Contemporary Romance

  • Pearl Beyond Price

    This read began with a bang and ended with a whimper. I spent chapter after chapter on a down slope waiting for love to really happen and not just be talked and dreamed to death. Once the end was in sight, the last misunderstanding was quickly solved for our hero and heroine, but I was…

  • Volcano

    Ahhh, the lush setting of a tropical island – the rainforests, the views, the volcanos. St. Lucia has everything the intrepid romance adventurer could hope for. The wonderful thing about romance novels is they can transport you to exotic settings without the reader having to get down and dirty with the bugs, dampness, snakes, etc….

  • Sand Pirates by Ellis Hoff

    Frans Vondel, Interpol agent, has been on the heels of international crime lord, Alexander Trumand, for years. Frans has been stationed on the tiny, eclectic island of Sava as the island’s Burgomaster, a position that appears to be rather like the chief of police. However, there isn’t much of a police force on the island…

  • Pig in a Park

    While I didn’t laugh out loud when reading Pig in a Park, I did have a broad grin plastered to my face from page one, and I don’t say that about many books. The turns of phrase were hilarious and the plotting clever, both of which are very high on my list of preferences. Unfortunately,…

  • Beaudry’s Ghost by Carolan Ivey

    Beaudry’s Ghost is an electronic book available from Dreams Unlimited. It’s not a bad read, and is actually better than many traditionally published ghost romances. Mourning the loss of her twin brother, Taylor Brannon takes his place on a Civil War Reenactment field. Their last conversation ended in a heated argument and Taylor never had…

  • The Wallflower by Jan Freed

    The Wallflower incorporates two great premises: the do-over and the high school crush. What if, knowing what you know now, you could go back to a time and a place in your life and do it better? And what if you could legitimately pursue the crush you had on that fabulous and good-looking teacher back…

  • Pearl Cove by Elizabeth Lowell

    Pearl Cove is the first Elizabeth Lowell book I’ve read, but it certainly won’t be my last. From the first page, I was drawn into a suspenseful plot, fascinating information about pearls and the pearl industry, and most of all, the larger-than-life characters of the Donovan family. Ten years ago, Archer Donovan fell in love…

  • Always Annie

    Infertility is a pretty tough subject to write about in a romance. Always Annie is a book that handles the subject both well and not so well. I want to warn you ahead of time that there are going to be a few spoilers in this review – needful, just to explain the rating. Annie…
