One of the first romances I ever read was Rebecca Brandewyne’s Across a Starlit Sea. I remember thinking it was a little dramatic, but I liked it anyway. That was quite a few years ago, and while I’m not sure I would like it as much if I read it today, I’m sure it was…
Although I’m going to focus on Only In My Arms, this is really a sort of overview of the entire Dennehy Sisters series. Only In My Arms is the final book in the series, but it’s the story of the first-born of the five wealthy, privileged, bastard Dennehy sisters. Having read it fifth, I would…
Trey Hargreaves is off to go courting when he comes across Rachel English and a stagecoach stuck in the creek. Even though he’s already late, he stops to give the stagecoach driver a hand.

Sean, the fifth in Greenwood’s Cowboys series, takes place in the Colorado gold fields in 1876.

In Springwater Seasons: Savannah, Linda Lael Miller attempts the impossible – to stuff a book with fewer than 150 pages…

Wow! Who could have known that greased pig races, astronomy and romance could mix so well? Geralyn Dawson threw these seemingly unrelated subjects together and whipped up a story that sent me into fits of laughter. It’s not just a funny story, however. The Kissing Stars is a book about second chances, and the lessons…
