For those of you who, like me, were disappointed in Remember When, Judith McNaught’s last book, you’ll be glad to know she is back in form again with Night Whispers. Sloan Reynolds is a detective on the Bell Harbor Police Force. Suddenly, she gets a call from the father she hasn’t seen in 30 years…
I have enjoyed Marilyn Pappano’s series romances very much. She is a wonderful storyteller with a knack for developing characters you truly care about and who remain with you after you close the book. Her mainstream romances have those same qualities of emotional intensity and memorable characters that mark her series books. Some Enchanted Season…
Much as I love Jayne Ann Krentz’s books, I can’t get into the whole Seattle coffee drinking thing. Coffee is something you have to learn to like and I never learned. Now chocolate is a whole other thing. I’m certain we are born loving it. Hot Chocolate is a tasty anthology of four stories all…
Yes!! Suzanne Brockmann finally hit another home run book in her Navy SEAL series. I thought the last two – Everyday, Average Jones and Harvard’s Education were good, but not as good as Prince Joe or Forever Blue – my favorites. I liked everything about this one: the heroine, the hero and the action. William…
Catherine Hart’s Impulsive is a treat for readers out there like me who enjoy sports. Note: Editors, there are quite a few of us out there hint, hint. Impulsive is, in part, a great romantic comedy. Unfortunately, a tacked-on mystery subplot added nothing to the book. It all evens out to a B-. Jessica Myers…
There’s something very appealing about the idea of undying love. The idea of love transcending death is a comforting notion as few of us have any idea of what awaits us once we quit this mortal plane. No doubt this explains the fascination I’ve always had with ghosts and love from beyond the grave. It…
Karen Robards is a very uneven writer. Some of her earlier books are old-fashioned bodice rippers at their worst. In her most recent book, The Senator’s Wife, main character Ronnie Honneker is a selfish, greedy, air-headed, little twit and I’m being kind to describe her in those terms! But in 1995, Ms Robards published Walking…
You know how in the movies you can tell when a story is going to be strange because of the music? They play that minor-key violin underscore which has a kind of sick sound to it, just to keep you on edge and to prepare you for the icky stuff that’s coming. When I opened…
The first real romance I read was The Raider by Jude Deveraux, so I kind of have a soft spot for her work. While in general the quality of her books seems to be slipping, every now and then she’ll write one that’s pretty good. The Blessing is a mixed bag. Some of it was…
I finished Mountain Dreams a couple of days ago, and have been struggling ever since with this review. Mountain Dreams is an anthology containing two complete novels by the same author. These stories were purposefully published together because they each deal with innocent young heroines, secret agent heroes who think the women are something they…
