I’m not sure if it was my mood or the unusually long gap between romance novels, but I really, really liked How the Marquess Was Won (2011) by Julie Anne Long. After almost giving up on Long entirely because of some extreme typo issues, she’s become one of my favorite historical romance novelists. I already have a couple more of hers on my kindle, which I’m saving for my vacation. Now, there were some major typo issues in this book as well, but it wasn’t nearly as bad as some of Long’s books. Fortunately, Long had better editors for the beginning of the book, so I was good and into it before I started getting distracted by nonsense sentences.

Julie Anne Long is one of my auto-buy authors. I actually found this book one of her weaker efforts, although even a sub-par book from her is better than a lot of the other romances out there. I’m going to be reviewing her latest release tomorrow. It featured my favourite couple of hers as supporting characters, which was an added bonus to an already good story.
I love Long, too, and this was the first book of hers I read. I thought it was fantastic for about 2/3 and then just lost steam and turned into high school. That dancing scene though? Guh.
