Chloe Sommers is in a bind. She needs to sell her cattle at the railhead before the taxes on her ranch are due or she will end up forfeiting her land to local baddie Calvin Talbot. The first problem is that she has no hired gun to protect her drovers on the cattle drive and…
The spine of The Magic of Two says it is a futuristic romance but that’s a bit misleading. It is more of a fantasy quest romance that reads like a historical, set on an alternate earth, with a little magic and a couple of demons thrown in. If you are a big futuristic fan be…
Deception’s Bride is a very eventful read, with young love playing out its passionate game against the backdrop of an exotic environment. Whoa, lets make a fresh start of this review. Every word in the above sentence is true, but it is still partially misleading. Sometimes words can lead us a merry chase, so lets…
Jane Ashford is somewhat known for her unusual characters, and the hero and heroine of her newest book, Bride to Be, are no exception. Actually, all of the secondary characters are also unusually vivid and interesting; they help make the book an entertaining read. The book has a few problems here and there, but it’s…
The best description of this read is a tiny piece of dark chocolate: you have an almost physical craving for it, it is not really good for you, and a little goes a long way. Lord Galen Tarrent returns to reclaim his inheritance as the Lord of Thornbury after an eleven-year absence in the Crusades….
The Wallflower incorporates two great premises: the do-over and the high school crush. What if, knowing what you know now, you could go back to a time and a place in your life and do it better? And what if you could legitimately pursue the crush you had on that fabulous and good-looking teacher back…

However, a conflict that is predictable and includes a sort of marriage of convenience as well as the Big Misunderstanding, inconsistencies in the heroine, and stereotypical secondary characters, make this book an average read. Bear McQuaid is a…
There was not one thing I liked about this book. Not one thing. Please keep this in mind as you read this review because I have nothing good to say about The Stargazer, so I thought I’d warn you right up front. It’s got a pretty cover and a lovely title and I was really…
I truly expected to like The Stargazer. I specifically requested to review it after seeing the promos for it on Amazon. The lovely cover, hardcover packaging, and author biography (she has a Ph.D. in Comparative Literature of the Renaissance from Harvard) led me to expect a well-plotted historical novel set in a largely overlooked time…
This book is your basic, garden-variety paranormal romance. It was a bit slick at times for my tastes but the story and ensuing romance intrigued me enough that, at the end of the first chapter, I wanted to continue reading and see where the story took me. Kate MacGillvray and Alec Lachlan, both doctors, meet…
