The summary on the back cover of Always To Remember ends with the statement that “sometimes love – like courage – whispers instead of shouts.” That is how I will remember this book. It is filled with small moments. There is no feisty heroine and no arrogant hero. There are simply two wounded people brought…
Lion’s Legacy is the fitting finale to a Scottish medieval trilogy written by Suzanne Barclay. This book is a quick, but exciting romance that sets treachery and betrayal against the wildness and isolation of Scotland. Set in the 1300’s, the trilogy explores the trials and tribulations of the Carmichael, Sutherland and MacLellan clans. The first…
Simply put, Lynna Banning’s Western Rose is a charming, heart-warming, tear-wrenching read that will engage the reader from the first to the last. It’s a re-make of Shakespeare’s Taming of the Shrew with lots of western flair. The hero, Jake Bannister, needs land with access to water to save his drought-parched ranch. He is offered…

Our lovely heroine, the widowed and destitute Libby Ross, is left stranded in the small town with no job and no prospects. In desperation, Libby accepts a job as a cook offered by the…
Although I cried four times while reading The Pearl Stallion, this book isn’t your typical tearjerker. It’s a very special love story about a darkly brooding hero and a beautiful, intelligent heroine that will touch even the most cynical heart. The story begins in 19th century Calcutta, India and centers around the conflict between Captain…
Set aside the rather far-fetched mid-section of this book and what’s left is a sensual jewel. The bold beginning of this book of love is the celebration of marriage between Lady Emily Maitland and the irresistible Major Blake. However, there is no Major Blake – he is the Lady’s creation, concocted (with her grandmother) to…
