Heroine Tyanna Montgomery won my heart on page four of Tell Me You Love Me when someone approaches her in a dark gym parking lot and, instead of screaming or being a helpless victim, she punches and kicks her would-be assailant until he collapses onto the pavement. Now that’s a woman I can root for!…
Stuck On You is a nice mix of romantic comedy and mystery set in Plentiful, Wyoming, a cute and quaint town populated with cute and quaint characters. While a pleasant enough read, it lacked that certain spark that would have lifted it much above average. Scarlett O’Malley’s father was a rich and famous mystery writer…
Last year I discovered Karen Templeton and glommed her books. I enjoyed all of them, fell in love with the town of Spruce Lake, Michigan, where most of them are set, and put her on my automatic buy list. When I began What A Man’s Gotta Do, I was happy to see it takes place…
If you’re looking for a book to jump-start your reading during these gray January days, look no further. She Went All the Way is a fast, funny, sexy, romantic ride. I’ll admit right off the bat that I’m a sucker for those Hollywood romances. And, even though I’ve polished off quite a few of them…
One of the great perks of reviewing is that you sometimes end up reading a book that you otherwise might have let stay in the TBR pile for awhile. For me, that was the case with Julie Kenner’s Nobody But You. I would have picked up the book anyway, because it sounds fun and has…
As a fan of short story anthologies, I am always on the look out for new titles to enjoy. Living Large from Signet was a nice treat for my short story addiction. The contemporary romance anthology features four stories about plus sized women of color. The heroines were refreshingly confident about their size and it…
As I approached the end of this book, I discovered that I was reading faster and faster. Not because it was such a good story, but because I just couldn’t wait to be done with it. Poor writing, an excess of mental lusting, and a truly boneheaded hero made reading Housebreaking a Husband an unpleasant…
On the one-year anniversary of her husband Richard’s death, Annie Hunter comes home to find a 13-year-old boy asleep on her front porch. He says his name is Cullen, and Richard was his birth father. Though her first instinct is not to believe him, Annie soon has to face the possibility that it might be…
Lead Me On has some very nice moments and I would encourage you to give it a try. I hadn’t read the first book in what I assume will be a trilogy, so the St. Claire siblings (Adrian, Allison, and Aurora (Rory from Falling for You) were strangers to me. This is Allison’s story, and…
Joan Wolf is a major comfort read for me. I’ve read more of her books than just about any other romance author. And while all of her books have not been A’s for me, I have yet to encounter one that was terrible and several times she has approached near perfection. Beloved Stranger, a short…
