Calder’s Rose gets an A for its main idea, in which two authors collaborate on a book featuring their popular series’ characters. If only the execution had been as good as the idea, this would have been a keeper, but the book has too many problems to be more than just average. Shane McNamara writes…
Nerd in Shining Armor was a title I just couldn’t resist. I admit to enjoying the sight of an attractive guy, but looks are nothing without brains, and nerds are among my favorite heroes. In this book, the nerd in question gets stranded on an island with the heroine – and fortunately, plenty of condoms….
Who are all these people?! I gather that The Lost Dreams is part of a series since the characters dropped many references to past events of which I was evidently unaware. Perhaps I would not have been so lost had I read the earlier books, but after reading this one, I’m in no rush to…
Catherine Anderson has a very easy-to-read style that pulls a reader in with its simplicity and flow. Unfortunately, the plot is also simplistic, many characters are clichéd or straight out of central casting, and I’m afraid I was just too cynical to enjoy much of the story. After a horrible accident in which Chloe Evans’…
Shore Lights is a lovely book about family, the relationships between parents and children, and how some feelings go unsaid when you just can’t find the words to express them. Hopefully I can do a little better than the characters in that regard in this review. Maddy Bainbridge and her mother Rose never got along….
Oh boy! A scientist hero!! Oh blah! A Barbie heroine. Well, at least she’s smart. O.K. let’s give it a try. Years ago, Patsy Simonetti was an awkward, skinny, annoying kid. Now, she’s Mara Simon, twice divorced, and a fledgling producer who has come to a picturesque town in South Carolina to shoot a movie….
I’m having some difficulty typing this review as the tips of my fingers have suffered severe burns as a result of holding Silent Confessions, Julie Kenner’s latest. I suppose I should have expected that a romantic suspense featuring a heroine who studies and sells erotica would be a bit on the warm side, but I…
With the opening pages of this story, I found myself thinking, “Ho hum, here we go again with a family feud story. That’s certainly never been done before.” As the story progressed, the conflict moved beyond the family feud, but the ho-hum still remained, despite an interesting premise behind the story. Lawyer Luke Creed wants…
Letters to Kelly takes a lot of risks in a relatively short book. Any one of them would make this stand out as a series romance; the sum total, however, interesting as they all are, make the book a little too crowded to work everything out in 250 pages. Author Brockmann wrote this book very…
After having read and reviewed From Boardwalk With Love, the first novel in the new B.L.I.S.S. series (and giving it an F), I was a bit hesitant when asked to review this one as well. Luckily a change of author made all the difference, and I found myself enjoying this installment much more than the…
