Topaz links Katherine Love and Dix Wildhorse. Katherine wears the gemstone – her mother’s legacy – around her neck. Dix wears his grandfather’s legacies in one ear and on his badge as a U.S. Marshal. They meet when he rescues her from the clutches of Rupert Samuels, swindler, thief, and all-round bad guy masquerading as…
This is probably the most disappointing book I have read in quite some time, mostly because of what it could have been, but for some reason, wasn’t. Topaz, a multicultural romance, features a wonderful, dynamic and sexy hero, a feisty, determined, independent heroine, and great chemistry. When I first started reading it, for about the…
Don’t you absolutely despise romances with heroines who are models? River of Dreams has just such a heroine, but thank goodness Ms. Lykins manages to swoop her out of the present and into the past, where she is not a model. Fortunately as well, River of Dreams is a well crafted, interesting read. Brianne Davis…
Star Keeper is set during the Revolutionary War, a setting I love but rarely see. That alone sparked my interest. But it also features a strong conflict, lots of action, and noble characters – all of which nearly made the book an A read. While the heroine’s behavior at the end took the book out…
The Last Man in Town has a cute premise: the town of Maple Falls, Minnesota has been stricken by the gold bug, and Lucas Garrett is the only young man in town who hasn’t left for Colorado. Basically the book is an enjoyable one, with a hero and heroine who are good friends before they…
A Soft Touch is a lighthearted historical with entertaining, if rather unlikely, characters and an interesting plot. However, a conflict that is predictable and includes a sort of marriage of convenience as well as the Big Misunderstanding, inconsistencies in the heroine, and stereotypical secondary characters, make this book an average read. Bear McQuaid is a…
I keep meaning to pay a visit to the Buried Treasures page and submit Rosalyn West’s name, because I love her books, but I never hear anyone talking about them but me. Consider this review my annual appeal on her behalf – if you like American Historicals with complex characters and incredible conflicts, please give…
Fans of small-town stories will love Breathless for its setting, while readers who like a good mystery will enjoy the courtroom scenes. Don’t worry – Breathless also has great characters, including a hero and heroine who often match wits with each other. Lily Morgan can’t believe that Daniel Walker has the gall to return to…
For about the first 100 pages of this book, I had to overcome the temptation to toss it through the roof and into orbit. I hated Eulie Toby the heroine, I hated what she had done to Moss Collier, the hero, and above it all I loathed how she kept referring to him as “the…
During the first half of Into the Wild Wind, I just couldn’t get enough of the hero and heroine. Here, it seemed, were two people just falling in love; neither one was trying to overcome a horrible childhood, or a disastrous first marriage. Then the characters began to make stupid decision after stupid decision, and…
