I was a little worried after finishing Over the Edge. How could any book follow it up? Then I got my hands on Out of Control and realized that it not only lived up to my expectations, but exceed them. Once again Suzanne Brockmann has proven her talent for interweaving storylines, setting a lightning pace,…
I’ve loved Donna Boyd’s werewolf books and am disappointed this is not the next in the Devoncroix series, which I was thoroughly enjoying. While The Alchemist is a change of pace for her, Boyd’s writing is compelling and what she’s created here is as as interesting as the werewolf world she crafted for those earlier…
The ladies of Lucy Lavender Enterprises have fallen on hard times and are desperate need of cash, so they decide to catch notorious highwayman Dandy Dan for the five hundred pounds reward. Lady Miranda, founder of Lucy Lavender, pretends to be stranded along a stretch of road that Dandy Dan frequents and Miss Desdamona Quiggly,…
Last year I read Lane’s debut, the contemporary romance Reinventing Romeo, and while I liked it, it was no great shakes. After finishing Romancing Riley I find myself with a similar opinion: nice story, but nothing spectacular. Riley Callahan is the daughter of a rock star, Max, who is currently on the run from the…
Everyone in So Wild A Heart assures the heroine that the hero is not as bad as is generally believed. Sure, there’s the 15-year affair with a married woman, the drinking, the ancient scandals. There’s the fact that he has little money, just a title and a crumbling old mansion to preserve for which he…
I may not have read this actual book until this week, but I’ve read at least fifty just like it. If anyone ever asks for an example of a paint by numbers romance, I am going to wave a copy of Pride and Prudence at them. Hero with an identity crisis? Check. Spunky heroine who…
I always try to have high hopes for each new book I pick up, even one with a cover as awful as this one has: a clinch, he’s stripped to the waist, her dress is literally falling off, his buns are crooked, she appears to be giving a chiropractic adjustment to his painfully twisted neck,…
What a promising set-up. I’ve read quite a few paranormal romances where the hero is an angel, fallen or otherwise, and vampire and werewolf heroes are quite common. But this is the first time that I’ve ever read a romance where the hero is a devil – a real, honest to badness devil. Too bad…
If you are sensitive about spoilers, please stop reading this review right now. Please shade your eyes and click your “back” button. There. Anyone still with me? There is no possible way I can describe Greenfire without telling you up front that two-thirds through the book the hero kills the hero. Or the villain kills…
Looking for a few hours of lighthearted reading? You can’t do better than this one. Clearly I’ve been missing out, since this is the third book in this author’s series involving Hannah Garvey. The book starts out right where South of Sanity left off, which was somewhat disorienting for me because I had not read…
