith McNaught

November 14, 2020 by Matilda London

I had no idea this book even existed. I was completely and utterly thrilled to find out one of my favorite characters was getting his own book and with such an interesting romantic equal. I purchased it without bothering to read reviews or noticing the page numbers. I was so disappointed. It is clear that McNaught had an amazing story for Nicki and Julianna but couldn’t quite deliver? Perhaps she didn’t have the time? She does seem to focus solely […]

Book Review: Almost Heaven by Judith McNaught

November 14, 2020 by Matilda London

In honor of the forthcoming Bridgerton series on Netflix, I hereby submit the McNaught historical romance novels for a delicious and provocative Shondaland interpretative creative touch—especially this book; most especially this book. If anyone could do Elizabeth Cameron justice, it would be Queen Shonda—all hail! This book is fun and witty and is begging for a series. The third act alone would be a scream and surprisingly enough, Ian Thornton isn’t an asshole—well, most of the time; he is a […]

Book Review: Something Wonderful by Judith McNaught

November 3, 2020 by Matilda London

Of all the McNaught historical romance novels, this is probably my favorite and Alexandra is my favorite protagonist. I love that she saves his life—as a Knight no less—and that she’s witty and independent and rebellious and compassionate and non-conventional. I adore that she quotes philosophers. I love the back from the dead trope and all that accompanies and Jordan, besides the obvious male issues, is not that bad. As much as I’ve bitched about the men in these novels, […]

Book Review: Once and Always by Judith McNaught

November 2, 2020 by Matilda London

Rereading and reviewing these books critically now that I’m older and at this point in history has left me with some complicated emotions. The romantic in me continues to love them; the pragmatist recognizes and understands the infuriating misogynistic history both then and now; the feminist within me is provoked, irked, peeved, pissed, outraged, etc.—so, exactly how I felt when I first read them, only with more awareness and intensity of emotions and realities, and I daresay wiser to not […]

Book Review: Until You by Judith McNaught

October 25, 2020 by Matilda London

Book number three in the Westmoreland Saga focuses on the younger Westmoreland brother, Stephen—yet another aristocratic asshole, but one a tad less intense on that spectrum—and Sheridan, a feisty American governess stricken with amnesia. Clayton and Whitney Westmoreland, once again, make an appearance as well as the couples of the McNaught Sequels trilogy. Nicki du Ville—one of the few men that isn’t an asshole and actually champions the women—returns and has an interesting arc with Sheridan. This book has a […]
