With the Harlequin Presents line, you know what to expect: international tycoons, humble Cinderellas, fabulous and exotic settings, and the life of the upper crust. If you are prepared to take all this silliness in stride, you still want decent characterization and plot that makes sense. In A Legacy of Secrets by Carol Marinelli, the…
I am a fan of Ruthie Knox’s works. Her books are filled with characters it’s easy to care for, zingy conversations, smoking love scenes, and realistic relational conundrums. Thus I am not a whit surprised I like her latest, Flirting with Disaster, the third book in her Camelot series. This consistently entertaining series features the…
This is the sixth book in Allison Brennan’s Lucy Kincaid series. I have not read all of the other books in the series and my review of the book might suffer a little for my lack of background knowledge. This book was more of a suspense book with romantic elements than a true romantic suspense…
I really wanted to like this book because it touches on a lot of themes that warm my heart. It’s about family, and communication, and two very different people who should fill each other’s fundamental needs. But the main characters were so horribly written that I had to wonder why the writer was straining so…
I’ve read good things about Lauren Baratz-Logsted’s The Bro-Magnet and was excited to read her modern update of Pride and Prejudice. While parts of Pursuing the Times are funny, I didn’t like the characters and found the heroine particularly annoying. This didn’t work for me in any sense, and for the most part was a…
Juliana Grey’s writing in How to Tame Your Duke flows beautifully and she does a lovely job of painting pictures with her words. However, while the writing works from a stylistic perspective, much of one’s enjoyment of this book will hinge on one’s ability to suspend disbelief. And as I read, I just couldn’t do…
If you’re looking for a nice, light read to take on vacation this summer, The Look of Love would be an excellent choice. Andre has written a romantic story that is perfectly sweet and great for a beach read. In first book of the Sullivan series, we meet Chase Sullivan as he rescues Chloe Peterson…
First, and most importantly, don’t be fooled by the title. This book should be titled One Night with a Former Rodeo Star or One Night with a Soldier, because cowboy this guy ain’t. Not even close at this point in his life. So walking into the story there’s one expectation exploded. Unlike other books about…
If it hadn’t been for the hero, Tucker Jenkins, this story would have been a solid C. However, the actions and behavior of the aforementioned Mr. Jenkins made this book a definite F. Ugh. Thinking back on it, there have been few male leads that have ever annoyed me as much as this character did….
Game On by debut author Tracy Solheim is an easy, entertaining – if somewhat predictable – summer read. Shane Devlin is an NFL quarterback recently fired from his team, in part because of his bad-boy image. He’s spending some time in Cabo San Lucas to decompress while he waits for news from his agent about…
