A Review of each follows:Love's Revenge:After finding Eleanor, his ex-fiance, compromised in a stable, Quentin Blackwell, the Earl of Devlyn, has been ostracized and had his family's fortune decimated by his Eleanor's father because he would not then marry her.

Hence, she finds herself on the doorstep of the Earl of Devlyn, her family's sworn enemy, with a proposal allowing him revenge against what her father has wrongfully done to him in exchange for his name.Monica Burns is a master at writing romances featuring older heroines. Heck! She's a master at writing romances period! This was a wonderful story and I highly recommend it!5 Stars!!!!!!Love's Portrait:Roz is her own woman, finally free from an abusive husband. As an act of defiance, she commissions a nude portrait of herself. No one else is supposed to see it except the artist, herself and her best female friend. However, sometimes fate has other ideas...Morgan is a successful businessman and a womanizer with a reputation of leaving his handkerchief on the pillow of his past conquests. One of those hankies might draw a tidy sum at an auction for an orphanage, but he will only relinquish a handkerchief in a bet that he does not plan to lose.I know when I pick up a book by Monica that I'm in for a delicious ride. This book continues Monica Burns' position as THE mistress of historical romances.If you love historical and sexy fiction, you will want to read this!5 Stars!!!!!
