Anne Stuart’s Prince of Danger is so well written that it took me awhile to determine why I didn’t enjoy it as much as I could have. This author is an expert story-teller and it is easy to become caught up in her mastery. In fact, I whipped through the first half of this book…
With Tempting Kate, author Deborah Simmons has proven that she is a multiple personality author, capable of writing in more different styles than any other romance author this reviewer has read, In The Vicar’s Daughter, she wrote frothily, funnily, and sexily. In Taming the Wolf, she wrote dark, dank, and moody. In The Devil Earl…
I raced through the first third of this book on a tear, totally engrossed in the tale Kim Cates was telling, thinking to myself, “Goody! This one is going to be as good as Stealing Heaven!” Then I came to a critical scene. On one hand I applauded the author for handling it in a…
As a fan of Jayne Ann Krentz in her incarnation as historical romance author Amanda Quick, I wasn’t sure what to expect from her incarnation as futuristic author Jayne Castle.

The author infuses the story with surprisingly humorous scenes, adding a fresh and invigorating appeal to the tale. Thera of Mercia is…
Lady Gallant by Suzanne Robinson very much changed the way I look at romance novels. Tautly crafted, well researched and psychologically riveting, this book knocked my socks off. Be forewarned, however; this is no hearts and flowers love story. It is tense, gritty, but ultimately a very satisfying read. Part of the reason I love…
The Thorn and the Thistle is wonderful entertainment. If you like romances that are well-written, exciting, and set in the Highlands, I’d like to recommend this book to you. It may not be filled with hidden levels and deep meaning, but it’s a heck of a good story and I’m about to glom Julie Moffett….
