Kasey Michaels is back with the Romney Marsh series. This time it’s the loner Spencer’s turn at love. This is not only the first of the series that I have read, but my first Kasey Michaels book, period. Despite the low grade for this one, I won’t write off the author just yet. I’d like…
Carla Kelly is back at last! It’s been far too long since her last release, but this book makes up for the wait. Kelly’s tale of two tortured survivors finding love and comfort together is beautiful, touching, and often very funny. As always, she creates endearing characters and stories that go places far deeper than…
I’m definitely a little late to the party when it comes to Lucy Blue’s medieval vampire series. Starting with the third book was not the wisest decision, but once I got my bearings, I became completely engrossed – which shows Ms. Blue’s talent. Too bad she lost her contract with Pocket. * Roxanna is a…
Lydia Joyce uses intelligent characters and insightful prose to make even a take on the familiar Pygmalion story feel new again. There is nothing charming about the gutter from which the heroine is plucked, but seeing how her depth of character rescues a cynical aristocrat makes for an unexpectedly touching story. Maggie King has caught…
I’m usually a sucker for road romances. There’s just something about the journey-as-bonding-experience that really draws me into a story. While Stacey Kayne’s debut definitely shows promise, inartful moments lessened its appeal. She definitely has her strengths, but there are still some rough edges to wear down. Skylar Daines is on her own after the…
Sophie Jordan gives Too Wicked to Tame a strong opening. While the author has a smooth and enjoyable writing style, it’s unfortunately not enough to make this book a success. Lady Portia Derring is on her way to meet a wealthy earl whom her family hopes will make a suitable match for her. Portia has…
Candace Camp is known for her usually reliable, entertaining Regency and Victorian-set historicals. A Dangerous Man is no exception, providing a pleasant and engrossing read. Eleanor, a strong, independent American who likes nothing better than organizing others’ lives for them, married Sir Edmund Scarbrough, a consumptive musical genius with a domineering and manipulative mother. Eleanor…
Sweeping is a word I often use to describe the last few Brenda Joyce romances I have read. As the storyline of A Lady at Last sweeps from one country to another (with some pirate adventure thrown in along the way), the one thing that remained utmost in my mind as the plot swerved here…
Miranda Jarrett is an author I’d forgotten about. Years ago, I read a few of her books and then glommed a bunch more, but they got lost in the bottomless tbr pile. Then I came across The Adventurous Bride and thought I’d give it a go. It’s a road romance full of unusual settings (like…
Barbara Metzger jumps aboard the paranormal bandwagon, but in a subtle, very Traditional Regency way. The results are mostly fun for this Metzger fan. Sir Coryn of Ardsley, a knight of the Crusades, has, since his death, acted as Death. For centuries he eased people into death all the while longing to make amends, to…
