While I’ve enjoyed many a Stephen King movie in the past, including Stand By Me, The Shawshank Redemption, and The Shining, I’ve never read one of his novels before. When I heard he had written a haunted love story that he deemed a combination gothic romance/ghost story, I decided to give it a try. At…
The Beloved One is one of those books that I could hardly make myself put down. You know how it is; you are supposed to eat and sleep now and then, but you’d much rather be reading! When I have that feeling, I know I have a desert isle keeper on my hands. Practically perfect…
The Rebel is the third installment in the Men of Pride County series, and it is definitely a departure from the other two. While the hero is a man from Pride County, almost all of the story is set in territorial New Mexico. And unlike the other two, the bulk of the story takes place…
What woman wouldn’t want to be rescued from a fate worse than death? What woman wouldn’t be grateful for the chance at a new start, even if it does mean marriage to a pirate? After all, isn’t marriage preferable to a life of servitude in New South Wales? Sabrina Jeffries’ wonderful book, The Pirate Lord,…
When I finished reading Lady of Conquest, I hurled it through the air, and it hit my living room wall with a satisfying thwack. Believe me when I say that this was the sole satisfaction derived from this book. Unless you really enjoy books in which the hero and heroine spend the entire time hating…
This is the fourth novel in Harlequin’s The Australians, a limited series. Like many novels in the Harlequin Romance line, this novel has a gentle heroine, a rugged hero, and an exotic setting. I thought it would be different because the heroine was caring for an orphaned baby possum. This wasn’t the typical squeamish heroine…
When I first began reading this book, I thought I had a real keeper in my hands. But, as I continued through the story, my enthusiasm waned a bit. A little past midpoint, I completely lost interest and put the book down for a long time. That probably won’t happen to everyone … there is…
What if your life were in danger and you were suddenly given the chance to swap identities with a recently deceased woman? Would you seize the opportunity to save yourself even if it meant deceiving the dead woman’s never-seen fiance and his hunk of an older brother? And would you carry through with the charade,…
The Vampire Armand is fatally flawed, and considering the protagonist is immortal, that’s quite a dilemma. I look forward to every new release by Anne Rice, and enjoyed Pandora, her last release in her vampire series. However, she hasn’t written a keeper for me since Taltos (one of her Mayfair Witch series), and hasn’t written…
Please do not make the mistake of looking at the cover of A Perfect Hero with its picture of three adorable toddlers and a teddy bear with a Whose Child? blurb on it and say, “Oh no, another secret baby book!” Yes, there are secret babies in this book, but there is so much more!…
