Cameron has a mystery that is as transparent as glass and a hero who has got to be the dumbest, most thick-headed idiot in the world but I count it as one of my favorite comfort reads. So why am I willing to overlook all the problems? Because it has one of my very favorite…
Overly arrogant bossy heroes, flawless in face and body and always wealthy beyond belief, rarely appeal to me. In fact, they usually annoy me pretty quickly. When I discovered that the hero of Potent Charms fit all of these qualifications and then some, I groaned aloud at what I was convinced would be a torturous…
I’ve always had a thing for wagon train romances. I am one of the few people I know who read the entire Wagons West series by Dana Fuller Ross, which I kept reading out of loyalty long after the books stopped being good and the wagons started going back east to places like Kentucky!. When…
Those readers who like marriage of convenience stories might enjoy this one. A sweet woman, a good man and two great kids made for a good old-fashioned story and this would have been a winner if two Big Secrets hadn’t spoiled a good thing. Sue Ellen Fabian (what a name!) wants a family but is…
If you’ve been following this website for a while, you’re aware that this is the seventh AAR review of a Cassie Edwards novel, and I am the seventh reviewer to give Edwards an F. You might think that there is a kind of backhanded recommendation in that. But I don’t want you to be misled….
This was a hard book to grade. On one hand, it read smoothly, had really great characters and I was quite engaged in it. On the other hand – not a whole lot happened.

Supermodel Lilly Lujan’s vacation isn’t going as well as she’d expected. First of all, she’s staying at her manager Gerard’s estate, which means being at his whim and having to deal with annoying male model Antoine; second, she’s been having second thoughts about her career and the modeling contract that will take her to Paris…
Long, Lean, and Lethal may be labeled fiction, but it seems more like romantic suspense. In most romantic suspense I’ve read lately it seems to me that either the romance works or the suspense works but one element works better than the other. This is the first novel I’ve seen where neither element works. Jennifer…
Ever feel like you have entered a conversation half way through and missed some crucial details? Even though this is the first book in a new trilogy, that’s how I felt while reading it. The author’s writing style is such that many characters’ motivations were not revealed until very close to the end of the…
On a Long Ago Night is the type of romance you can really sink your teeth into. It’s lush, exotic, and passionate – in a good way. It’s primarily set in England in 1838 (around the time of Queen Victoria’s coronation), but there are frequent flashbacks to Algiers in 1830. Partly because so much of…
