Rosalyn Alsobrook and Victoria Barrett joined forces a couple of years ago to write a series of romances centered at The Seascape Inn – a bed and breakfast in Maine. According to my records, The Perfect Stranger is second in the series; six have been written so far. These sweet romances occur when strangers meet…
I have loved many books by Linda Howard – this is not one of them. I grew up in Alabama, where Shades of Twilight is set, and I’ve been fighting the very sort of stereotypes it depicts my whole life. I’ve been reading romance since I was a teen, and while I’ve read scenes of…
After having read and thoroughly enjoyed The MacGregor Brides last summer, I glommed the first five books of the series with help from author Nora Roberts and her publisher. For those of you who recall, I arranged for Silhouette to send me copies of all the MacGregor books so that I could interview her about…
Life is interesting, is it not? Many people make the same mistakes in relationships over and over again, never realizing they are sabotaging themselves until something happens to make them aware of what they are doing. Annie’s Wild Ride is a book that has this sort of realism. It is about two people who are…
Annie’s Wild Ride is probably one of the better books I have read in a long time. The ending was a bit of a let down but, overall, I’d have to say the ride (or should I say the read) was worth it. Anne (gee, I like that name and how it’s spelled) and Paul…
Too Hot to Handle just hurts so good. Know what I mean? The hero is very nearly a total S.O.B.; the heroine subjected to torture nearly beyond belief. The love scenes are filled with incredibly purple prose. The incendiary heat between Tory Wells and Ethan Reever begins, nearly impossibly, the moment they meet. And yet,…
Maggie Anderson is one of those women who’s never on the winning end. I feel that I know her, I feel that a lot of time she’s me. In her youth, she was blessed with poor skin, a figure that’s round and has always needed to lose 20 pounds. Really, nothing has hanged for her….
I think I’ve just overdosed. I’ve hit my limit. And it was Granite Man who did it. What limit? My tolerance quota for over-the-top, arrogant, know-it-all, harder than hard, tougher than tough, mean-spirited, hurtful alpha heroes. By the middle of this book, I knew exactly what was coming, exactly how our hero would behave, and…
To enjoy Swept Away, you are going to have to suspend disbelief, big time. Okay, romance is fantasy, so you can probably do that. But the heroes of these stories are so far out of reach, powerful, rich beyond imagining, it’s a stretch to believe that, at their cores, they are each just looking for…
One thing you can say about Suzanne Brockmann’s Tall, Dark and Dangerous mini-series – they are not chick books. There’s not a lot of description of clothing and accessories – unless you count the men’s uniforms, and there’s lots of action. Everyday, Average Jones is the kind of book you would get if you mixed…
