Historicals taking place in the WWII time period are among my favorites, and I’ve loved the fact that they’re experiencing a surge of popularity right now. Miss Graham's Cold War Cookbook offers a glimpse into a unique moment of that era, examining just how the Allies handled the immediate after ...
I have never seen a medieval cover before that accurately depicted a heroine with her hair covered, and that raised my hopes that The Rebel Heiress and the Knight would be an immersive, well-researched experience. I’m sorry to tell you that the cover is the only thing I can praise about this dull, ...
Delta Force Defender is book four in Megan Crane's Alaska Force series featuring a group of elite special forces operatives based out of a remote location in Southeast Alaska. I haven’t read the other books, and although the central romance between Alaska Force leader Isaac Gentry and prickly ca ...
I wasn't crazy about Karen Hamilton's début novel, The Perfect Girlfriend.

In fact, The Crushing Depths, the second book in the Coastal Guardians series, interweaves suspenseful action wi ...
