I just had the kind of month that just wasn’t good for reading. You probably know how it is – kids this, work that, family obligations here and something else going on there. So it took me awhile to really get into Lord of the Sea. Once I got into it, though, I really got…
I am always on the lookout for a good colonial romance. After reading Dangerous Indenture, I am still on the lookout for a good colonial romance, because Dangerous Indenture certainly wasn’t one. Romance fans know to never judge a book by its title, but this book is just as ludicrous and old-school as you’d stereotype…
Taciturn rancher Morgan Longstreet advertised for a bride in the papers back East, and Jane Middlebourne, eager to escape her wretched relatives, answered. When Jane arrives in Bitter Springs, Wyoming, she and Morgan take a few days to get to know each other, then decide to proceed with the marriage. But both Jane and Morgan…
The Rebel Pirate is old school. Not in the flowery bodice-ripper sense, but in the lush, dramatic, action adventure sense. It’s full of twists and turns, and there is always – always – something going on. Though it isn’t a perfect read, I really enjoyed it. Sarah Ward is the daughter of a famous pirate…
Have you ever sat down to read a book and just not clicked with it? There’s nothing clearly wrong with the story—no major plot holes or overly annoying characters. All the same, you find yourself unable to really enjoy reading it. My latest experience with this feeling occurred when I opened up Promise Me Texas….
Narrated by Kaleo Griffith The third in the Mackinnon’s Rangers series, Defiant delivers an above average American Historical tale set during the French and Indian War. To better visualize this time frame, think Daniel Day Lewis in The Last of the Mohicans. Although I see Lewis as Iain (the hero of Surrender), the action and…
When I saw the cover of Rebecca Hagan Lee’s A Wanted Man, I have to admit that I expected a gunslinger romance of some sort. The title and cover just do not match the tale of boomtown San Franscisco that I encountered instead. While it has its moments and I found the background fascinating, I…
Mrs. O’Leary’s cow was falsely accused of starting the Great Chicago Fire. While it is accurate that the fire started in the O’Leary’s barn, no one is quite sure how. What is known is that hundreds died in the flames which claimed 3.3 square miles of the city. Into the Whirlwind takes this terrible tragedy…
I find it pretty hard to resist a Revolutionary War romance, so when I saw that Kerrelyn Sparks was releasing one, I snapped it up. Imagine my surprise when I discovered it’s actually a sequel to her first book – which I also reviewed over a decade ago. I had remembered that one as being…
I have read all of Kaki Warner’s books to date and have enjoyed all of them. In Behind His Blue Eyes she has given readers another solid book to enjoy, but it does not quite live up to some of her earlier attempts. I do not want to give any Warner fans reasons not to…
