Upon meeting the home’s owner, the situation becomes strange; the old woman has a picture of a person that looks exactly like Laura, except that the picture was taken in the 1800’s! Laura…
His Wicked Promise is the literary equivalent of a K-Tel album. It’s not horrible or anything, but it reads like a rehash of the “greatest hits” of several authors. You may not have read this book yet, but you have certainly read most of what’s in it somewhere else before, and more than once. Glenda…
“Reckless” is a sassy way to describe foolish behavior. Whoever chose this title was on the right track, but it’s not quite strong enough to convey how stupidly these characters behave. I would have called it “Return to Dysfunction Junction.” Rachel Dean has big plans for her 10th reunion. A loser in high school, she…
NOTE: This book has been republished as Phantom Bride Of Midnight Born is an intimate, cozy paranormal, and I found it quite delightful. Solid characterization and well-integrated humor rest securely on the crumbling foundation of a haunted castle. In 1350, Serena Clerenbold and her brother are the only members of their family to survive the Black…

Stop me if you’ve heard this one before – a female psychic works with skeptical but desperate police to catch a serial killer, who may be targeting the psychic herself. Meanwhile, the psychic and one of the law enforcement guys fall in love. Yeah, I thought it sounded like any number of other books, too…
Warning: This book is not a romance novel. Do not read it expecting a loving relationship between a man and woman. Do not read this book if you cannot stand polygamous relationships. Do not read this book if you don’t like a lot of sex. And, finally, do not read this book if you have…
As early as 1769 there have been those that argue that an actor from Stratford-upon-Avon, with no University education, could not possibly have written the wondrous plays attributed to William Shakespeare. People have offered such alternatives as: Francis Bacon, Edward de Vere, 17th Earl of Oxford, and even Queen Elizabeth I. In this book, Malia…
Marrying Owen is the first book in the Bachelors Inc. trilogy. It had me charmed and delighted all through it until the last chapter when a plot twist came out of nowhere, based not on character but solely to create conflict and advance the story. But after I closed it, the charming parts were the…
