If you thought you were going to relive the romantic adventures of Robin Of The Hood and Lady Marian when you purchased The Thief’s Mistress, you’ll be surprised and maybe a little disappointed, because until the two characters finally do have sex, you’re at page 306 and still remembering Marian willingly doing it with Guy…
By Love Undone should perhaps be subtitled The Great Pretender because I was thoroughly convinced this was a major keeper throughout nearly the first half. Then the book turned from major keeper to a series of eye-rolling episodes that seemed too clichéd given the inventive first half. Yes, the lead characters I’d fallen in love…
It’s a rare occurrence when I can’t bring myself to finish a book. It’s rarer still when I actually throw one against the wall, heedless of the damage it might take. I threw The Marquess. I probably would have stomped on it had there not been other people present. The Marquess is a well-written book,…
Fire Song is a medieval story, featuring a bride switched at the altar, a wonderfully likeable and competent heroine, and a tortured hero who has to learn to love and trust. While I liked the story and loved the characters, the book is flawed by an ending I thought too rushed and melodramatic. King John…
Dangerous to Love is a book that gets off to a great start. The premise is interesting, and the characters seem exciting and different. But halfway through the book the lead characters begin to behave stereotypically. Another promising book becomes a disappointment. The hero is Ivan Thornton, Earl of Westcott. The bastard son of the…
Charming, delightful, and funny too! Deborah Simmons’s new book The Last Rogue, had me smiling, snickering, and laughing out loud all the way through it. I don’t want to give away anything, but when Raleigh tells his blushing wife why he does not wear a nightshirt – I defy anyone not to laugh! When Deverell…
I picked up this book one day, because of its cover. Yes, the enigmatic look of both man and woman, staring at something far into the horizon, told me they had a special story to tell. And they did. The only reproach I have for the author, however, is the title. Saxon Bride is not…
Lisa Kleypas has written many wonderful books that I have absolutely loved. Her two best, Then Came You and Dreaming of You, offer two of my most favorite heroes ever in Lord Alex Raiford and Derek Craven, respectively. The heroines in these stories are equally impressive, especially Lily Lawson in Then Came You. Lily is…
Stranger in My Arms starts with a wonderful premise. A not-much-beloved husband comes back from the dead, changed. His title is restored, his fortune on the mend, the only thing left is to woo his wife – a wife who does not have many fond memories of him, having married him for practical reasons and…
Now here’s a book you can’t judge by its cover, or rather, by its title. Yes, it’s about desire, more like ire and desire. . . The story starts with a beating, the one of a mother before the eyes of her daughter; the ultimate test of power of a greedy, blood thirsty 12th Century,…
