If you thought you were going to relive the romantic adventures of Robin Of The Hood and Lady Marian when you purchased The Thief’s Mistress, you’ll be surprised and maybe a little disappointed, because until the two characters finally do have sex, you’re at page 306 and still remembering Marian willingly doing it with Guy…
Some readers love books that are emotionally intense. I am not one of them, but if I were, Barbara Freethy would be on the top of my list. One True Love is a beautifully written book about two people who have been through an experience that any parent who loves his or her newborn has…
One True Love is a very good contemporary romance that gives the reader three love stories all blended into a fast-moving and often very emotional novel. The main story is the reunion of Nick Maddux and his former wife Lisa Alvarez. Nick and Lisa were married eight years ago and were deeply in love. When…
“Once upon a time” are words that cue children and adults alike to snuggle into their chairs, suspend all disbelief, and open hearts and minds to the wonders of a great story. Lured by glowing cover blurbs and reviews (you’d think after more decades of reading than I care to admit I’d know better, wouldn’t…
Staff Sergeant Matt Beltran is in a fix. He’s a single man, a career Airborne officer, and somebody’s left him with a little package in his car – a significant little package that wets and cries and wants to call him Daddy. Into Matt’s life steps Corey Madsen. She’s had a rough year. She’s lost…
By Love Undone should perhaps be subtitled The Great Pretender because I was thoroughly convinced this was a major keeper throughout nearly the first half. Then the book turned from major keeper to a series of eye-rolling episodes that seemed too clichéd given the inventive first half. Yes, the lead characters I’d fallen in love…
It’s a rare occurrence when I can’t bring myself to finish a book. It’s rarer still when I actually throw one against the wall, heedless of the damage it might take. I threw The Marquess. I probably would have stomped on it had there not been other people present. The Marquess is a well-written book,…
Mostly, I liked this book. Mostly. But, it had a few quirks, pushed a few limits, was a bit too icky in places, so that I didn’t enjoy this book as much as I had wanted to. Duncan Sarratt is lying dead. At his feet, his wife is being raped. Young Jake and Ben are…
Annie Parker is a doctor, skilled, compassionate, lonely. Rafe McCay is an outlaw, wounded, dangerous, a loner. Keeping folks alive is Annie’s business; just staying alive is Rafe’s. She’s soft and responsive; he’s rough and unyielding. A dating service would never have put these two together, but, lucky for us, Linda Howard did. Annie’s the…
You take a partially trained witch who was raised in part by Puritans, add a jaded billionaire, and bring them together. My first thought was (with minimal eye-rolling), only in a romance. After a few pages, I became a believer. In Breath of Magic, Teresa Medeiros demonstrated to me why so many fans believe she…
