Like many of you, I suspect, I cut my teeth on the old “Harlequin Presents” romances, where nothing more passionate took place between the hero and heroine than a few steamy kisses. Which was just as well, since if Sister Ruth had caught us with what we were reading instead of Latin textbooks, we’d’ve been…
Oh Susannah is published by Ponder Romance, a small Canadian company currently being sued by Harlequin. With its limited budget, Ponder is obviously the underdog in this scenario. Since I sympathize with Ponder’s plight, I really hoped I would like this book. Series romances with a Canadian focus sound like a great idea. Unfortunately, this…
The Long Way Home is the sequel to Desert Isle Keeper Little Darlin’, and while The Long Way Home does stand alone, I highly recommend that you find Little Darlin’ first and read it too. Rita Warren has made a lot of really big mistakes in her life. She bore a child out of wedlock…
Sometimes a book comes along that makes us take a real look at ourselves through the laughter. Until I read Bridget Jones’s Diary, I never thought I would enjoy a book that is in diary form, much less give it Desert Isle Keeper status. Not only is it funny, it is autobiographical for any number…
Here is the stuff of soap operas of old. Penny Jordan has given us the Crightons, a large, wealthy, dysfunctional British family, and she is painstakingly writing her way through them, couple by couple. The Perfect Sinner continues the saga in a book that combines uneven pacing with distasteful characters and an abrupt “To Be…
I read Mariah Stewart’s new book Priceless in an advanced reading copy that was so full of typos and editing errors that it was a struggle to get past them. But once I managed to don my error filtering blinders, I concentrated on the story and characters and enjoyed myself. The storyline in Priceless managed…
Initially, I was excited to be assigned this book to review. A hunky underwater archaeologist and a beautiful salvage diver working together to discover hidden treasure in a sunken Civil War blockade runner – what a great premise. Lots of potential for romance, adventure, excitement! But as I continued to read, my hopes sunk lower…
Heaven, Texas is the second book in Susan Elizabeth Phillips’ football series, all of which can be read independently from one another. The first book in her football series is It Had To Be You, continues with Nobody’s Baby But Mine, and finishes with Dream a Little Dream. Personally, I do not like football. I…
Could there be a more controversial topic to write about in a romance novel than this interracial romance between a white cop, Jason Horn, and an African American graphic designer, Leah Downey, who live and work in and around New York City? I doubt it but if you want to read it as written by…
Clay Yeager’s Redemption is another terrific series romance – I seem to be reading a lot of them lately am thoroughly enjoying myself! It’s an intense story of one man’s efforts to deal with the aftermath of a family tragedy, and the woman he meets who is haunted by her own demons. Davis takes a…
