It pays to be persistent. When I first started My Dark Prince I didn’t want to pick it up again. But I kept on reading and after the first few chapters, I didn’t want to put it down. We have all had the experience of reading a book that starts out promising but falls apart…
I’m not usually a big fan of women’s fiction, but I always read Rosamunde Pilcher. Sinead O’Connor may tell us that “England’s not the mythical land of Madame George and roses,” but when you read Pilcher’s books, you can’t help thinking that England is something of a mythical land after all. A beautiful place, where…
I don’t know what I would have named this book had I been its author, but I would not have named it Intrigue. This book is about the ups and downs of a courtship between your average nice girl and nice guy. They go dancing. They go to dinner. They go to a pool hall….
If you’ve seen or read any national news in the last year, you’ve probably heard of at least one incident where an African-American was injured or killed by white police officers, simply because they were in the wrong place at the wrong time. Sadly, it happens all too frequently. Sandra Kitt centers her new book…
I know a book is good when I skip my usual nap during the morning commute to read it, especially after staying up half the night because I had to see where the story went next. This book is an about an Irish rock star who preaches peace and love and giving to charities around…
When reading books connected in a series, I’ve noticed a problem with consistency for a lot of authors. One of the books will be wonderful, another merely okay, and another, disappointing. I have not read On Bended Knee, the book connected to this one, but from the review of it, it sounds like it was…

High Intensity continues the adventures of the madcap couple, eccentric physicist Dr. Tyberius Augustus Evans, and Zanita Masterson, intrepid girl reporter. This modern day Nick and Nora are trying to solve the mystery of the haunting of a small family hotel, with the…
Gabe was a delightful book for a hot summer day. While I love a good long book that takes days to finish, sometimes I simply want to be entertained for a couple of hours and Gabe fit the bill perfectly. Although this mini-series featuring four brothers is called The Buckhorn Brothers, the brothers in question…
Ach. When will authors learn th’ a wee bit o’ dialect goes a lang, lang wee? Ta try ta read a bluidy book where awl te dialogue is in brogue is nay ‘n easy task, ye ken. And after a wee while, ya jest want ta poot ta book dun and give’t up entirely. Ya…
Despite massive anachronisms, a potty-mouthed heroine, an intractable hero, and a Big Misassumption that runs the entire length of the story, The Rancher Takes a Wife grew on me and by the end, I found I grudgingly liked it. Not exactly a glowing recommendation, but there you have it. Rose Severin is a medium (not…
