There is something to be said for life in the American South. Eccentric old women, a laid-back lifestyle, gossiping without remorse or embarrassment, lemonade, flowers, old houses – I could go on and on. Sherryl Woods brings all of this to life in Amazing Gracie. Gracie is used to excellence in her work. She resigns…
This book tiptoes quietly into your brain until you are so involved in the story it becomes impossible to separate fiction from reality. An unconventional yet compelling story, it is romance where you would never expect to find it and it is, quite simply, wonderful. Cleveland Black Horse, or “Cleve” as he is informally known,…
I am about to commit sacrilege and, believe you me, it isn’t something I take lightly. Before committing the actual deed itself, I called my local used bookstore to see what, if anything, they had been hearing about this book. I wanted someone – anyone – to corroborate my opinion before I took the frightening…
Duncan’s Bride is a typical Linda Howard book, in that it features as its hero Reese Duncan – a big, tough, alpha-double-plus male who is strong, stubborn, handsome as sin, and oversexed to the max. Did I like him? Yeah, I guess so. Did I want to drop kick his butt all over his ranch?…
Suzanne Brockmann is a versatile category romance writer. Most readers know her by her Tall, Dark and Dangerous miniseries featuring the most macho group of Navy SEALS you will ever meet, the guys from Alpha Squad.

A Desert Island Keeper is a book I want to read over and over, and Tallchief by Dinah McCall certainly fits the bill. In general, “American Indian” books aren’t my cuppa, but once in a while I make an exception; Tallchief is an exceptional book. Morgan Tallchief lost the only woman he ever loved. At…
This book didn’t seem like a romance at all. It resembled a group of separate, mostly unromantic, stories loosely connected by some of the worst characters and dialogue ever to grace the romantic fiction genre. Kate McClure and Hank Sinclair meet when Hank accuses Kate and her mother of moving into a house that he…
I have to say it – a few pages in to this book, and I became obsessed with it. If I put it down, I was edgy until I could pick it up again. When I had to go to bed, I dreamed about it. When I had to go to work, I seriously considered…
Most of the books I read these days are ones needing to be reviewed. Sea Swept had already been reviewed, so I didn’t have to make notes, be analytical or justify my opinions. I was taking a busman’s holiday, a little like a food critic, who after spending meal after meal at tony gourmet restaurants,…
