The Silver Metal Lover is a science fiction novel first published in 1982. Don’t cringe, it may be SF, but I promise you: this novel has everything you’re looking for in a great romance and a great book. It is a futuristic Romeo and Juliet story, the kind of epic love story that ends in…
I’m not one who generally enjoys “issue” romances, so when this one came across my desk, I stifled a groan – how could I enjoy a romance about a recovering alcoholic? And, given the fact that the book not only featured alcoholism, but a passel of kids to boot, I was predisposed not to enjoy…
Do take a good look at the cover of The Seduction of Sydney because it manages to be very sensual, romantic and sweet, which about sums up the hero of the story. But whatever you do, do not read the silly back blurb. And trust me on this one – do not make the mistake…
Wow! Not only is this the best book in Jill Barnett’s Medieval series, this is the best Barnett book I’ve read, period. To be fair, I’ve yet to read Bewitching, which is a favorite with many. Nevertheless, this book is a real stand-out. It has an epic quality which I loved, a very special heroine,…
Charles Thornton Baxter, fifth Viscount Balfour, also known as Lord Thorn, dislikes Christmas. This particular Christmas season is even more irritating than usual because he has lost the services of his valet, Temple, a man who was closer to him than his own father. Now, in addition to the other Christmas annoyances, he must train…
Susan Krinard’s newest werewolf novel, set in historical times, is an emotionally involving and beautifully told story with a very high angst level. The continuation of the werewolf race rests on the shoulders of one man. Make that one werewolf. Braden Forster, the earl of Greyburn, lives for what his grandfather termed “The Cause.” After…
For me, Touch of the Wolf was like Star Wars: The Phantom Menace. I enjoyed it, not as much as the original installments, but it was a good set-up story that started to link what is already there from earlier books. Prince of Shadows and Prince of Wolves are the two previous werewolf books by…
Ah, the power of a poster featuring a sumptuous male. Makes you dream, doesn’t it? Maggie O’Brien can’t stop herself from staring at the hero of the virtual reality game Tolemac Wars. When trying the game for the first time, she finds herself tossed into the game and ends up in the hands of Kered,…
For a book that started out very dull and came close to decorating my wall many times, it definitely surprised me the more I read. In Virtual Heaven, debut author Ann Lawrence creates a unique premise that will appeal to many a romance reader. Execution isn’t nearly so neat, but is fairly strong for a…
Have you ever read a book and been enthralled? I mean wrapped up to the point where you are lock-yourself-in-the-room-stay-up-all-night-I’ve-got-to-find-everything-this-woman-has-ever-written enthralled? A couple of years ago I picked up Heartless, the first book I had ever read by Mary Balogh and went into the lost-in-a book zone. I went to work the next day, spaced…
