Seduce Me by Christmas is an average book that lured me in with the Christmas theme. It wasn’t a terrible book by any means, but it’s entirely skippable – even if you love Christmas stories. Raoul Charlebois is a renowned actor who has just retired from the stage, mostly so he can devote some time…
The seasoned Susan Johnson reader (that would be me) and readers new to the author might very well have different reactions to Sexy as Hell. To the vet, there is absolutely nothing new here – the author plows (ha!) the same ground she has in the past right down to the smallest detail. To a…
Her Colorado Man is Remington Steele meets Americana. (For any of you too young to remember it/hear about it in the first place, Remington Steele was a detective series from the 80s in which a female detective created a fictitious male detective as a front for her business. A thief shows up claiming to be…
Sometimes I just want to wring characters’ necks for being so stubborn. This was one of those books. I really liked A Christmas Scandal by Jane Goodger, but if the characters just swallowed their pride and were honest, it would have been significantly shorter. In a previous book, Maggie Pierce met Lord Edward Hollings when…
I always like reading debut novels because sometimes I discover wonderful treasures. Other times, however, I find books that required work they didn’t get before hitting shelves. Sadly, Angela Johnson’s Vow of Seduction is one of the latter. Underneath all the clunky narration, modern-day psychobabble, and info dumps, what we essentially have is the story…
On page 115, the hero asks the heroine’s opinion of his sketch. She gazes at it and says, “It is good. For a sketch….but it has no emotion.” I could not have summed it up better myself. It has been two years since Jack Vernon returned from the Battle of Badajoz, and his artistic career…
Stealing Midnight is a lush romance with a very gothic atmosphere. The hero is wounded and devastatingly handsome, the heroine is beautiful and resourceful and the villainess hides an evil disposition behind the face of an angel. Like all of Tracy Macnish’s books, this is old school romance – the kind I like very much….
I just love it when I find a new author to glom, and that’s exactly what’s happened with Captain’s Surrender by Alex Beecroft.Peter Kenyon has been promoted to the rank of captain, but his ship awaits him in Bermuda, so he must take a temporary position as a lieutenant on The Nimrod, which is sailing…
There are a number of books that I would recommend to romance readers that I would not give to newbies to the genre. Whenever I introduce a friend to romance, my selection of their first book is done specifically with that person in mind, with that first book tailored to their interests and personality. However,…
As a final addition to her lengthy legacy, the author couldn’t have done much better than this. Everyone acknowledges that Pippa Carstairs is beautiful. But, living a cloistered existence with her grandparents in Bath, no one has ever bothered to look beneath the surface – including herself. So when Noel Nicholson begins to pay her…
