Moon in the Water is an uncommonly lush and lovely historical romance. Most of the story takes place aboard a steamer on the Mississippi River, a very nice setting for the gentle love story that unfolds there. Owning a riverboat seemed like an impossible dream for a steersman like Chase Hardesty. Then James Rossiter, owner…
Laura Gardeyne is a wealthy young widow with a beloved three-year-old boy, Harry. She is also a terrified mother struggling to maintain a semblance of normal behavior. She suspects that her late husband’s brother, the Reverend Jack Gardeyne, is planning to kill her son for his inheritance. She has no proof and no friends to…
“A gentleman caller” evokes a myriad of subtle undertones and hidden meanings, but mainly it brings to mind one of the old rites of passage for a well-bred Southern lady. Not only that, it brings to mind all sorts of pleasant connotations of the good ol’ South; magnolia trees, antebellum mansions, delicate ladies who are…
Have you ever read a novel in which the author creates the past world so vividly that you feel transported you to another time and place? On the other side of the coin, in some historical novels the author keeps her feet so firmly planted in the modern world that it’s impossible to be moved….
With My Seduction, Connie Brockway kicks off her Rose Hunters trilogy, a series that promises great adventure, beautiful romance, and characters more interesting than many seen recently.

The Wedding Game is the third in a series revolving around the Duncan sisters and readers will enjoy catching up with the three women and their current excursions. Just as with the previous two books, Feather writes a detailed story with an inviting plot and with charming women, yet with romance still a bit lacking…
Gaelen Foley’s debut is an old-school romance heavy on the fairy-tale aspect as it comes complete with a handsome prince, a fair maid whose esteem he must win, and a devastated kingdom requiring his noble touch to return it to its former glory. But if The Pirate Prince is a fairy tale, it’s a dark…
In Camelot’s Shadow is not a relaxing read. I was sitting on the edge of my seat for most of this book wondering how the lead characters could possibly prevail over the evil they had to overcome. I also have a confession: I really don’t know the “true” telling of Camelot. The last Camelot story…
The Bride Hunt is the second in the Duncan sisters trilogy and the stronger title of the two. Part of that success comes from the pacing. Because Ms. Feather introduced the Duncan sisters so thoroughly in The Bachelor List, she was able to give a little more time to Prudence’s romance this time around. That…
Your feelings about the latest installment in Elizabeth Boyle’s Brazen series, Brazen Temptress, will doubtless depend on your ability to tolerate the “Big Misunderstanding” plot. If you don’t have much patience with a hero and heroine who can’t trust each other, then this book will make you grit your teeth. If you can get past…
