If you are looking for a good medieval read, I’d suggest passing this one by. While the hero and heroine are heroic, the plot filled with twists, turns, and danger, the love scenes long and filled with imagery, I remained utterly disengaged throughout the entire read. How is this possible, you ask? Frankly, I’m not…
Heart of the Dragon is Sharon Schulze’s debut novel, and this book maintains my reading record of Harlequin Historicals – I’ve never graded an HH less than a C. I’ve not awarded many DIK’s to books from the HH line, but quite a few B’s and some C’s. This is important only because I can’t…
I enjoyed this book a great deal more than I enjoyed this author’s previous release, Just One Kiss. This time around, Samantha James has written a more subtle romance. Instead of offering up an alpha hero who didn’t show the heroine any reason why she ought to love him, she offers up an alpha hero…
Innocence Undone is precisely the type of romance I enjoy reading when I’ve read several bad books in a row. Not just because it’s a good read, although it certainly is. But because it features a traditional premise, albeit with some unique twists. And a nice, traditional story-line is always welcome; it brings me back…
Well, A Love for All Seasons is definitely different. More historical fiction than romantic fiction, it focuses on the lives of those outside the realm of the knight, and follows the lives of the two protagonists from childhood through adulthood. Denise Domning has a penchant for writing differently than other romance authors. So, it is…
Love Me Not features one of the best endings I’ve read in a romance. Does the rest of the book live up to it? Yes, and no. Mostly yes, but there’s a bit of no as well. This is the tortured and tortuous love story between Damien, Duke of Westbrook, and Lady Kathleen. Sworn to…
Elizabeth Mayne’s teaching background shines through in her use of historical accuracy in this tale of 16th Century Ireland. The sights, scents, sounds, and mysticism surrounding the green isle are all used here to good effect, but the author goes a bit overboard. This other-worldly quality tends to overwhelm the love story between Hugh O’Neill…
If you’re looking for a great Johanna Lindsey to read, look no farther. . .than your keeper shelf and re-read one of her older releases. Because Say You Love Me is not a keeper and will not be joining those other treasured Lindsey’s in your collection. Say You Love Me is the fifth in the…
Midsummer Moon is an intriguing read. Not a book to pick up and leaf through at odd moments, it requires some effort on the part of the reader to grasp what the author offers in the way of characterization, theme, and complexity of plot. <!– var browName = navigator.appName; var SiteID = 1; var ZoneID…
The Deception is told in the first person narrative, from the heroine’s point of view. Because many of us read romance for the heroes, this is a problem. For we get to see the hero and learn about him through the eyes of his heroine and younger brother, but never get to really know him…
