I’m always up for a good fairy-story retelling, and having heard good things about this author, I picked up Beauty and the Highland Beast with reasonably high expectations. I can’t, however, say that they were met, because while the writing is very good and the tension that leads to the dramatic finale is skilfully built,…
Narrated by Fiona Hardingham I saw a favourable review of the print version of this book recently and it inspired me to request the audiobook to review here at AudioGals. The Summer Before the War is not strictly a romance. It contains a subtle romance, yes and that romance does end happily but the story…
I’ve enjoyed a number books by Bronwyn Scott in the past and have generally rated those I’ve reviewed in the B range, but for some reason her latest title, Unbuttoning the Innocent Miss, which is the first in a new series, proved to be big disappointment. The writing is good, the characters are attractive, and…
Narrated by Beverley A. Crick A few months back, I listened to and reviewed Earls Just Want to Have Fun. The book is a kind of mix of Cinderella and Pygmalion, as our Eliza – in this case, a street-urchin by the name of Marlowe – gets to see how the other half lives after…
This is the first in the Bachelor Brotherhood series, featuring three friends with horrible luck with women who’ve temporarily sworn off dating. When I discovered some of the things past-lovers had done I laughed out loud. While each of the friends makes an appearance in this book, the focus is clearly on the hero and…
If you’re a child of the ‘80’s like I am, Loveswept’s line of titles likely served as your first introduction to the romance world. Their prolific clinch covers once lined supermarket shelves across America, rivaling only Harlequin for conspicuousness. “Her Highland Rogue” marks the series’ continued resurrection as a new media line, introducing a fresh…
I really loved the last book by Kira Archer that I read, Loving Her Crazy, so I was looking forward to reading this first one in her new series. It revolves around Natalie and Eric inheriting a combined piece of property from Eric’s aunt who happened to have been Natalie’s landlord. Natalie’s portion is a parking…
This is a standalone novella in the Montana Born Christmas series. Lacey and Austin have a pretty unpleasant history. He was the arresting officer in a case that Lacey was inadvertently involved in due to her relationship with the leader of the drug ring. Imprisoned for three years, she’s finally free to try to pick up…
I’ve definitely been in a M/M historical kick recently. I blame K.J. Charles. But I’ve already finished all (but one!) of those, so I was looking to branch out a bit. And then I found this one. Jonathan Reese, hero number one, is a former soldier and now a spy for England. Hero number two…
The Marriage Contract is the start of new mafia romance series featuring three families whose lives are intertwined by violence and intrigue – the O’Malley’s, The Sheridans and The Hallorans. Each book is a standalone romance, but there’s a clear sense that there will be a continuing story arc from one book to the next…
