Unbreak My Heart combines romance, women’s fiction and romantic suspense in a novel that is a bit slow to start, but quick to pick up speed. For some, it may try to be too many things for too many people, sacrificing character for storyline. Shortly after nine year old Allie Bennett’s sister Megan was killed…
Part of me is always afraid to reread an old favorite, especially if I originally read it in my pre-reviewing days. What if it doesn’t measure up? What if it’s not as good as I remembered? With Paradise, I needn’t have worried. I started it during a week when I had about a million other…
I predict Nobody’s Angel could join a list of books (if there is such a list) that includes titles that readers either loved or hated, with me tending toward the latter. Books like Sarah’s Child or authors like Dara Joy. However you feel about them, you feel it strongly. Patricia Rice’s latest will most likely…
I’d never read a book by Fern Michaels, so I was glad when I got the opportunity to review Plain Jane. Unfortunately, this book fails at practically every level – it has overly cute dogs, an unlikable heroine and a hero who defies description. Twelve years after Connie Bryan, the popular Homecoming Queen at LSU,…
Catch a Dream by Mary Jane Meier features a heroine, Meg, who breaks up with her fiancé (who also happens to be her boss) while on a camping trip to Yellowstone. Only after he’s gone does she realize that her purse is still in his car. Now she has no man, no job, no money,…
If you’re like me, the sight of Susan Andersen’s name on a silly cartoon cover makes you look forward to a few hundred pages of funny, sexy entertainment. All Shook Up does not disappoint, but neither does it contain any big surprises. J.D. Carver is a survivor of the foster care system, and the only…
Fellow AAR reviewer and ATBF columnist Robin Nixon Uncapher asked us about our buried treasures for 2000 for the January 1st issue of the column. I’m going to have to count Neesa Hart among mine. I’ve enjoyed most of this author’s works, and her latest might even be my favorite. You Made Me Love You…
The Wrong Child started off as a great family drama that I thought might earn a special spot on my keeper shelf. That would have been wonderful, as I’ve read a string of “eh” books lately. A turn worthy of the Lifetime Channel, however, steered this one down to a C+ for me. Abbie Bernard…
Oh dear. Here I was hoping that the Encanto line meant there would be some well-written stories about Latinos. Well, they got the Latino part right, but aside from only one or two books I’ve liked, they have to work on the “well-written” part of the equation – most have been rather mediocre. Blue Moon…
This Perfect Kiss is a really fun book. It’s very contemporary, with characters that actually seem to live on the same planet we do – at least most of the time. It’s also funny in a very outlandish way. Occasionally it really goes over the top, but most of the time I was having way…
