This second book in Kasey Michael’s The Little Season series really had great potential: a smart, witty heroine, a principled hero who for the most part takes the heroine seriously, a mystery, and some wacky secondary characters. Despite a great backdrop, the book never quite lived up to the premise and story overall felt a…
When does something begin and end? The ripples from a stone cast into a pond, do they start with the smoothness of the pebble that first attracts the eye, the impulse to feel it against your palm, to make it skip over water… do they end with the last tiny lap of a wave on…
Narrated by Faye Adele. There’s something about Lorraine Heath’s writing that strikes a real chord with me and pushes all the right emotional buttons; so much so that’s she’s now on my auto-buy list. Given that I am someone who likes listening to audio versions of books I’ve enjoyed, I’ve been keen to listen to…
I’ve been desperate to read The Earl Takes All since I finished Falling into Bed With a Duke, the first book in Lorraine Heath’s Hellions of Havisham Hall series. Even though at that point no synopsis had been published, I had an inkling of where this story might be going – which says a lot…
I’m an unashamed Francophile and chose this book to review because of the French setting and because I’m always on the lookout for historical fiction and/or historical romances set in France. There are surprisingly few around – well, ones that are written in English, anyway, my French not being quite up to novel-reading standard these…
I generally read each new book by Jill Mansell within a few days of release, so I was very excited when this appeared on the review list. I was less excited when I discovered it’s a reissue, but ended up quickly captivated, enjoying both the story and the characters. However, if you’re looking for a…
Narrated by Kaleo Griffith Featuring a cross between the TV series Sex in the City and Alias, Seduction Game is one thrilling spy adventure filled with an overlay of spicy hot passion. And with a last name like Bradshaw, it’s hard not to recognize the similarities between the designer-loving heroine who also happens to work…
The premise of In Bed With the Duke – two complete strangers wake up in bed together and have no idea how they got there – is one I liked the sound of, and I was looking forward to finding out what happened and what they were going to do next. There’s a mystery to…
It all started with The Beekeeper’s Apprentice. I met a young Mary Russell, 15-years-old, living in Sussex Downs after the death of her American family, wandering about with her nose firmly in her book. That’s when Mary met Sherlock Holmes who was as smart, if not smarter, than she was, and I fell in love…
I worry about too cute-meets as they often lead to over-the-top storylines. So when our hero first spots the heroine – or more accurately gets a view of her sexy backside as she’s breaking into his office through a window – I didn’t hold out much hope. Fortunately, while there is a rather convoluted plot…
