Kathryn Lynn Davis has written another masterpiece in Somewhere Lies the Moon, which completes the epic story of the family of Mairi Rose of Glen Affric, Scotland. The first book in this trilogy, Too Deep for Tears, is the best book I have ever read, and has influenced me in too many ways to count….
The Willful Wife is Suzanne Simms fourth in her Desire series Hazard’s Inc. It is not a book to be taken seriously – it is a book that qualifies as pure, delightful escapism. No tortured hero, no scarred heroine. Just two people that are caught in a rapid and humorous love at first sight event,…
Tori Carrington is actually a pseudonym for two authors. I am wondering if they split the book in half – one starting and one finishing, because each half of License to Thrill reads like a different novel. In the first half, the reader learns that Melanie Weber is an ex-Secret Service agent who is about…
I can best describe Siege of Hearts as a Cinderella story without the evil stepsisters. Actually there are no real villains in this book – although there are a couple of cads. But there is a very engaging pair of lovers and a light and frothy story that is sometimes poignant and sometimes very funny…
Infertility is a pretty tough subject to write about in a romance. Always Annie is a book that handles the subject both well and not so well. I want to warn you ahead of time that there are going to be a few spoilers in this review – needful, just to explain the rating. Annie…
A Breach of Promise is the ninth book featuring William Monk, Hester Latterly and Sir Oliver Rathbone. Those of us that have been waiting, not so patiently, for some kind of resolution between Hester, Monk, and Rathbone, good news, the wait is over! However, I am not going to spoil the surprise for you. If…
For about the first 100 pages of this book, I had to overcome the temptation to toss it through the roof and into orbit. I hated Eulie Toby the heroine, I hated what she had done to Moss Collier, the hero, and above it all I loathed how she kept referring to him as “the…
Pearl Cove is the first Elizabeth Lowell book I’ve read, but it certainly won’t be my last. From the first page, I was drawn into a suspenseful plot, fascinating information about pearls and the pearl industry, and most of all, the larger-than-life characters of the Donovan family. Ten years ago, Archer Donovan fell in love…
Johanna Lindsey’s Once A Princess is old-fashioned, fairy tale fun. The princess in question is Tatiana Janacek, the sole surviving member of the Janacek clan and heir to the Cardinian throne. Cardinia? Don’t spend too much time trying to find it on a map. Cardinia is pure invention, a vaguely Eastern European figment of the…
I had heard Coulter’s books could be a real gamble: you either win big or you lose big. Well, I should have cut my losses before I put money down on Devil’s Embrace. It’s a creepy, cruel novel, and that it was Coulter’s first full-length historical is no excuse. As her note on the back…
