I have enjoyed the other books in this series (Infinity and Eternity), but an unlikable heroine and a Big Misunderstanding marred my enjoyment of this latest entry. Nibada is one of the oldest Immortal High Witches around. In 2,501 B.C. she had been left at the temple in Sumer with no clue as to her…
Recently, I read Showdown by Patricia Potter from the In Our Dreams anthology and absolutely loved it. Therefore I was looking forward to reviewing Potter’s latest tale, Broken Honor. While I liked the story, I felt it was just missing a few things that would have made it perfect. At the end of World War…
The story of Forever, My Lady opens with a border raid in Scotland’s East March and the murder of the warden while his wife is giving birth upstairs. Jump ahead a few years: a new warden, Sir Bryan Hepburn, has come to the East March to look into the mysterious disappearance of yet another warden,…
Grady Sullivan is a private detective who has been hired to guard the extremely ancient Archie Peevers, a toilet-paper millionaire, from the machinations of his greedy relatives. Archie has been amusing himself at his heirs’ expense by changing his will every month or so, but now he fears he’s gone too far and one of…
Wendy Holden’s comedy Bad Heir Day is a frothy romp guaranteed to keep a smile on your face and a chuckle never far away. My idea of a near perfect day on the beach would likely contain lots of sunshine and a book like this. For absolute perfection, I’d also need an ice cream and…
Have you ever read something and suddenly realized that it is the book you’ve been waiting for your entire life? That’s what Turtle Moon is to me. Naturally, I think everyone should read it, but especially people who like Christy Yorke’s work. Alice Hoffman has been doing “magical realism” longer, and I believe she’s the…
Sometimes judging a book by its cover pays off. I picked Mr. Commitment up because of the colorful toothbrush cover and bought it because of the witty chapter titles and a quote comparing it to the British Men Behaving Badly, which used to be my favorite TV show. I expected lots of funny guy talk,…
I have been disappointed in this series because with a series title like The Year of Loving Dangerously and with a setting in a super-secret government agency, I had expected a good mix of romance and action like Suzanne Brockmann does so well in her SEAL books. Instead I have found only average romance with…
While I was working at a calendar kiosk at the mall, I took along a copy of Romantic Times to peruse on my break and see what was coming along for January. They gave this book 4 1/2 stars and its hero a WISH award. Maybe I had my expectations set too high, but I…
The world of bodybuilding is not a setting often found in romance stories – if anyone is the epitome of perfection, it is usually the heroine who (effortlessly) looks like a movie star or beauty queen. In this case, it’s our hero who has won the title of “Strongest Man on Earth,” and added to…
