It has always been easier for me to name my favorite actor or author rather than my favorite movie or book of all time. Nora Roberts wins my vote for all-time-favorite Romance novelist and her first installation of the Born In trilogy, Born In Fire, is a spellbinding adventure through the passion, loyalty, independence and…
From the imaginative author of Romancing the Stone, Catherine Lanigan brings us her most recent adventure through a life that offers romance, strength and revenge along with just a dash of the dark side of human nature — deceit. In Love’s Shadow is a story of three women who have surrendered large portions of their…
The other day, I got a books-on-tape in the mail, and I was pleasantly surprised. I have a leash-trained dog that I have to walk several times a day, so I thought, great, I’ll just pop this into my Walkman and listen while I’m walking the dog. That’s when I realized how much of a…
Okay, I admit it … my introduction to Ms. Krentz was less than auspicious. I read Gift of Fire and Gift of Gold, and to be honest, I wasn’t crazy about either one. Still, something brought me back to Jayne Ann and I’ve not been disappointed. First of all, I like the way her main…
In her second installment of the Quinn Brothers trilogy, Nora Roberts is Rising Tides as well as the temperature on the Chesapeake shores. I have been waiting for this book since I finished Sea Swept, the premier of the Quinn brothers and the start of a love affair I envy in Cam and Anna’s relationship….
Rising Tides is the second in Nora Roberts’ Quinn Brothers series. It’s not as good as the first in the trilogy, Sea Swept, but it’s still quite good. There’s somewhat less of the Quinn’s masculine brotherhood to savor, although the poignant and precarious situation of Seth Quinn, their adopted younger brother, remains. And while the…
I’ve read Michelle Martin’s previous two books, Stolen Hearts and Stolen Moments, and loved them. They were cute, funny, filled with endearing characters, and had enough action to move the plot along and keep me interested. The Long Shot has some of the same elements, but has more of a serious tone to it. If…
Ewww!!! That was my reaction time and again while I was reading Once In Paris, a contemporary romance by Diana Palmer. Let me make myself clear, I do not mind it when there is an age discrepancy between the hero and heroine in a romance – LaVyrle Spencer did a wonderful job handling a romance…
This isn’t a book, it’s a cassette tape. With a total running time of about 90 minutes, it’s a perfect way to get your romance in during a walk, work-out, or lengthy commute. I listened to the tape during my 40 minute drive to work (and my 50 minute drive home), and it was an…
Do you like John Grisham? Do you like mysteries? If so, I think you’d like Stella Cameron’s French Quarter. Sizzling and suspenseful, Cameron’s murder-mystery romance will keep your brain whirling, whether you’re trying to figure out “Who did it?” or calm your senses from the smoldering sensuality in the story. Cameron starts the story en…
