Okay, before I begin this review, let me say that I was biased in reading this book, as Andrea Kane is one of my favorites. The Theft is a spin-off of the first story of hers that I read, Yuletide Treasure, which appeared in the Christmas anthology, Gift of Love. As an added bonus, The…
If there was ever a book with a lead-in that screamed take me home, it would be Undercover Angel. The heroine holding the hero at gunpoint in a contemporary? Sounds like a great way to start. Whoever wrote that blurb, great job! I would have found it difficult to sell this book so well. Trish…
I am one picky reader. I want humor. I want passion. I want two very strong people who respect themselves and each other. I don’t often find a book where I get all these things. Lucky me – I picked up Daring as a spur-of-the-moment purchase, and found a book that has all of these…
I frankly don’t know what to say about this book. But, if you’re willing to stay with me here, I’m willing to take a stab at it. Have you read James Fenimore Cooper’s, The Last of the Mohicans? Voluntarily? Or did you study only parts of it in the tenth grade, as I did? This…
Patricia McLinn’s Widow Woman just missed being a keeper. The elements are there, but it was, ironically, the author’s excellent depiction of the hero which ended up detracting from what otherwise is a first-rate read. This is author McLinn’s first full-length historical, and I’ll be at the front of the line for her next. Well,…
After having read and thoroughly enjoyed The MacGregor Brides last summer, I glommed the first five books of the series with help from author Nora Roberts and her publisher. For those of you who recall, I arranged for Silhouette to send me copies of all the MacGregor books so that I could interview her about…
Petals on the River harkens back to an earlier time in romance. It’s long, involved, bloody, and purple. Author Woodiwiss has an eye for detail and a flare for capturing human emotion, but she writes like she did 20 years ago. Unfortunately, most of us have since moved on. This would have been a much…
Aquamarine is the story of a woman named Kirsten who helps her fiancé find her killer through the power of a crystal seven years after her disappearance. Strange, you might say? Wait – there’s more. Shea McKenzie, a woman fitting Kirsten’s description, shows up in Liberty, Idaho seven years later and teams up Kirsten’s fiancé,…
Catherine Mulveny’s first book, Upon a Midnight Clear was one of my favorites of 1997. Her second book, Man Shy did not make much of an impression on me. Her third, Aquamarine, while not as good as her first, was an enjoyable book with a touch of the paranormal. If only it had been longer,…
Those of you who complain that your medieval romances are not real enough, this book is for you. Terri Brisbin’s first novel is a time travel that takes the reader to medieval Scotland. As part of a tour group on a vacation to Scotland, Maggie Hobbs ends up in the village of Dunnedin where the…
