Ok, I judged this book by it’s cover, and unfortunately it lived up to my expectations. The front cover is a clinch, which I can deal with, but on the back is this Wild West stampede picture that I’ve always associated with Wild Bill Hickock dime novels. It’s truly horrible. Not to mention the completely…
To Kiss a Texan is the kind of pleasant surprise I just love. I tried a book by Jodi Thomas a couple of years ago and found it to be merely average, and when I read the back of this one, it didn’t sound all that interesting either. So my expectations were fairly low. But…
This is not your typical frontier romance. It features an unfamiliar setting, a disfigured hero, a heroine who is emphatically not a virgin, and a sympathetic villain. In the hands of a lesser writer this combination would spell disaster, but Jill Marie Landis demonstrates once again that she is more than capable of crafting a…
Lone Star follows Crown of Glory in Evelyn Rogers’ Texas Empires series. While the setting is vibrant and the plot interesting, the book is deeply flawed by its characters. Lone Star is yet another western to suffer from a heroine who is supposed to have “gumption,” yet becomes careless from the moment she meets the…
Not all F books are created equal. Many start out with a decent plot or semi-interesting characters, only to become bogged down with stupid plot twists or an incoherent writing style. Not so with Cassie Edwards’ latest book, Silver Wing, which starts out terribly, ends terribly, and is terrible on every single page in between….
There’s a thin line between fiesty and foolish, and Ellie Chase straddles the fence between the two in Evelyn Roger’s newest romance, Crown of Glory. One minute she’s a capable woman, the next she’s an idiot. It’s the only facet of her personality that remains the same throughout the entire book. Ellie was left to…
Morgan Wakefield was taught by her embittered mother to trust no man. After her father’s death, a father she has never known, his will is read. She will inherit only if she marries a man and lives in the New Mexico territory for one year. Her greedy uncle, who will get everything if Morgan does…
Don’t you just hate plot problems? They kill an otherwise enjoyable book. Everytime I thought I was going to be able to enjoy Kit Garland’s Sweeter Than Sin, I’d be hit by a problem in the plot or with the characters that I just couldn’t get past. Kate was taken in by the Remington family…
Reading this book left me feeling the way I do after having a meal at McDonald’s – there was nothing remarkable about it, but it did the job. While there’s nothing special about them, hamburgers at the Golden Arches are uniformly easy to swallow, and that was my reaction to The Renegades: Cole. Aurora Benton…
I don’t much care for Westerns. I picked up A Stranger’s Wife on the recommendations I’d heard from others, deciding to give it a try despite the setting. I’m very glad I did, and what’s more, I can’t wait to read more of Maggie Osborne’s work. A Stranger’s Wife is the story of Lily Dale,…
