The Secret Pearl is a book that grips you by the throat from the very first scene, and never lets you go until the end. The first chapter of this book is utterly shocking. A man we have barely met hires a prostitute we know nothing about for a night of his pleasure. As we…
Most of us outgrew discussions of what makes for “The Perfect Man” in college. That’s usually the same period in our lives when we would all sit around in groups discussing the meaning of life (or some such) in great detail until the wee hours of the morning. But these just aren’t the sorts of…
It’s never easy to give a bad review, and this one is particularly difficult because the book in question represents an author’s life dream. Susan Elliston apparently spent fifteen years researching and writing Lafitte’s Lady before having it published by a vanity press called FirstPublish.com. I’m sorry to say that this book is awful. Tori,…
For fans who yearn for a medieval book in which the characters do historically accurate things like believe in God, Candice Proctor’s The Last Knight could be the answer to a prayer. In a refreshing change of pace, heroine Attica d’Alerion seems to be a product of her times rather than a transplanted Valley girl….
I had been looking for Stevie’s Chase for several years and had almost given up hope of ever getting my hands on it when I finally found it at a used book store while I was on vacation. So naturally I read it in one sitting. I was a bit afraid that after all that…
This month, for a change of pace, we read two series (category) romances from two different lines. First up is Rules of Engagement by Jamie Denton, Harlequin Temptation #793, to be published in August. ROE brings us the story of an attorney, Jill Cassidy and her just for the weekend fiancé, Morgan Price, and the…
True Devotion by Dee Henderson is an old-fashioned love story, which takes place against a background of modern-day treason and nuclear espionage. Kelly Jacobs lost Nick, her Navy SEAL husband, three years ago in a “training accident,” which she knows means he was killed during a top secret mission. His best friend, Lt. Joe Baker,…
It doesn’t bode well for a book when I can start it on Monday and put it down without a second thought until Saturday. I’m not saying Jake’s Angel was a bad book, but it was lacked that certain spark that makes a body want to pick it up and read it. The story opens…
In this romance, vampire Gregori “The Dark One” is literally older than Methuselah, and heroine Savannah Dubrinsky is only twenty-three years old. What’s more, Gregori has known that he and Savannah were destined to be lifemates ever since he saved her life while she was a fetus. Talk about your May-December romances. Though the writing…
Could someone clone Sean MacNeill and send him over? I think I am in love! I have read and enjoyed all of Virginia Kantra’s books. One thing for sure, her heroes are some of the best in the business. They are strong and tender with a protective and nurturing streak and a deep committment to…
