The language and dialogue in the opening of Charmingly Yours remind me of the old TV sitcom Designing Women. But while I enjoyed Designing Women, it took me multiple attempts to read the first chapters of this romance. The author seems to introduce a cast of thousands and most use endless similes – generally with…
Hugh Mackay once said, “Life is messy. Relationships are complex. Outcomes are uncertain. People are irrational.” It certainly seems as though Karen White used that quote as the blueprint for her new novel Flight Patterns. Georgia Chambers is an expert on fine china—especially Limoges, a French hard-paste porcelain. Her expertise means she is often consulted…

Scott Kincaid is feeling a little jealous of all the love and happiness going around. His sisters are both happy with their respective partners (who also happen to be his…
Narrated by Marian Hussey I decided to review The Trouble with Being Wicked solely on the strength of narrator Marian Hussey whose work has impressed me in the past. I was also quite intrigued by the book synopsis, which tells of a romance between an ex-courtesan and an uptight, very proper young viscount who is…
I’ve never lived in the South but will admit to a fascination with Southern life; and while I can’t verify its authenticity, I liked the southern small-town flavor of this book.
