A Rose at Twilight is one of many historical romance titles from decades past which have been reissued by Open Road Media in digital formats. This re-issue of a title originally published in 1992 is set shortly after the Battle of Bosworth, which saw the demise of King Richard III and the ascent of Henry…
I tend to be a fan of tough heroines. As the eldest of three sisters, I try to have a low tolerance for complaining. I guess it’s no surprise that I enjoy reading about other women who just deal with what life throws at them without whining. But honestly, Paradise Valley took that classic character…
Is Down London Road a technically good book? Maybe not. The writing is a bit unpolished, and the storyline may seem a bit trite to some. But despite its occasional flaws, I couldn’t put it down. Johanna (Jo) Walker knows what she’s good at: being a girlfriend. She dropped out of school at sixteen to…
Narrated by Peter Berkrot Peter Berkrot is a new-to-me narrator and I wasn’t sure of him at first. He has a slightly gravelly voice that can’t be called soothing, but it did fit the suspense setting. As I listened, Peter’s voice became part of the story, and each time I came back to audiobook, the…

Oliver Marshall, the hero of The Heiress Effect is their son,…
In Chaser, the previous book in this series, the villain of the piece is Bobby who loves Caden so much that he tries to sabotage Caden’s love affair with another man. Making Bobby the protagonist of the sequel is a risky step for Reed to take, but he makes it pay off in spades. Although…
Could you be easily replaced? Could someone that knows you become you? Does anyone actually know you well enough to fake being you? Or is your life so unique, so compartmentalized it could never be copied? These are the questions that run through my mind any time I read a book about people switching spots…
This is a very hard to find audiobook not showing any availability at Amazon or eBay. Narrated by Anna Fields What makes a great book even better? An audio book of it – read by Kate Fleming/Anna Fields! Yay! I located a set of cassettes of this out-of-print audiobook, and digitized them as I…

You might recognize this narrator – she’s the voice of the Sookie Stackhouse series by Charlaine Harris. Skintight takes place in Las Vegas where heroine Treena is a dancer in a show. She’s…
