I’ll confess – I’m a woman who likes “guy things,” I like watching sports, I love the Three Stooges, and I’ll watch a good action movie any day of the week rather than a bad chick-flick. I hate to shop (except for books) and I’m perfectly happy without makeup. I think hair rollers were invented…
This book packs an emotional wallop unlike anything I have experienced in a long time. I started reading it at 11 o’clock at night and didn’t quit until I finished it three hours later. I was sleep-deprived, but all I can think of is how much more deprived I would be if I had never…
Take one pitiful girl who marries a man, and on their wedding night, comes out of the bathroom to find her brand new husband in the arms of her best friend. That’s how this story starts off. The heroine, Serina Mann, believes she’s hexed. Bad luck has run in her family for years, so Serina…
When holding a manuscript instead of a book, it is not difficult to imagine how much work an author puts into writing anything of any size. Even knowing that, I had only a teeny bit of guilt over the rating. Remember the 80’s folks, where romances mostly lingered on like a nasty aftertaste, due to…
It’s still early yet, but Heart’s Desire already has my vote for worst read of the year. The lead characters behave abominably toward each other, the heroine’s introduction to the hero made me laugh out loud, and the author threw in so many catastrophes, it seemed like a parody of the worst soap opera. Thirty-year-old…
Catherine Anderson has written an exciting contemporary novel in Forever After. I must warn you that it is not for the squeamish. There is violence in the book, along with strong language and descriptions of the emotional and sexual abuse of Meredith, the heroine, that were almost painful to read. On the plus side, Forever…
In all fairness to Linda Howard, this book was written in 1982. In all fairness to the reader, this book stinks. I love Linda Howard, but apparently she wrote this before she “got good.” Jessica Stanton is a 23-year-old widowed virgin (that’s right) who owns stock in Greek billionaire playboy Nikolas Constantinos’ company. She votes…
Well, let me introduce you to Sue Civil-Brown, better known as Rachel Lee. Rachel Lee is a particular favorite of mine, and has been for several months since I discovered her writing in An Officer And A Gentleman. While I still have four more books from the Conard County Series to read and I’m taking…
Having finally discovered Sharon Sala, I picked this book up out of my library earlier this week, and thought I’d give it a try. Well, I didn’t put Jackson Rule down until I had finished it. It grabbed me, first paragraph, and I was off and running. Jackson Rule has spent almost half of his…
Comet Bob appears every fifteen years over the skies of Endicott, Indiana to mess with people’s minds and – local folklore has it – grant you a wish if you were lucky enough to have been born in a year when Bob made an appearance. Kirby Connaught was a comet-year baby and when she was…
