Night of No Return is the third book in Silhouette’s twelve-book A Year of Loving Dangerously mini-series, but it is not necessary to have read the first two books in the series to thoroughly appreciate this installment. All you need to know is that there’s a secret government agency named SPEAR headed by the mysterious…
There have been several stories lately that have taken place among the horse industry of Ireland (or Irish families in the horse industries of America). If you love these stories, here’s another one for you. Caitlin Claiborne left her husband, a powerful Kentucky man, because he was cheating on her. She took her kids, her…
I admire the ability of some writers to use a setting to great effect in their stories, to make it almost a third character. This is the second book I’ve read this year whose setting is a natural disaster, and I really got into the story, learning how the characters reacted to the forces nature…
I’m not a fan of stories that manipulate me, but when it’s as gentle and enjoyable as it is in Fly Away Home, then I don’t mind. When coupled with writing as beautiful as Kim Cates achieves here, it’s easy to overlook that feeling of manipulation and simply surrender to the story. Eve Danaher is…
In Bride of Hearts by Janet Lynnford, romance grows amidst the gossip, danger, and political maneuverings of the court of Queen Elizabeth I. Matthew Cavendish, Baron Graystock, is a successful sea captain and a widower. Upon returning to England after two years at sea, he spies a lovely woman, Cordelia Wentworth, swimming in the Thames…
Wow is all I can say! Just when I think J.D. Robb’s In Death series can’t get any better, I’m proven wrong. This latest installment, Judgment in Death is just as sharp, clever and sexy as it’s predecessors. Detective Eve Dallas and husband Roarke, sigh, are still the sexiest and in their own way, cutest…
This book has tear-jerker written all over it. And I am so glad I read it. So get ready, and I’ll try not to sound too much like Amy Yurk’s public relations rep. I’ll also try not to use too many cliched words and phrases to describe this book, but I make no promises. This…
I’ve not read this author before, but my understanding is that she writes a more mainstream style romance – stories that have a lot more going on than just the relationship between the hero and heroine. In this manner, Painted by the Sun is no exception. Irish emigrant Shea Waterston is a lady photographer. Her…
Call me crazy, but I don’t assume that I’m genetically programmed to do things that other members of my family may do if I don’t want to. However, the hero of this story displays just that type of odd thinking for a great deal of this book and pretty much spoiled it for me. Brooke…
Where Dreams Begin is the best historical romance I have read this year. This book really has it all – wonderful, vivid characters, an ambitious conflict, an engaging plot, and a tear-jerker of an ending. And it’s all written in a style that is absolutely flawless. Lady Holly Taylor is a widow just coming out…
