It Happened One Midnight is the eighth book in Ms. Long’s Pennyroyal Green series. The hero is Jonathan Redmond, the youngest of the Redmonds.This fact alone made me consider downgrading this book. I and the rest of Ms. Long’s fans have been impatiently waiting since I Kissed an Earl (#5) to learn what Lyon is…
Narrated by Rosalyn Landor Cathy Maxwell’s The Chattan Curse trilogy which tells the stories of three siblings – Neal, Harry, and Margaret Chattan – whose family was put under a powerful curse almost two hundred years previously. Each book (including the third, The Devil’s Heart) opens with a prologue telling the story of the curse…
Bell’s Something Like series sticks to a reader’s mind and pops up unexpectedly at the oddest moments. It’s the same story told and retold, almost as if Bell were trying to grasp the core of what happens, but knows that perception changes everything. Something Like Summer shows the life-changing events when Ben meets Tim, told…
Location, location, location. That is what our real-estate agents always told us when we were purchasing homes. Location is what attracted me to this story. Books set in Sri Lanka (known as Ceylon during the time period of this book) don’t come along every day. Unfortunately, books depend upon a bit more than just a…
The Devil of Clan Sinclair is poorly named. The hero is, in fact, a very nice guy. Maybe a little too nice. He’s quick to forgive the dishonest and easily manipulated heroine – something I’m not sure I could have done in his place. Virginia Anderson is an American heiress with an ambitious father –…
The Rules of Engagement is a quick, engaging (see what I did there?) comedy of errors which features one of my favorite tropes – that of “friends-to-lovers.” Hugh Trevalyn is a very attractive and charming young man who, in his desire to be able to flirt and enjoy his pleasures with the ladies without being…
Narrated by Susan Duerden Julie Garwood has a widely varied range of stories to tell – she writes medieval and regency and contemporary romantic suspense. She’s even stretched her world across them, with Buchanans popping up in every generation. In Ransom, Brodick Buchanan is laird of the Buchanan clan and godfather to Alec Maitland, the…
If you like a good romantic thriller, The Paris Assignment is certainly worth trying. The plot is a fairly classic one, but the author does a good job of putting her own spin on a much-used trope, resulting in a solid read. Abigail McBane is no delicate flower, but even this strong executive could use…
If there were anything I could say to writers of contemporary, small town romances, it would be that zany characters don’t substitute for actual plot. Honey Pie , the fourth in the Cupcake Club series, suffers terribly from this issue. I kept turning pages and thinking surely something will happen. Sadly, a plot never really…
Narrated by Susan Ericksen Barrister Nick Blackshear is the brother of Will Blackshear (A Gentleman Undone) and Martha Mirkwood (A Lady Awakened). In A Gentleman Undone, Will got his own HEA and married a former courtesan – a completely disrespectable connection – while Nick had broken the relationship with his brother in an attempt to…
