I started this book during lunch on a work day. Big mistake because it immediately sucked me in, and all I wanted to do for the rest of the day was go home and finish the book. Talk to Me has some of the strongest, wittiest dialogue I’ve read in a while. I smiled when…
The Silver Coin is certainly not the worst book I’ve ever read, but on so many levels, it just didn’t work for me. While it is technically an historical romance, it has a strong suspense plot which is the focus of the entire book. Unfortunately, I found it boring and not at all suspenseful. Someone…
Razzle Dazzle, the title of this book, is not really a fitting title. It implies lightning bolts and the kind of magic and charisma that is more like a David Copperfield show. It does not do justice to the subtle, delightful magic that is found in Razzle Dazzle. This is an immensely enjoyable read, but…
A serial killer is killing the prostitutes of Oklahoma City and Sgt. Whitney Shea is determined to solve the case. She thinks she has a suspect, one Andrew Copeland, son of a wealthy politician. She knows this fact will only make her job more difficult, but she’s not about to let that stop her. Whitney’s…
Lost and Found Bride is part old-style gothic mixed with early Danielle Steel. If both of those components are appealing, Modean Moon’s tale of a young woman’s amnesia and eventual recovery should be somewhat satisfying. For the rest of us, however, this book leaves something to be desired. Our story begins when wealthy and mysterious…
Dr. Caleb Chaney was such a nice guy that it was quite a pleasure to read how he transformed the frightened and wounded Ellie Parrish into the warmly loving woman she deserved to be. Caleb was not the sort of romance hero who is nice to everyone but the heroine, nor was he the sort…
Be careful what you ask for; you might get it. My number one complaint about many romances I have read and reviewed is lack of editing. If only they had been disciplined, polished and given all that surface shine they richly deserve they would have been so much better. Princess is the opposite: a book…
The biggest disappointment I felt after reading this book was that it gave ill treatment to a character I had grown to love. In The Heiress Bride, the third and what I thought was the last installment of Coulter’s Bride trilogy, feisty, witty, irreverent Sinjun Sherbrooke gets plunged headfirst into a deep, gray well of…
Dawnflight tells the story of how Guinevere and Arthur met. Only this isn’t the Guinevere of legend. She is Gyanhumara (Gyan), the chieftainess of a fierce Pictish clan. Unlike the Brytoni women, Gyan wears clan tattoos and knows how to use a sword. To fulfill a treaty, Gyan must marry Urien, the son of a…
Of Noble Birth is not bad so much as it is thoroughly, horribly depressing. This is a romance with an hea ending, something I had to remind myself repeatedly just to get through the book. Murphy’s Law works overtime here, because until they reach the ending, everything that happens to the characters is awful, and…
