I don’t know where Linda Howard wants to go with her writing, but wherever that is, I sure hope she keeps writing romance novels. True, I’ve not loved every book she’s written (I’ve read them all), and I’ve hated some of her heroes as much as I’ve loved others. But, when it comes to writing…
When a novel gets off to a really bad start, it’s pretty difficult to recover, and Three Kisses has a very bad beginning. Too much information is packed into a short space, and my progress was slowed by some awkward passages. Though the novel got a little better, I never recovered from that initially bad…
This book was featured in Pandora’s Box for August 2000 The Night Before Christmas has one excellent story, one very good one, one that is not good except for the love scene, and one that is so icky sweet that it made me want to suck a lemon after I read it.
Blue Christmas is an anthology of four stories that all take place during the Christmas season at The Original Heartbreak Hotel in Memphis. All the rooms are decorated in themes related to Elvis movies and it is rumored that the King himself haunts the premises.
I haven’t had much time lately to read any of my beloved romance novels, but one day I couldn’t take it anymore. I needed a fix so I delved into my TBR pile and decided on what proved to be a gem of a book. Black Tree Moon is an excellent way to spend a…
Sigh, I never thought I’d live to see the day when Elizabeth Lowell, mistress of the long and sensual love scene, would write a quickie. Jade Island is the second in Ms Lowell’s series about the Donovan family. In this one, Kyle Donovan, who is an expert on gems, meets Lianne Blakely, the illegitimate daughter…
I like to cover all my bases as a general rule, especially with an author who is new for me. That’s why I read Elizabeth Lowell’s Amber Beach before reading Jade Island. I wanted to get a feel for the Donovan clan, how they felt about each other and the world around them. In general,…
The Marriage has one of my favorite plots – the marriage of convenience. I also liked the main characters, Ryan Lassiter and Maggie Drummond. There were some interesting secondary characters too, but just when I thought the book was getting interesting – it was over. Ryan Lassiter is carrying a lot of emotional baggage. His…
An artist recovering from a bad relationship meets a mysterious hero with a past. Throw in an Idaho winter, an isolated cabin with a sauna, and you have a volatile yet fun mix. Oh, yeah – don’t forget the voodoo doll and the handcuffs. Claire Maxfield’s 30th birthday begins quietly enough. She celebrates by drinking…
All right folks. If you are tired of category novels about cowboys and babies, go out now and buy a copy of this book – no, buy two copies of this book. Maybe if it sells really, really well, the publishers will take a hint and put out more books like this one. Imagine –…
