Books by Liz Fielding

A-
Flirting with Italian

This book sounded trite: A recently dumped heroine lands a dream job in Rome and meets a gorgeous Italian Count. Fortunately, trite is the last thing it proved to be. While it started off light and pleasant, by the end I realize just how textured and deep the characters are, and how lovely the story ...

Tempted by Trouble

The surprise gift of a vintage ice cream van complete with health certificate and upcoming bookings is the impetus for this remarkably enjoyable novel set in England. I say remarkable because during the first chapter when I realized the truck was probably going to become a character, I had misgiving ...

SOS: Convenient Husband Required

Liz Fielding’s latest is a reunion story of teenage lovers from opposite sides of the tracks. Throw in the fact that it also includes a will stipulation that the heroine marry by age 30 or lose her inheritance, and a potential marriage of convenience, and there seems to be an overabundance of seri ...

A Wedding at Leopard Tree Lodge

I expected to like A Wedding at Leopard Tree Lodge more than I did. It has an edgy heroine (purple streaks in her hair) with a mysterious past, and a really cool setting; if you're sick of the same old, same old, you can hardly beat Botswana for exotic. Unfortunately, I never really warmed to the he ...

Her Desert Dream

Cliches and formulas are only boring if the author doesn't write beyond them. For example, many of Liz Fielding's books employ the following structure: A quick establishing of the characters and scenario, followed by… An intense, 48-hour period in which we get to know our two ch ...

Christmas Angel for the Billionaire

I chose this book because I've read one other by Liz Fielding and it made me cry. There is a quality to her writing that pleases me – she lets dialogue stand for itself without cluttering it with speech tags and the sentences roll off each other in the best tradition of understated British prose; ...

Wedded in a Whirlwind

As a reader, I find myself quick to praise the new and innovative. However, sometimes a sweet, "comfort food" book comes along that just leaves me smiling. Wedded in a Whirlwind is just such a book. It does not reinvent the genre, but in a very limited number of pages, the author constructs a beauti ...

The Bride's Baby

As a warning to those who abhor shopworn plots, this story has a Big Mis and a (sort of) secret baby. Those who are okay with these plot devices, however, may still find The Bride’s Baby to be a less than stellar story. Sylvie Smith is an event organizer in charge of billionaire ...

B
The Sheikh's Unsuitable Bride

I try to stay away from romance novels with titles such as the one here. But having read and enjoyed a another romance by Liz Fielding (Reunited: Marriage in a Million), I decided to give The Sheikh's Unsuitable Bride a try. I'm glad I did. Diana Metcalfe is a single mother, livi ...

Reunited: Marriage in a Million

When I first read the back of this book, I said to myself, here we go again - yet another marriage of convenience story. However, as I read, I was surprised and touched by Fielding’s take on the old plot, and in the end, liked it a great deal. Ivo is a millionaire married to the beautiful Bel ...
