Too Hot to Handle just hurts so good. Know what I mean? The hero is very nearly a total S.O.B.; the heroine subjected to torture nearly beyond belief. The love scenes are filled with incredibly purple prose. The incendiary heat between Tory Wells and Ethan Reever begins, nearly impossibly, the moment they meet. And yet,…
Irresistible is very nearly so. While its flawless descriptions of life in Regency England are effectively combined with an intriguing romance, it misses the mark in this way. Regency norms and morés dictated a strict limit to the range of emotions people were allowed to openly express. When these same constraints are applied to writing…
Well, after a long string of books I either really liked or loved, I found one that left me shaking my head in confusion. I just couldn’t figure out why these two people ended up together. Susan Hallston’s neighbor and friend, Linda Kinter, is murdered after a girls’ night out reveals her husband’s secret child…
Ruth Wind is one author who is an automatic buy for me. I snatched Meant to be Married from an open box in the local Wal-Mart and went home to read it. I was glued to the book (with a few time outs to get fresh hankies) until I had finished, then I placed it…
Maggie Anderson is one of those women who’s never on the winning end. I feel that I know her, I feel that a lot of time she’s me. In her youth, she was blessed with poor skin, a figure that’s round and has always needed to lose 20 pounds. Really, nothing has hanged for her….
If I had stopped reading this book after the first chapter, I would not have given it as high a rating. Fortunately, I read on, and I really did enjoy it. Lynda Simons sets up an interesting situation when she pits cowboy-turned-architect-turned-contractor Steve Cooper against feisty, independent, video-producer Eden Wells in a competition to win…
Although I would be hard-pressed to say this is one of the best romance novels ever written, I will say that I enjoyed it enough to lose sleep over it. I started reading it at ten o’clock at night and didn’t quit until I finished it in the wee hours of the morning. The best…
I think I’ve just overdosed. I’ve hit my limit. And it was Granite Man who did it. What limit? My tolerance quota for over-the-top, arrogant, know-it-all, harder than hard, tougher than tough, mean-spirited, hurtful alpha heroes. By the middle of this book, I knew exactly what was coming, exactly how our hero would behave, and…
Geralyn Dawson has written another funny western featuring the McBride Menaces – aka the McBride Blessings. This time around they are in their Uncle Tye’s care while their father and stepmother are on honeymoon. His nieces have Tye pretty much wrapped around their fingers. Tye meets baker Claire Donovan when he mistakenly thinks she has…
With a title like The Bad Luck Wedding Cake, I was expecting a fun book, and I wasn’t disappointed. This book is brimming with laughs and charming, likeable characters. The Bad Luck Wedding Cake is a sequel to the also enjoyable Bad Luck Wedding Dress, which came out a couple of years ago. Although it…
