I finished this book in one sitting, which is not a testament to its excellence, but rather the knowledge that if I put it down, I might never pick it up to finish it. There were many problems with this story, but most of them lead back to one thing. It has on of the…
Roan was a hard book to read. No, it was not rich and complicated. It did not have complex characters or memorable turns of phrase, it was simply lifeless and very, very dull. Roan opens with a bang. Tory has been kidnapped by a couple of thugs whom she refers to as Big Ears and…
I was entranced by this book. To begin with, the cover is as beautiful a one as I have seen in a long time. So often in the field of romance, the covers are full of shirtless men, and women who are falling out of their bodices. Winter Garden features a fully dressed man in…
If you like the best friends turn to lovers story, then you should enjoy this book. Elizabeth Richmond has loved Cameron Malloy forever. She even went to the same college and majored in the same courses just to be with him. Now she’s vice president of his company and his invaluable partner. She wants more,…
It must be hell to be Janet Evanovich – writing the funniest books to ever hit the shelves of a bookstore and having to outdo yourself (and succeeding) each time. Not to mention the millions of fans waiting for each book, snapping it off the shelves and immediately demanding the next one. Well, Janet and…
Rarely has the battle of the sexes been this much fun! Elizabeth Bevarly has filled her latest novel with her trademark humor and style. With characters such as Seven and Seven, Salty Dog, Rusty Nail and our hero, Oban-Over-Ice, how could this book not be a good time? Dorsey MacGuinnes is living a double life,…
Sometimes when you read a romance novel, you can imagine it adapted as a movie. You invent casting choices for the main characters, and envision sets and even background music. I didn’t do that with Night Raven. Instead, while reading this romance, I kept picturing a graphic novel. The characters all speak as if they…
Frankly, it was all I could do to get through this book without nodding off. Actually, I did nod off a couple of times; thank God for Starbuck’s which I took intravenously while doing jumping jacks and popping NoDoz. Leigh Greenwood’s latest installment of The Cowboys, the continuing saga of the adopted offspring of Jake…
I made the mistake of judging My Lady’s Guardian by its cover. Not the front one, which is actually quite attractive, but the back one, which touts the book as a romance between two long-time friends. I enjoy romances in which friendship blossoms into love, so I opened the book with great expectations. Unfortunately, instead…
“How many of those Nazi bastards did you kill?” General Patton asked, squinting in eyeball-to-eyeball contact with the stiffly standing, erect, and at-attention sergeant. No, that’s not a line from some bizarre gay porno set in World War II. It’s actually a quote from James Michael Pratt’s The Lighthouse Keeper, and believe me, that’s just…
