I finished Mountain Dreams a couple of days ago, and have been struggling ever since with this review. Mountain Dreams is an anthology containing two complete novels by the same author. These stories were purposefully published together because they each deal with innocent young heroines, secret agent heroes who think the women are something they…
I’m not a big fan of anthologies, but I enjoyed this one–probably because it contained four longer stories intend of five shorter ones. The paranormal elements added to the stories, and all the stories had elements of humor as well.
This book was featured in Pandora’s Box for August 2000 The Night Before Christmas has one excellent story, one very good one, one that is not good except for the love scene, and one that is so icky sweet that it made me want to suck a lemon after I read it.
Blue Christmas is an anthology of four stories that all take place during the Christmas season at The Original Heartbreak Hotel in Memphis. All the rooms are decorated in themes related to Elvis movies and it is rumored that the King himself haunts the premises.
If there is ever a self-help group for people who feel compelled to buy Christmas anthologies, I will be a charter member. Every year I seem to read one or two. The Regency anthologies are especially alluring to me. I’m not sure what draws me to them – maybe it’s all that mistletoe. This year’s…
The Amazon link and price information are for the first book in the series, Chat. To paraphrase my fave, Bette Davis— Fasten your seatbelts … it’s going to be a bumpy review. Did you like The English Patient? The Horse Whisperer? The Bridges of Madison County? I’m probably the only person I know who basically…
The other day, I got a books-on-tape in the mail, and I was pleasantly surprised. I have a leash-trained dog that I have to walk several times a day, so I thought, great, I’ll just pop this into my Walkman and listen while I’m walking the dog. That’s when I realized how much of a…
This isn’t a book, it’s a cassette tape. With a total running time of about 90 minutes, it’s a perfect way to get your romance in during a walk, work-out, or lengthy commute. I listened to the tape during my 40 minute drive to work (and my 50 minute drive home), and it was an…
To enjoy Swept Away, you are going to have to suspend disbelief, big time. Okay, romance is fantasy, so you can probably do that. But the heroes of these stories are so far out of reach, powerful, rich beyond imagining, it’s a stretch to believe that, at their cores, they are each just looking for…
Hooray for an anthology with four strong stories! If you are looking for a consistent anthology, one which delivers strong stories by each author participating, look no further. If, as I am, you are a sucker for things Irish, for magic and mystery and beauty in the mist, look no further. Irish Magic II delivers…
