From the imaginative author of Romancing the Stone, Catherine Lanigan brings us her most recent adventure through a life that offers romance, strength and revenge along with just a dash of the dark side of human nature — deceit. In Love’s Shadow is a story of three women who have surrendered large portions of their…
Maggie’s Wish is a fairly well-written, “married to the wrong man” kind of a story. It has some strong characterizations and a likeable hero and heroine. The setting, 1880s Prescott, Arizona, is well-described and interesting. If it weren’t for the heroine spending a little too much time worrying about the wrong man, it would be…
Lord Carew’s Bride is a Regency Romance about a very unlikely couple. Though the hero is wealthy and titled, he is plain and hindered by a disability. The heroine is beautiful and popular, but she is avoiding love. It is magical to watch their initial friendship grow into love. Samantha Newman is visiting her friends…
Okay, I admit it … my introduction to Ms. Krentz was less than auspicious. I read Gift of Fire and Gift of Gold, and to be honest, I wasn’t crazy about either one. Still, something brought me back to Jayne Ann and I’ve not been disappointed. First of all, I like the way her main…
Sometimes when strolling through the shelves of a favorite bookstore, you will come across an author that tweaks a memory and you think, “It seems to me I read a very good book of hers a long time ago.” Well, that’s exactly what happened to me with this book. As I began to read I…
In her second installment of the Quinn Brothers trilogy, Nora Roberts is Rising Tides as well as the temperature on the Chesapeake shores. I have been waiting for this book since I finished Sea Swept, the premier of the Quinn brothers and the start of a love affair I envy in Cam and Anna’s relationship….
There’s been a murder committed in the Emergency Room OR. The victim was a suspected drug dealer, or so Angel Martino, trauma nurse, is led to believe. The OR has been “locked down” evidence in this case has gone missing and now, Detective Matt Flanagan is on Angel’s tail, ready to chew her up and…
Ewww!!! That was my reaction time and again while I was reading Once In Paris, a contemporary romance by Diana Palmer. Let me make myself clear, I do not mind it when there is an age discrepancy between the hero and heroine in a romance – LaVyrle Spencer did a wonderful job handling a romance…
I’ve read Michelle Martin’s previous two books, Stolen Hearts and Stolen Moments, and loved them. They were cute, funny, filled with endearing characters, and had enough action to move the plot along and keep me interested. The Long Shot has some of the same elements, but has more of a serious tone to it. If…
Rising Tides is the second in Nora Roberts’ Quinn Brothers series. It’s not as good as the first in the trilogy, Sea Swept, but it’s still quite good. There’s somewhat less of the Quinn’s masculine brotherhood to savor, although the poignant and precarious situation of Seth Quinn, their adopted younger brother, remains. And while the…
