Are You My Daddy? is not complicated at all, and if you are in the mood for (yet another) cowboy and kid story, you’ll find this book appealing. Five-year-old Cody has an absentee dad, a rodeo rider who just can’t find time for his son. That’s why Cody’s momma, pretty Marty Thomas, divorced him. Cody…
Picking up a Nora Roberts book is seldom a disappointing experience, because Nora Roberts almost always delivers. The Winning Hand is no exception. It’s like reading a fairy tale, a Cinderella story with a rags to riches plot and deeply satisfying characters. It is also part of the MacGregor series, so fans have the added…
Floating was the winner of the MTV fiction contest. From this we can only assume that the other 400 entries out there were worse. The book is the debut of MTV books. MTV, btw, is owned by media conglomerate Viacom, which, in turn, owns Simon & Schuster, which owns Pocket books. This, apparently, is an…
Tonight or Never is a problem to review. On one hand it has two of Dara Joy’s best characters, John, Viscount Sexton and Chloe Heart. Ms Joy’s male characters have all been wonderfully larger-than-life – so much so that they have almost overshadowed her female characters. Not so in Tonight or Never. Chloe Heart is…
Leanne Banks writes witty and sexy series romance. With Millionaire Dad, she adds a new nuance and depth in her writing. It is witty and sexy, but it is also deeper and more intense. If you are put off by “baby books,” make an exception for this one and give it a try. It’s a…
Part of the fun in reading a book by Jackie Collins is trying to figure out on whom her characters are based. I read some of her earlier books and found them ho-hum, but when Pocket sent me Power, I decided to give her another shot. There’s plenty of gore and violence in this 126-page…
A lot of books start well, sag in the middle, and get steadily worse. A Dangerous Man is exactly the opposite; it gets off to a slow start, gains momentum, and is pretty good by the end. The last quarter is so enjoyable that you can almost forget the tedium of the first part. Almost,…
Wild at Heart has a most unusual romantic premise … and a hero who is not only heroic, but endearing as well. Patricia Gaffney’s writing is virtually word perfect, and simply glows. This is a very, very nice book. It’s 1893 Chicago, site of the World’s Fair. Sydney Darrow (I just loved her name), is…
Put on your running shoes … Christina Skye’s Bride of the Mist is a fast-paced marathon of love, betrayal, past-lives, psychic visions, centuries-old hatred, modern-day bombs, evil twins, hot sex, romantic hideaways, roses, quaint cottages, Scottish highlands and British abbeys, ghostly ancestors and phantom cats … and more! Whew! 407 pages that flew by at…
Bride of the Mist is a quick-reading, suspense-filled, erotic love story set amongst the majesty of the English and Scottish countryside. Overflowing with lush descriptions, second-sight, a ghost and a cat, this is a page-turning, heart-stomping tale of a love between man and woman that endured throughout time. Although primarily a contemporary romance, the story…
