I can’t believe I waited this long to read something by Kay Hooper! This is the best suspense story I’ve read lately, with a good psychological twist at the end that’s as surprising as the one in the movie The Sixth Sense. It may make some readers unhappy, though. Dinah Leighton is an investigative journalist…
If you like a story where the hero and heroine bicker in the spirit of a lighthearted romance, you may like this one. It tries to be light and charming, but the bickering doesn’t quite make it to the level of cute banter, and the hero and heroine veer a little too close to being…
Last Saturday was a cool, cloudy, rainy day during which I craved two things. Some fast, comfort food and a book I could read in a few hours. Luckily for me,Tempting Zack had just come out. Since I had enjoyed the first book in this series, Marrying Owen, I settled down with the new one…
Naughty scenes, bawdy dialogue, and endnotes – yes, it’s the latest Susan Johnson book. I’ve enjoyed a couple of her books before, when the characters have been engaging, and the plot has been fun. Too bad this was not one of those books. Isabella Leslie has just lost her grandfather, and her greedy uncle plots…
Like Blythe and Linda (see Pandora’s Box), I enjoyed Rules of Engagement by Christina Dodd. A well-written, amusing, and sensual romance, it makes for fun reading, though its secondary suspense plot is irrelevant and extraneous. Queen Victoria has demanded that the Earl of Kerrich demonstrate that he is a respectable family man. So he hires…
This is the fourth installment in the A Year of Loving Dangerously mini-series. When we last saw Simon the terrorist whose ultimate goal is to bring down the SPEAR agency and Jonah, its head, he had a large shipment of arms and was planning on getting into the lucrative drug business run by the gangs…
In Susan Grant’s The Star King, Air Force fighter pilot Jasmine Boswell is shot from the sky over Saudi Arabia and plunged into a dreamscape environment with a mysterious man who reaches out and touches her very soul. Meeting him 20 years later brings surprises that take Jasmine from the desert of Arizona to the…
Maggie Price’s romantic suspense books for Silhouette just keep getting better. With Dangerous Liaisons she’s created my favorite one yet. Jake Ford’s partner Whitney has just married Assistant District Attorney Bill Taylor. At the wedding reception, Jake ends up dancing with the groom’s sister, Nicole, who runs a matchmaking business. The two share an intense…
I never used to think a bland medieval was possible. The time period is so lush, the possibilities for drama and conflict so numerous. The temptation would be to overdramatize, if anything. Then I read The Enchantress, the second book in the Highland Treasures trilogy, and discovered that the bland medieval is not a mythical…
Some people like vampires, but I’ve always been fond of witches. Who needs eternal life when you can conjure things out of thin air or influence people? The witch characters were what drew me to Three’s A Charm and I liked them more than the mortals, but in the end I think I would have…
