You’ve heard the term, mixed bag? Well, that’s Enchanted By You in a nutshell. This is the third in the Dream Seekers series, and I think I should have read the other books before attempting this one. Juliette “Morning Star” Elkheart is half Cheyenne. She has come to Europe to trace her Scottish heritage at…
Deborah Simmons has quickly become a must-read author for me. If you’ve not read her yet, you’re missing something good. Her books are infused with humor, a broad range of diverse personalities, and are very sexy reads, too. I just finished The Last Rogue, and while I loved it (it’s a wonderful read), in some…
The lair of the Devil Earl, perched precariously on a sea cliff like the castle in Dark Shadows. A night filled with tempest-tossed seas and the crackles of thunder. A tall and brooding hero, accused of murder. These sound like the perfect ingredients for a gothic novel, right? Well, those elements are in place, but…
Once upon a time, young, talented Jane Higgenbothem was infatuated with Ransom Quincy, Marquess of Blackburn. So appreciative was she of his manly charms that she decided to sculpt him in the classical style – after all, who could be more perfect than Ransom? When Jane’s innocent study and infatuation is revealed to the malicious…
If you’ve ever been denied the chance to do what you love, you’ll empathize with Caroline Grayson. She’s a brilliant botanist and an accomplished mathematician. Unfortunately, she lives in Regency England, so her abilities make her an outcast. It isn’t seemly for a woman to study the sciences. Desperate to live her dreams, Caroline makes…
Tonight or Never is a problem to review. On one hand it has two of Dara Joy’s best characters, John, Viscount Sexton and Chloe Heart. Ms Joy’s male characters have all been wonderfully larger-than-life – so much so that they have almost overshadowed her female characters. Not so in Tonight or Never. Chloe Heart is…
A lot of books start well, sag in the middle, and get steadily worse. A Dangerous Man is exactly the opposite; it gets off to a slow start, gains momentum, and is pretty good by the end. The last quarter is so enjoyable that you can almost forget the tedium of the first part. Almost,…
The mood of this book is set from the first sentence of the prologue, and it is obvious that Rightfully His is no light-hearted romp. Rather, it is a melancholy book with a complicated plot, deep emotions, and lots of family secrets. I found the plot and the characters fascinating. However, the writing is extremely…
Never Again, second in the American Beauties trilogy, is an appealing love story set in the turbulent political scene of England in the late 1870’s. A strong hero and heroine, fascinating glimpses into politics of the day, a mystery to be solved, plus lyrical and witty writing, make this book an enjoyable read despite a…
The Cad begins wonderfully, as a Cinderella story with a twist. Well-born but impoverished, beautiful but disfigured Bridget is eyed by the rakish Ewen, Viscount Sinclair at a ball. Instead of having a wicked step-mother and step-sisters, Bridget has her beautiful but petty cousin Cecily, to whom she acts as unpaid companion, and her Aunt…
