They say an author is only as good as her last book. I hope I am more open-minded than that. I have been disappointed in Deveraux’s books since Remembrance, but I didn’t give up completely. I borrowed newer works from friends, the library, and even read them in bookstores, always hoping to find that magic…
Catherine Stanhope has only one dream – to be a nurse. She achieves her dream despite the objections of family and society. She even goes so far as to follow Florence Nightingale to help in the field hospitals in Turkey during the Crimean War. Unfortunately, she is sent home early due to a bit of…
Up until halfway through this book, I thought I had a Desert Isle Keeper on my hands. The characters were engaging, the plot intriguing. Then one of my most hated plot devices entered: the hero creates for himself a new identity through the use of a partial mask, even though the heroine has already seen…
Ali Thomas owns a sweet shop that turns out “magical” chocolates, so delicious they are a bit of heaven and can even change your life. Ali’s ex-movie star mother, Charlotte Elizabeth, is hounding her for grand-children. But, Ali hasn’t even had a decent date in years. Into Ali’s hectic life comes Matt Baker, an itinerant…
If you’ve been waiting impatiently for Seven Up (the latest Stephanie Plum novel) to hit the shelves of your local bookstore, let me tell you that it’s definitely worth the wait. Even though I think I know by now the lunacy that usually comes from Stephanie’s work as a bounty hunter, recovering fugitives who’ve jumped…

Katherine Pamberley is the only yet-unmarried Pamberley sister, who has been established as a tomboy in the…
Move over, Buffy . . . Step aside, Xena . . . Zoë Smith’s the new super gal in town! Ahhh, those marketing folks. They’ll say just about anything to make a sale, won’t they? Well, after reading about Zoë’s adventures I don’t think Buffy and Xena need to worry about retiring and settling in…
If you pick up Mesmerized looking for romantic suspense, you won’t find it here – this is a good, old-fashioned spy novel. By the time I’d finished about a third of the book, I realized that the male and female protagonists had only met once – very briefly – and hadn’t exactly fallen deeply in…
Bryce Keene, Duke of Amberville, is in a bind. As the second son, he has just inherited the ducal title upon the death of his brother, and he’s also inherited his niece, a headstrong girl who is headed for trouble. A solution presents itself when Bryce becomes reacquainted with lady Cassandra Abbott. Cassandra once wrote…
It felt like it had been a while since I read an American Historical Romance, so after many lords, ladies and contemporary characters, I’m very glad I asked to review More Than You Wished, the second book in the Hamilton series. I enjoyed it very much, and I hope you’ll find it as satisfying a…
