Hannah Howell combines two of her favorite subjects – life for pioneers in the 1800s and brave Scotsmen – in this pleasant though not outstanding first volume of her Seven Brides for Seven Scotsmen series, The Scotsman Who Saved Me. Fleeing from an upper crust English world to settle in the American Ozarks, Emily Stanton…
Hot Pursuit is the latest in Julie Ann Walker’s Black Knights Inc. series which features a group of ex- special forces operatives who now work for a covert government defence firm set up by a former US President. The book is billed as romantic suspense, but disappointingly, it’s neither romantic nor particularly suspenseful; the central…
I loved The Scot Beds His Wife. It’s romantic, captivating, and the principal characters are charismatic and well-matched. Readers familiar with earlier books in the series will enjoy a return to Wester Ross (in the Scottish Highlands), and getting to know Lord Gavin, the Earl of Thorne, whom we caught brief, tantalizing glimpses of in…

An AAR Top 100 Romance originally published on March 4, 2003 Connie Brockway is a goddess. Talk about your buried treasures; while many people are familiar with her more recent historicals – The Bridal Season and Bridal Favors – her unique skill and imagination most shine through for me in some of her earlier stories….

Charles in which two very different men undertake a journey to foil an elopement and, along the way, discover that perhaps they’re not so very different after all. The audiobook clocks in at around four-and-a-half hours, but a thoroughly…
I’ve read a number of books by Georgie Lee over the last few years, and while I’ve enjoyed some more than others, she has yet to write the book that wows me and turns her into an auto-read author. Unfortunately, I’m still waiting, because although Courting Danger with Mr. Dyer, is a more than decent…
I picked up Odd Child Out on a bit of a whim. I’d heard some great things about Ms. MacMillan’s work, the synopsis caught my attention, and looked like something I’d enjoy. Unfortunately, I didn’t do enough research into the author’s work before deciding to review this book, and I ended up more than a…
Clean drinking water. It’s something that the majority of people in the Western world take for granted but for many on Earth, it is a luxury that remains seemingly out of reach. In A Dangerous Legacy the history of water in the New York tenements comes to life amidst the backdrop of a scintillating mystery…
Maeve Greyson opens up her nicely written but poorly plotted new series of time travel romances with Sadie’s Highlander, the first in what promises to be a series of stories about the MacDara clan – a tribe of Scottish brothers who can trace their bloodlines back to the ancient Druids, and who are destined to…
