Deep Breath is a great ride – once you are on the road, you don’t want to stop. If you are not familiar with the series, this is the seventh and second to last installment in Alison Kent’s SG-5 series (Smithson Group). They all stand alone, although that might not be true for the last…
And Able is the last in a trilogy of books about heroes who are former mercenaries (and if you can’t guess the titles of the first two books in the series you must be a newbie to romance novels). The hero is a hot and studly lone wolf, rather like one of those hot and…
Romantic suspense is a weird categorization for any novel. Is being in a suspenseful situation romantic in any way? Let’s say you’ve been the only person to survive the attack of a serial killer and twelve years later you’re still driven to find him. Also on the hunt is an attractive FBI agent who you…
Serial killers and anmesia – sounds like just another run-of-the-mill series read, doesn’t it? Fortunately, Fiona Brand manages to breathe new life into both of these well-used plotlines with her latest single title release. While the plotting and the action in this story really draw the reader in, the characters seem a bit distant, making…
I must admit that the first fifty pages of Sighs Matter were a test of endurance for me. First there was the hero who snapped his gum repeatedly while responding to serious questions with flippant, sometimes extended, answers such as “Been there, done that, bought the T-shirt, bad fit, donated it to Goodwill. The end.”…
Special Gifts is my all-time favorite psychic romance. The rest of the romance reading world may hold up Linda Howard’s Dream Man as the definitive version of this tale, but I’d take Anne Stuart’s spin on it any day. It starts with that oh-so-common premise: the psychic heroine, the skeptical hero and the serial killer….
After going all of 2005 without a DIK, it was wonderful to close All Night Long with a big smile on my face – 2006 was off to a good start. My joy was made greater by the fact that Jayne Ann Krentz is a long time favorite who continues to deliver the goods, while…
Ruth Wind serves up action and adventure in exotic settings in her latest, The Diamond Secret. The end product is a slick, fast-paced, and mostly forgettable read. Sylvie Montague is the daughter of a famous Formula One race car driver, which makes her both a frequent target of the tabloids and a skilled motorist in…
You’ve gotta love Gibson’s heroes – they are so realistic that you can reach out and touch them and they are simply such…men! Their combination of attitudes, communication skills, thoughts, and half attempts to see things from a woman’s perspective is very effective. Sex, Lies, and Online Dating delivers just this kind of hero at…
I think if I had read Tara Janzen’s first two books in this series, I’d have been more at home, but it didn’t take me too long to adjust. The premise for Crazy Wildis far-fetched, but the action is fast and furious. It’s kind of cartoony, but so is 24. Steele Street is a clandestine…
