There were so many problems with this book, it’s hard to know where to start. For a change of pace, I’ll start at the end. The title says, “Book One of the Last T’En Trilogy”. I had a different expectation of what “trilogy” meant, because in most of romance series, the following books involve characters…
I don’t read fantasies. I don’t care for them, and I would rarely choose one to read on purpose. When More Than Magic was assigned to me, I groaned. Oh no, I thought. A fantasy, terrific. Then, I read it. Oh yes, I thought. A terrific fantasy! I believe this is only Kathleen Nance’s second…
I give up and give in. More than Magic wins the game. Despite some obvious flaws, it has a charm that permeates even the most purple love scene and the sketchiest of paranormal settings. There are plenty of things that should annoy me about this read, that simply don’t. Must be magic. Perfumist Isis Montgomery…
A faery prince hero and a magic-filled plot are more than enough to perk up my ears. Disappointingly, I found myself unable to become engrossed in Kissed by Starlight. The initial setup was enchanting, but it became heavily bogged down with uninteresting, intrusive secondary characters and an excess of needless plot threads. In England in…
Uncertain Magic was first published in 1987 and is currently in its seventh printing. This was the first Laura Kinsale book I ever read so I didn’t know what to expect. I just pulled it off of Borders’ romance shelf because of its pretty cover. What a wonderful surprise to discover this author on a…
Who didn’t dream of going off to Neverland with Peter Pan as a child? I know I did! However, there were always some unanswered questions: What happened to Wendy when she grew up? What happened to the boys from Neverland? Did they ever grow up? Did Wendy and Peter ever get together again? Did Peter…
Unlike many other paranormal romances, Lady Moonlight works as both a fantasy and a romance, because the faeries are integral to the plot. Unfortunately, the main characters don’t get to interact often enough. Though there is no big separation, there are many shorter ones. Also, the stubborn behavior of the heroine nearly spoiled the story….
Cupid’s Kiss is Karen Harbaugh’s last book in the Cupid Trilogy. After having read it, I plan on grabbing the first two, Cupid’s Mistake and Cupid’s Darts, as soon as possible. Psyche Hathaway has turned down the latest in a long line of suitors, much to her mother’s amazement. She has not been able to…
Like Carla Kelly, Karen Harbaugh is pushing the bounds of the Regency sub-genre. But she’s doing it in a completely different way. While Kelly’s heroes and heroines are often common people, Harbaugh’s are about as uncommon as you can get. In Cupid’s Kiss, the final installment in Harbaugh’s Cupid trilogy, the hero is Eros –…
With a medieval setting and a paranormal twist, this book had a unique story line that held great promise. Unfortunately, that promise was completely squandered by a domineering hero and a lengthy separation between he and the heroine. As a result, any connection this reviewer felt between the two was superficial and physical – it…
