I don’t think I’ll ever forget where I was when I read Bound to Happen. I had started it on a flight from Denver to Newark and ended up finishing it as I sat for three hours on an airplane that never did take off. I was reading it in galley form and sharing with…
After reading Catch of the Day, I’ve decided I may give up on Marcia Evanick. The book starts off with enough juvenile humor and internal lusting that I nearly threw it across the room. Things did improve, but not enough to make me try the author again anytime soon. Gwen Fletcher, a single gourmet chef,…
Blue Bayou is an uneven read even as it is well-written. The plot and characters were annoying at times, but I still wanted to finish the book. My overall impression is that author Ross has a reservoir of talent that wasn’t particularly well represented with this story. Jack Callahan, bad boy of Blue Bayou, has…
Lola Carlyle Reveals All pits former model and current lingerie maven Lola against government agent Max Zamora. Max is on the run from a powerful drug lord when he steals a yacht. Unfortunately, Lola is inside, and the ensuing scuffle leaves Max and Lola stranded in the ocean on a disabled boat. As they work…
I’ll admit it. I chose to review Miss Match based on the cover. The art has a comic book style that seemed fun, breezy, and contemporary. Unfortunately, while the book is contemporary, it isn’t exactly fun or breezy. It has the potential to be both, but a number of flaws bog it down. Kathryn “Kitty”…
Even though I often refer to my sister Anne as The Pickiest Reader In The World, there is one type of book where I am picker than she is – romantic comedy. I love all kinds of comedy and am not the type of woman to turn up her nose as slapstick. That said, I…
Kimberly Cates’ latest offering deals with finding yourself on a path in life without knowing how you got there – but knowing that you want to get off of it. Hannah O’Connell has had a tough year; her daughter Becca has gone off to college, her marriage isn’t working and she’s recently had a hysterectomy….
Queen is quite possibly the most emotionally manipulative book I’ve ever read. Unfortunately, due to its poor writing quality, excessive head hopping, and lack of character development, all of its intrinsic machinations come to naught. I didn’t care at all about any of the characters, and I thought the story was supremely ridiculous and annoying….
A Marriage to Fight For was first released in the UK (where I live) in 2001 and was, for me, one of the best books I read last year. This superb book, which is an example of series romance at its absolute best, moved me greatly. It is the story of a family in crisis…
Dark of the Night by Dee Davis works as a satisfyingly engaging mystery/thriller but sadly, despite the gratuitous number of graphic sex scenes, remains a rather tepid romance. Riley O’Brien is the daughter of Senator Carter O’Brien, a Clinton-esque presidential candidate from Atlanta. Riley’s mother and sister died tragically almost twenty years earlier, and so…
