  • Bodyguard by Suzanne Brockmann

    I’m just crazy about Harry – Harry O’Dell, that is, the hero of Suzanne Brockmann’s latest blockbuster. He’s a foul-mouthed, rough-edged, rumpled FBI agent from Brooklyn, out to save a dead man’s former trophy wife from the mob. Before you start reading this book, make sure dinner’s cooked and the dishes are done. You won’t…

  • Drag Strip

    Fans of Janet Evanovich’s Stephanie Plum series should enjoy the second in Nancy Bartholomew’s mystery series about Sierra Lavotini. Instead of a smart-mouth bounty hunter, Sierra Lavotini is a smart-mouth and boobacious stripper with a penchant for being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Since I’m new to this genre of fiction, I…

  • The Switch

  • Song of Innocence

    I often think that a good writer can take any plot and make a good story of it. Maybe sometimes. Margery Harkness-Casares is a good writer, meaning that her narrative voice is both professional and compelling. But no one, and I mean no one could have succeeded with this preposterous plot. In Song of Innocence…

  • The Dangerous Baron Leigh

    Most books that earn an F really earn it, usually because the characters do something to provoke a violent, unpleasant response. The Dangerous Baron Leigh isn’t like that, and indeed I am sorry to be giving it such a poor grade, because I’m sure if another author had written this book with the same plot…

  • On Fire

    Oceanographer Riley St. Joe is the granddaughter of the once famous, now infamous oceanographer, Emile LaBreque. For the past year, Emile has been under a cloud of suspicion because his research vessel sank, taking five people with it. Many people blame Emile for the accident. Riley is the only person who still believes in Emile….
