I enjoyed the book, and so did a few others as you can see by the comments above. :)<br /><br />Thank you so much for the heads up, both on the fact that these wonderful books are now available in ebook format, and that there's also a third book available. That's wonderful news for the readers interested in getting their hands on these books. I will let them know.<br /><br />Oh and I will certainly look up your Edith Layton recommendations.Hilciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17765831808358693421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1444239480570451270.post-53630427568402781202011-07-15T13:04:15.158-04:002011-07-15T13:04:15.158-04:00Okay, I lied about the end of promo.

I found this when...Hi, thanks for the nice review!<br /><br />I found this when I was trying to track something down, and googled myself. <br /><br />The reason I was googling myself -- I just discovered that these books are now available as ebooks and I'm trying to find which formats they're in other than Kindle and Nook. <br /><br />Since I'd told at least ten people that there were no plans to have them come out as ebooks, I figured I should spread the news that I was wrong! <br /><br />So far I've found them on Amazon and Barnes and Noble. <br /><br />Anyway, thanks again! This makes my day--a few months later. <br /><br />Last bit of self promo, I have another book that was part of the trilogy but I self published. That's Someone to Cherish. It's an ebook. <br /><br />Kate (who also writes as Summer Devon.)<br /><br />P.S. Edith Layton wrote a couple of NYC set historical romances that are great.They're long out of print but who knows? Maybe they'll show up as ebooks too.Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02495558736099438348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1444239480570451270.post-1434274345435325292011-06-02T07:13:42.151-04:002011-06-02T07:13:42.151-04:00Oh Tracy, you have that book!

I really loved that aspect of this book and the fact that the bulk of the story took place in one of the neighborhoods. I'm so glad you enjoyed it too!<br /><br />Leslie, yes on the setting, and definitely yes... on the fun! I think you would really enjoy this read -- Perils of Pauline and all, lol!<br /><br />Christine, I enjoy books set in NYC too... this is a good one. <br /><br />RE: "In Sheep's Clothing by Meljean Brook." That short story gets a C as it was more or less an average read for me and not a favorite. It's the reason I did not re-read it this time. I read it last year(?) and I thought I'd already reviewed it... but hmm... I checked and nope... I didn't. LOL! I didn't even list it as read! One of those that falls through the cracks. :( <br /> <br />PS: Yesterday it felt like a Friday... all day long. It was a loooong Wednesday!<br /><br />Alex, I hope you can get your hands on Somebody Wonderful. It IS a good read, and I really like the way Rothwell portrayed this NY cop in the late 1800's -- period appropriate. :D<br /><br />Nath, the Rothwell is a great read. The second Rothwell book is sitting on my coffee table and well... let's see what happens during RWA for you. *g* <br /><br />The anthology is an ebook that is on sale for $2.99 in amazon! It is most definitely worth buying and reading for that price. :D <br /><br />Ames, so glad you loved Somebody Wonderful too! I have that 2nd book and will be reading it in the next couple of weeks. I got lucky and found it! <br /><br />LOL, I loved that aspect of this book as well... the part where Timona dismisses everything and Mick is just such a prude! We loved the same things. BTW, I loved Mick! *g*<br /><br />Orannia, Something Wonderful was not quite as stark as Gangs of NY, but it does show the squalid lives of new immigrants, and some other practices that are now part of history. <br /><br />Under Her Skin is on sale for $2.99 as an ebook and should be easy to find if you're interested. :DHilciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17765831808358693421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1444239480570451270.post-46885810721863289232011-05-26T05:28:05.491-04:002011-05-26T05:28:05.491-04:00Ohh, I like the time period of Something Wonderful...Ohh, I like the time period of Something Wonderful.

I've been keeping an eye out for the 2nd one but have never found it. :( <br /><br />But I loved Timona's attitude and she didn't care about reputations and society's rules and whatnot.
