Maybe Beauty & the Brain works because it is based on two basic elements – beauty and intelligence. Maybe it works because it brings its adult characters back to how they felt in high school, which is such a raw and intense time. Whatever the reason, Beauty & the Brain works. Rosemary March is beautiful…
I have an admitted weakness for Western romances. They can be historical or contemporary, but as long as they have a ranch, a couple hundred head of cattle, and a hero who rides the range, I am willing to give the book a chance. This book was definitely worth the chance. Set in modern-day Sweetgrass,…
My brain is full of factoids. That makes me a great Jeopardy player but it’s kind of frustrating because sometimes I can’t remember where I read a certain thing. Anyway, I read somewhere that editors of romance novels think readers don’t like books about athletes. Well editors, this reader loves them, but they are darn…
Suzanne Simmons surely had it right when she created Mitchell Storm – he’s no ordinary man. But then again, Victoria Storm is no ordinary woman. Neither is her friend, Alice Fraser, and his right hand man, the MacClumpha, a giant Scots who Torey first spies as he moons her society guests for assuming he’s a…
We expect a lot of JAK. As a talented writer, she is expected to maintain a certain standard by her devoted fans, and I suppose we tend to be a bit critical when we don’t think she is writing her best. Sharp Edges is not a book that is up to JAK’s best, at least…
Have aliens abducted Karen Robards and left a changeling in her place? Surely the person who wrote this awful mess is not the Karen Robards who wrote Walking After Midnight, One Summer, and Heartbreaker. That Karen Robards wrote books with strong heroes and heroines and a good mix of action and romance. This book has…
Suzanne Brockmann is a versatile writer. The Kissing Game is a sweet romantic comedy. Time Enough for Love is a time-travel romance and the three books in her Tall, Dark and Dangerous mini-series (Prince Joe, Forever Blue, and Frisco’s Kid) are romantic adventure stories featuring my favorite group of mucho macho Navy SEALS, the guys…
Today while surfing the ‘Net, somebody mentioned this book and how good it was and how funny it was and I thought to myself, “Gee, I picked that up the other night. Think I’ll go read it.” So, tonight I sat down, expecting to have a laugh or two because most books that people say…
Lori Foster has attempted a modern-day version of Sleeping Beauty. While the attempt was admirable, the results were merely adequate. Sebastain Sinclair is a successful security consultant who allows himself to be auctioned off to benefit a women’s shelter, even though he’s reluctant to spend any time with some “shallow blue-blood.” Brandi Sommers is only…
Lisa Ann Verge is known for her historical romances and her historical fantasy romances; Loving Wild is her first foray into the world of contemporary and series romance. When I’m looking for a good road romance, I know I can turn to Lisa and find one. Loving Wild is a nice evening’s read. Dylan MacCabe…
