I didn't finish...

His Every Kiss by Laura Lee Guhrke

Annoying precocious child + predictable romance + so-so writing + lots of whining about Suffering for Art = I have better things to do with my time. Grade: C

Your Wicked Waysby Eloisa James

This is in the same series as Duchess in Love, but unlike Duchess in Love, it is hideously boring. Helene was not a likeable heroine and even the characters from other books (Gina, Esme) became annoying/lame in this one. Grade: C+

Midnight Angel by Lisa Kleypas

This one had such a good premise -- runaway teenage Russian murderess posing as governess for the young daughter of a widower with a hook for a hand! I mean, how can you go wrong? Well, apparently Kleypas found a way, because there was no love story, the characters were cardboard, and this book was a snoozefest. Grade: D

And then my run of duds ended when I picked up the totally kick-ass Heart of Night by Taylor Chase, which I will blog about next.
