Once the reader gets past the silly title and the bizarre cover that has His Lordship resembling a vampire, they’ll find a delightful little tale. Lord Evan Trent never really thought about marriage until his nephew and heir-apparent, Jack, announces that he refuses to marry. Thirteen-year-old Jack recently suffered an illness that left him deaf…
The title of this book should give you a clue that it is not an altogether happy read. Despite the sadness, though, there are some very positive moments here that brighten the gloomy atmosphere. All in all, however, Parting Gifts has a been-there, done-that quality to it. Kyra Latimer’s husband dies in a car accident….
If the heroine, Grace Fisk, had not been working so hard to achieve Too Stupid to Live status, this story could have been a must-read, if not quite a keeper. Grace Fisk is the youngest of three sisters who became pirates in an attempt to save their homes from being destroyed in the Seven Years’…
Heart of a Warrior is the long-awaited sequel to Warrior’s Woman and Keeper of the Heart. Considering that KOTH was published nearly a decade ago, it is amazing how seamlessly this book picks up the narrative, and while it stands alone, it was also a delight to catch up with some favorite characters.

Lady Diana Ballinger is devoted to her family. Her twin brother Trevor is besotted with the Lady Genevieve,…
Cinderella and Beauty and the Beast are fairy-tale stories that have been used in countless romance novels. While I love those tales and never tire of them, it was a most pleasant surprise to find Teresa Medeiros dusting off Sleeping Beauty for her delightfully funny and sometimes poignant new book, A Kiss to Remember. I…
A funny thing happened on the way to the past in Night Visitor: this somewhat skeptical reader began to enjoy herself very much. Don’t get me wrong, I’m always on the lookout for new time travel novels. But the ones I find often don’t live up to my expectations, hence my wariness. Jackson’s heroine, Tafaline…
The third book in Elizabeth Lowell’s Disputed Lands series, Enchanted rounds out the series with a story as gripping and enjoyable as its prequels, Untamed and Forbidden. Like the other two, I’ve been reading and re-reading this book for several years, yet it never fails to keep me eagerly turning pages to rediscover the beautiful…
