It’s been a while since I’ve read a book that I disliked as much as this one. Its only redeeming quality – and this is really stretching it – is that it is rife with pathetically humorous purple prose. Diana Covington, beautiful, young, and nubile, is attacked during a party at her father’s house by…
Heather Graham is a new-to-me author that I’ve heard much about but have never gotten around to reading. Glory is the sequel to Surrender, which I have not read. If I had, perhaps I would’ve had a better understanding of the events that took place in Glory, but, unfortunately, I was lost through most of…
While reading Untamed Heart by Judy Veisel, something unexpected happened. I was only a few chapters in when I began to feel a friendship forming between myself and Caro, the heroine. I liked her. I cared about her. She was strong, resilient, capable of killing if necessary, but at the same time had flaws and…
At first, I rolled my eyes. Simon de Burgh seems to be cut straight from the mold of grunting alpha male. First impressions can be deceiving though, can they not? Simon may have started out as a grunting alpha male in Robber Bride, but it didn’t last long, and his change in attitude is gradual…
There are two reviews of this book. Let the reader beware! All the stories in Captured Hearts have been printed in earlier anthologies. So if you are a reader of anthologies, you might want to check the fine print at the beginning. That said, the stories in Captured Hearts were all new to me and…
There are two reviews of this book. I’m not really sure why this anthology was published. All of these stories have appeared in anthologies before. If you have read A Regency Valentine, Dashing and Dangerous, or Rakes and Rogues, then you have already read one or more of these stories. That being said, three of…
For a good many years, I have been unable to read or think about the story of King Arthur without some prose or action calling to mind Disney’s The Sword in the Stone, Excalibur, or Monty Python. I cannot help but respect an author who can bring fresh life to this timeless legend. Diana L….
Susan Johnson achieves emotional involvement along with hot, hot sexuality in this historical. Although we associate this author with the latter quality in all of her books, we rarely use the term emotional when describing her work. In Outlaw, Johnson successfully portrays a deep emotional involvement between the hero and heroine without sacrificing any of…
In Ireland in the 17th century, Oliver Cromwell’s army is spreading terror throughout the land. It makes no difference if you are a descendant of the Normans or are pure Irish, if you have an estate you stand a good chance of losing it to Cromwell’s profiteers. This possibility terrifies Eleanor Archebold. Eleanor is the…
If you want to hearken back to a time of knights and damsels, of chivalry and bards and tales of true love, The Princess is the book to take you there. Ms. Delacroix spins a lyrical, whimsical story worthy of a bard’s tale. It’s a wonderfully fun read and it simply made me smile. When…
