“A lovely new episode in the Palace of Rogues series, in which the author works romance alchemy on the familiar tropes of forced proximity, opposites attract, and a fake relationship, with magical results…. A Regency romantic drama seething with emotional quakes in the vein of Lisa Kleypas.” — Kirkus Reviews (starred review) on How to Tame a Wild Rogue
“Long enhances her complex narration—loaded with wit, mystery, and sizzling romance—with attention to historical detail and the emotional depths of her characters. This may be the author’s best yet.” — Publishers Weekly (starred review) on You Were Made to Be Mine
“Charming…Long’s distinctive metaphor-rich style is a treat, a visual and textural tapestry that expresses the characters’ emotional lives through their senses. She suffuses the prose with images of fire and musical reverberations, distilling into them the erotic affection, sensual banter, and crackling chemistry that arcs between the combatant lovers. You’ll be seduced by this fake-engagement romance set at the London docks.” — Kirkus Reviews (starred review) on I’m Only Wicked with You
“Long finds that delectable sweet spot with Angel in a Devil’s Arms, welcoming us all to the cozy warmth of the Grand Palace on the Thames with the peculiar blend of humor and pathos she writes with such aplomb.” — Entertainment Weekly
“Exceptional…Long’s intelligent, complex protagonists and their credible hidden depths feel remarkably real, while the slow-burning evolution of their romance and genuine impediments to their love will keep readers hooked. Add in witty dialogue and sharp commentary on class restrictions, and the result is a standout historical romance.” —
