Nowadays, authors who want to write historical romances with American Indian heroes must find themselves between a rock and a hard place. Judging from our reviews, historical-wallpaper romances with imposing braves grunting pidgin English and carrying off squawking female captives seem to be out of favor, and I’m all for that. But War Cloud’s Passion…
Due to family and career obligations, I rarely have the time to read a book in one sitting. But for The Negotiator, I made time. It’s a real page-turner and a solid love story to boot. I’ve already moved on to the next book in this series and plan to read them all. I think…
I’ve only read one other book by Tori Carrington (husband-and-wife writing team Tony & Lori Karayianni). I didn’t care for that book, but I thought I’d give these authors another shot. I’m happy to report, Never Say Never Again was a good read, and I enjoyed it. Connor is the last of the McCoy brothers…
Linda:</font color> As I read What to Do About Annie, I thought that it would surely make everyone wanting “something different” happy. A sequel to The Trouble With Mary, Annie continues the adventures of the Russo family. It features strong ethnic characters, a hero who leaves the Priesthood, and a promiscuous heroine – all in…
Marian Keyes’s Rachel’s Holiday is a warmly-recommended story about addiction, denial, and the need for acceptance. Rachel Walsh is a 27- year-old Irishwoman who leads a high-flying New York party girl’s life. She strives to be chic and groovy and wants nothing more than to be accepted by those she considers fashionable. But what she…
Sometimes, there’s just one nagging thing that ruins a book for me. That’s not the case with Suzanne Forster’s latest romantic suspense novel, Angel Face. In this book, everything is bad. There is nothing, not one thing that I can recommend about it. Noted heart surgeon Jordan Carpenter is visited by a strange man with…
Some time ago I pulled a box of my old romances – mostly Regencies – out of storage. I have been sorting through them, reading some, skimming others, trying to decide what was worth holding onto. Unfortunately, it appears that my taste has changed rather drastically in the past fifteen years. Many of these old…
Whenever I see that a war movie is coming out I get my hopes up. I live in hope that the women will be playing active roles, not just waiting for the men to finish their heroics. Courage Under Fire with Meg Ryan (though I thought she was wrong for the part) was a favorite…
Rachel Gibson is an author I can count on. I have yet to read a book by her that I didn’t like. Her books are very funny and very sexy, and her heroes are very, very alpha. True Confessions fits right into this pattern. It was a fun and fast read. Hope Spencer is a…
As you may have guessed from the title, this is one of those books where there is a “forced marriage” setup: the hero and heroine, who come from two families that have despised each other for ages, are forced to marry by a judge, in hopes that if the two leaders of the families can…
