(Sigh) Gosh, I don’t know…this is one of those books that’s hard to review, because there are probably many readers who will like this book a lot, probably better than I did. Not that I didn’t like it; I did. The Drifter is very well written – beautiful imagery, vivid descriptions of the Northwest and…
The Plain People are a religious group, similar to the Amish or the Mennonites. A member of their sect, “Plain” Rachel Yoder, lives peacefully on her Montana ranch, tending to her sheep and enjoying her “straight and narrow” way of life. She is not truly happy, though, and every time she looks at her ten-year-old…
Sandra Brown is well-known for her contemporary novels, but Hidden Fires is an example of one of her attempts at a historical romance novel. The characters, plot, setting, and conflict of the novel are very typical, nothing special or out of the ordinary. Not too complicated, not too sensual, and not too surprising, Hidden Fires…
When I first began reading Romance, I didn’t know where to start. I went to my local UBS and stood amidst the isles, overwhelmed by the 7.56 bazillion titles from which to choose. With a crick in my neck from reading all those titles sideways, and bleary-eyed from all those different-yet-alike pictures of half-naked couples,…
Texas Glory begins five years after the conclusion of Texas Destiny. The events in that book are cleverly woven into the story line of Texas Glory, so it is not necessary to have read it to understand this one, but trust me, you do want to read Texas Destiny. Dallas Leigh’s dream is beginning to…
Well, no matter how hard I try to avoid it, I seem to run across somebody’s opinion on a book I’m reviewing. I try my best to ignore other reviews until I’ve had a chance to read the book myself, but I still hear a lot of comments such as, “this is an A book,”…
In the course of reading this book, I put it down several times. I kept expecting it to get better, liven up a little, but it never did – it’s just flat-out boring. And, since this is the third book in the series, if you haven’t read the preceding two stories, Jake and Ward, parts…
When you sit down to read a book, it’s sometimes hard to get into it when it’s the next in a series and the first two books really didn’t do it for you. That’s how I felt when I began to read Leigh Greenwood’s next book in his Cowboys series, Buck. It’s amazing, though, how…
Nobody’s Darling is not like any other western I’ve read in the past (which isn’t saying much). It is a delightfully funny book whose author boldly uses every western cliché known and does it well. At least in parts one and two. Part three is another story, however, and it is there that this book…
Well, I have to say that I liked Ward better than I liked Jake, but this series still lacks the spark of the Seven Brides series. I feel like I’m going to harp here but again, Ward lacks tension; it lacks some real interest to get things going, and this does not bode well for…
