There's 4 1/2 strawberries (out of 5) review of my bisexual Regency romance at Forbidden Fruit : the original slash fiction magazine for girls who like boys who like boys.

Reviewer Emily Veinglory said: Phyllida and the Brotherhood of Philander ... delivers page after page of rollicking regency romance ... [with] two main characters that charm and exasperate and a plot that bolts out the door from the first page and never slows down right to its climactic ending ... Phyllida was clearly written by a woman who enjoys a good story and is pulling out all the stops--if you can read with the same ‘damn the torpedoes’ attitude this is definitely the book for you!

She also called many of the scenes "laugh-out-loud funny."

There’s a terrific review of my book, Phyllida and the Brotherhood of Philander: A Bisexual Regency Romance, on the witty, snarky web site, Smart Bitches Who Love Trashy Novels, which begins by describing Phyllida as “a very clever, highly articulate, historically sharp and delightfully entertaining romance.”

I’m writing a longer version here of an already long comment that I left on the site, because the reviewer described certain parts of the story, including what I hoped would be a delightful and heartwarming final scene, as “jarringly modern” and decided I had included them, and justified them in my Author’s Note, as “fantasy.”

Please note: This discussion will eventually refer to some specific plot details, so if you haven’t yet read Phyllida but would like to, and would prefer not to have the story spoiled, then please be careful about reading beyond the LJ cut, here. ( Read more... )
