If you like your history light, your characters amusing, and a nice story to just put a smile on your face, then you’ll enjoy the latest offering by Kinley MacGregor. Tired of watching their husbands, sons, and brothers die in a feud between their clans, the women of the MacAllisters and the MacDouglases have revolted….
According to her cover blurb, Sherryl Woods has published over sixty books. I’ve enjoyed some of those. Ask Anyone, unfortunately, gave me the impression of a good author on autopilot. Bobby Spencer owns a tract of riverfront property in his hometown of Trinity Harbor, Virginia, which he wants to develop in a family-friendly way. He…
Reading this book so soon after reading the latest J.D. Robb was a bit of a revelation. I still stand by the B grade I gave to that one and the one I’m giving this one, but have to say that Chasing Darkness is worthy of a comparison that in some respects puts Danielle Girard…
Lori Handeland’s latest release, Rico, features cardboard characters in a plot that flip-flops between believable and contrived without warning. Then there’s the ending, which should come complete with a warning for diabetics. But not to worry – unless you have masochistic tendencies, you probably won’t make it that far. Betty Lillian is a card dealer,…
The Promise is a gentle time-travel story with a couple that pulls each other across time between 1888 and 2002. I really like a well-done time-travel story, and the time-travel elements in this story worked nicely. Unfortunately, the rest of the plot never caught fire in a way that would elevate the book as a…
Lord of Fire and Lord of Ice, both by Gaelen Foley, were published in consecutive months (January and February) and feature twin brothers as heroes. Lord Lucien Knight, Foley’s Lord of Fire, is seemingly a rogue who indulges in the worst of perversions. He blackmails virginal Alice Montague into residing at his country estate for…
I’d say it’s a pretty bad sign when a reviewer has to struggle to remember what a book was about when she only finished reading it last week. The Fire Inside will obviously not burn in my memory for all time, but it did fry me a little. Lady Kassandra Wentworth (aka Kitt), is reckless,…
Ever take a sip of champagne that’s gone just a little flat? It looks right, it smells the same – but the bubble, the sparkle, the excitement are missing. That’s what this book was like for me: all the ingredients for a good story were there, but there was just enough that didn’t work to…
The Secret Ingredient is a light and funny book that perfectly illustrates the old saying: “Be careful what you wish for, you might get it.” When Elizabeth Baskin sets out to try and turn her husband back into the man he was when they were first married, the results are exactly what she hoped for…
If you read Cynthia Heimel’s one-of-a-kind masterpiece Sex Tips For Girls, you may have been thinking of picking up the sequel. I certainly was. But now that I have, please allow me to convince you not to make the same mistake. If by any chance, you haven’t read the original, don’t waste your time here…
