Lately, I’ve begun to think that there’s nothing new under the romance sun; it seems that every time I pick up a romance, I find myself thinking, “Been there, done that, ho-hum.” Then I come across a book like Nell, and my faith is restored, replenished, renewed. I cannot say enough good things about this…
“BLAZE …Three romantic, red-hot stories. Feel the heat! BLAZE. It’s hot … and it’s out of control! Three sizzling love stories from today’s hottest writers!” Uh, I didn’t write that. Those sentences are what appear on the covers of this anthology. You’ll have to read these three stories for yourself to decide whether or not…
There’s just something about a Cinderella romance – the poor girl getting the prince – that’s very appealing. Or in the case of Golden Man by Evelyn Rogers, the average woman gets the too-good-to-be-true President of the United States. When a fairy tale adaptation works, it’s great.

I’ve heard some pretty marvelous things about Sharon Sala, but hadn’t had the opportunity to read this author until I was assigned her latest book, Reunion.

Ever read a book that would have been good except for that one thing that drove you completely nuts? Well, Luke by Jennifer Blake started out as a pretty good book and then I found that one thing – the heroine. April Halstead is a romance novelist. Supposedly she’s a good one, and for the…
The first few chapters of Homeplace had me laughing out loud, and I settled myself in for a fun read. Unfortunately, it gradually lost steam – the quality of writing became more uneven, and the characters less interesting. It had some humorous moments, but by the end it was only a shadow of what it…
I’ve enjoyed the first two books in Nora Roberts Chesapeake Bay trilogy, and Inner Harbor makes a nice ending to it. All the secrets concerning Seth’s parentage are revealed and we get to see more of his trashy mother, Gloria, and the swath of destruction she leaves in her path. Dr. Sybill Griffin arrives in…
