Whether you like Sullivan’s Island or not depends on how well you like authors like Pat Conroy and Anne Rivers Siddons. If you know their work, this book will be a comfortable read, with familiar themes and settings but with more humor and less emotional gut-wrenching. The prologue to Sullivan’s Island made me think that…
After reading two very average books in a row, I was looking forward to trying Fruitcake. I have to say, for pure entertainment, I was not disappointed. Gabriel Rose lost everything in a moment of rage. Arriving home one night, he walked in on his law partner and wife in bed together with his one-year-old…
Summer’s Child read like a soap opera without all the sex. We’ve got our hero and heroine, a foundling child searching for her birth parents, a mysterious woman, and a whole lot of secrets. Unfortunately, it also had very little romance, and the author revealed the secrets at a pace that nearly drove me insane….
There were two things about Amethyst that led me to believe that I would really like it. One is the time period; I like books set in time periods outside the usual medieval-Regency-Victorian romance novel triumvirate, and this book takes place in the Restoration period of the 1600s. Secondly, the heroine, Amethyst (Amy) Goldsmith, is…
Coming Home had a lot going for it. The hero, Jared Cain, is one of the nicest, sweetest characters I have met in a long time. The theme (there is no place like home) is one I love, and the author did a good job of developing it. I found Coming Home sentimental and heartfelt…
I will agree that how to address those who hold titles of British nobility may be confusing, but there are plenty of reference sources. So there is simply no excuse for the many errors that are found in Temptress. The hero, Lucien St. Cyr, Earl of Berwyn is referred to as St. Cyr through most…
I love popcorn. I also love series romances that are the equivalent of popcorn. Tasty, fun and very enjoyable. I hate popcorn hulls. There is nothing more annoying than to have one get stuck in your teeth while you are eating. So I hated it when one stupid little plot point turned out to be…
Sharon Sala is hit and miss for many readers, and I’m no exception. I didn’t finish her last Intimate Moments novel, but I had absolutely no problems with this one. Detective Judd Hanna takes a leave of absence from the police department to get his head on straight after his partner is murdered. He ends…
Far Harbor is one of those books that you should read when you want a nice, steady plot and a good sense of atmosphere and are not in the mood for a lot of storm and stress. Savannah Townsend returned to Far Harbor after her divorce. Dan O’Halloran is her sister, Raine’s, law partner and…
I had mixed emotions about Acts of Honor. In parts it was good. So good, in fact, that it left me gripping the pages, waiting with baited breath to see what would happen next. In other parts, however, it was convoluted, unrealistic and mired down with too many characters. The good and the bad were…
