I have always liked stories where friendship turns into something more, which is why I chose To Scotland, With Love, the second book in Hawkins’ series on the MacLean siblings. When Gregor MacLean rushes to his friend’s aid, he suddenly starts seeing her in a whole new light. The ensuing relationship is full of sparks…
If you can set details aside for long enough, Sorceress may be a book you might enjoy. While I had a few issues (some serious) with the story Jackson tells here, I found it to be an engaging book that I didn’t want to put down. Bryanna is the middle daughter of the Baron of…
Now I’m worried. I love this series, but the ending of this book leaves the reader hanging in some crucial areas, and Arthur’s next book, due out in February, isn’t a Riley Jensen book at all! I might start hyperventilating. Seriously. As has been mentioned in previous reviews, the books in this series need to…
The time of the Norman Conquest is a setting rich with history. There is a built-in conflict between an invading conqueror hero and an indigenous heroine. Carol Townend puts a slight twist on these two prototypes, making them less stereotypical and giving them a nice external conflict. Lady Cecily isn’t your usual Saxon noblewoman. Her…
So, this one doesn’t suck. And considering the many, many, many fantasy and paranormal romances out there these days, that’s almost a recommendation. I didn’t read the first book in this series, but the info-dump the author helpfully provides in the first few chapters made that a non-issue. The key points here are that demons…
I love discovering an author. It gives me something to look forward to. You see, the more fantastic authors I have on my list, the less the wait between good books. Ms. Webb has been added to that exclusive list, and I will anxiously await her next book. Traceless opens after Clint Austin is released…
Stripped begins well, but even though the leads are engaging, the sub-plot and the addition of too many secondary characters interfered with their screen time. I appreciate that the author tried to do something different here, but her execution wasn’t all it could be. At the start of the book, Lilith St. Lyon, a powerful…
Writing a romantic comedy is a very tricky business, requiring a light touch and discretion to keep the comedy from becoming slapstick or worse yet – unfunny. Unfortunately, Civil-Brown forgot half way through The Life of Reilly that she was making a soufflé, not mashing potatoes. Lynn Reilly left the quantum physics lab at Princeton…
Looking back on The Heir and the Spare, I cannot say that the book left any deep impression on me. What stands out most clearly in retrospect is not the actual story itself, but rather a memory of reading this book on the bus and enjoying it. The plot points are a bit silly and…
Annette Blair’s new series introduces the Cartwright sisters, triplets, witches, and all round sassy heroines destined to bring a lot of trouble to anything they touch. Sex and the Psychic Witch is Harmony’s story. She is the buyer for her sisters’ vintage curio shop, but has unique talents. She can read objects and learn of…
