As a long-time fan of Elizabeth Lowell, I’ve been looking forward to her latest novel Moving Target, which merges her medieval Disputed Lands trilogy with her more recent contemporary suspense work. Somehow she manages to include guest appearances by three Donovans and tie in her Blackthorn family of characters from her contemporary Western novels. If…
Several years ago, I read the debut Mackenzie book. Back then, romance series didn’t seem to be quite as plentiful as they are now, and I was hoping this would be a new one for me to enjoy. While I didn’t think it was horrible, I definitely wasn’t interested in reading the rest of the…

When Faith Worthington was a little…

Ten years after leaving home to become educated as a lady in Boston, Sonnie Mancuso returns to her father’s ranch. He has had a heart attack, and she hopes both…
If you liked the movies Sleeping With The Enemy and Practical Magic, you are gonna love this book. All that was missing for me was my Berlioz Symphonie Fantastique CD playing in the background.
