Quiet, like a meandering herd through a sunlit meadow – pretty, but slow-moving – The Last True Cowboy is a very p-a-c-e-d read. It’s my first Kathleen Eagle, so I have no personal frame of reference on her other works, but having heard such wonderful things about the author, I was anxious to read this…
“Women and horses were K.C.’s favorite kind of folks. He had superb instincts about both. Give him five minutes with a sullen woman or a skittish filly and he’d know exactly what she needed. He also had good instincts about fullfilling those needs, and he had turned his instincts into an art form. It wasn’t…
The cover of Truly Madly Yours is unusual. Somewhat reminiscent of a sixties greeting card, it’s stylized and hip. The book itself is very much like that; it’s very hip, and maybe a little edgy. It has interesting characters and an Idaho setting that really gives you a sense of place. It makes for a…
I’ve been looking forward to Rachel Gibson’s second novel after Simply Irresistible but I was disappointed in this one. There were problems with underdeveloped characters and lapses in logic. These problems were made worse by a hero I did not like at all. Delaney Shaw left Truly, Idaho, to go to college after having been…
There are really three lead characters in Jennifer Crusie’s Anyone But You – Alex, the 30-year-old doctor with a penchant for Daffy Duck shorts, Nina, the 40-year-old divorcee who left her first husband because she no longer wanted to be a “Country Club Wife,” and Fred, the sad-eyed, bad-breathed, Oreo-chomping dog who brings them together….
This is a cozy, comforting book without a lot of suspense (there’s some at the end) that’s just perfect book to curl up with in front of your Christmas tree and fireplace. Even though it’s not a thrill a minute, it’s a very enjoyable story that will keep you reading. Georgia Enright is a ballerina…
Susan Elizabeth Phillips’ Lady Be Good is, in a word, terrific. The characters are richly drawn, and that includes both the primary hero and heroine, and the secondary characters as well. It’s hilarious too, incredibly sexy, and extremely well written – included in all that funny and sensual writing is a surprising amount of depth….
Who wouldn’t want a fairy godmother or father? Someone to make your dreams come true? Throw in a little romance and you’ve got the guaranteed Cinderella formula, right? Wrong. I knew from the moment I read the back cover of Love Me Tender that I might be in for a rough read. First the narrator…
I liked the Fortune’s Children miniseries that Silhouette put out last year. Apparently a lot of other people did, too, because they’re bringing the Fortune family back for a new mini-series. This is the first new book, and the rest will be in the Silhouette Desire line that will lead up to a single title…
Paula Detmer Riggs is one writer who has never disappointed me. I have all of her Silhouette category novels and have enjoyed each and every one of them. When I read one of her books, I know I can expect a story that engages me and characters who are memorable. Taming the Night is a…
