The characters in Wicked Wager are ones I love. Tony, Viscount Nelthorpe, is a rake, trying to live down his past. Jenna, Lady Fairchild, is an intelligent, mature woman. They know each other from the past, and Jenna has always despised him. But times and circumstances have changed for both of them. Had Tony not…
A recent post about Kathleen Eagle’s books made me stop and think. Why do I love her writing so much? This book is one of the reasons why. Beautiful writing is a given for Kathleen Eagle. She could write stereo instructions and I’d buy them – in hardback. Scenes are never overwritten and no strings…
The Seductive One is an aptly named book. It has more than its share of hackneyed moments and plot devices, yet it casts such a spell with its sweet characters and compelling character drama that the clichés are easy to overlook. Brenna Marcelli and Nicholas Giovanni once shared a forbidden love, forbidden because of the…
Emily’s Beau starts at the beginning of the Season in 1818, when Jacob Winters, the Earl of Hawthorne, is notified that he has a ward. A young woman, the daughter of one of the officers who had served with the Earl’s father in India, was left in his care after the death of her mother….
Flirting With Disaster may be that rare case of too much of a good thing. It’s sharply written and features uncommonly well-drawn characters for a romantic adventure story. Everything that’s good about it is so good it’s difficult to explain why I couldn’t embrace it even more wholeheartedly. Ultimately it comes down to this: the…
Dance with the Devil picks up right where Night Embrace left off. At least that’s what I’m assuming based on the names of the lead characters in the review of the prequel (without having read the previous books in this series). There are so many secondary characters and brief mentions about back-story and memories that…
It’s a shame Unspeakable has already been used for the title of a book by Sandra Brown. It would perfectly fit Hello, Darkness in several ways. The book is unspeakably boring, the characters are unspeakably irritating, and the suspense plot is unspeakably obvious. Charging people $26 for this? That’s the most unspeakable thing of all….
A letter from her high school reunion committee forces Jeanne Claire Cassiday to finally confront her high school sweetheart Nate Donneli. Jeanne wants to know why Nate ended their relationship with a curt note. The answer to this question leads Jeanne and Nate to look at their lives, dreams and how their lives are different…
I love books. My favorite genres are science fiction and romance, and I have hundreds of keepers of both varieties on the shelves of my personal library. But if I were to be stranded on a desert island and could have just one book, I know the one I’d choose. It’s quite old (published in…
Last year I discovered Lorraine Heath’s books and she immediately went on my auto-buy list. She’s written some of my favorite stories, so when I started to hear a lot positive buzz for Hard Lovin’ Man I really looked forward to reading it. Unfortunately it didn’t live up to my expectations, let alone the buzz….
