When I read a book like this from an author I once enjoyed, I wonder whether my tastes have changed or if the author has dramatically altered her style. Many books by Teresa Medeiros sit on my keeper shelf, but after reading One Night of Scandal, careful consideration of the above question seems a necessity….
Instead of over-the-top goings-on, To Love A Scottish Lord, with its tortured characters, false accusations, and crumbling castle, presents a thoughtful story with mature characters. The love story is tender and enormously touching. This book was like a cool oasis for me after a few too many overheated historical romances. Once a ship captain, Hamish…
For those who have been waiting so patiently, here’s the big news: The Lady Chosen is not about the Cynsters. Okay, so there’s a cameo appearance by our Devil, but with that small exception, there is nary a Cynster in sight. Ready for more noteworthy news? If you’ve given up on Laurens (as I had),…
There’s an awful lot to like here. Sparkling dialogue, a sexy hero with an appealingly self-deprecating sense of humor, and a stand-up heroine who sees the hero for the worthless wastrel that he is (or that she thinks he is, at any rate). A zippy and amusing first half, however, gives way to a second…
Do you like hot romances, just this side of burning? Do you like heroes who are impossibly alpha, handsome and studly? How about heroines who are blindingly beautiful? Do you like lots of love scenes and purple prose? Then rush out and buy The Prince of Pleasure. Fans of old-fashioned erotic romances will love it….
After several angsty reads, I was really in the mood for a pick-me-up, and Diane Farr’s Under the Wishing Star fit the bill perfectly. This is a funny, sweet, uncomplicated, and touching love story. <!– var browName = navigator.appName; var SiteID = 1; var ZoneID = 4; var browDateTime = (new Date()).getTime(); if (browName=='Netscape') {…
I love medieval romances. A great medieval romance combines interesting historical details with a compelling romance. Since I struggled with By Starlight for over two weeks, I’d say it fell far short of great. While the author did her historical homework (for the most part), her characters drove me crazy. By the time I was…
Attention, readers in search of an exciting historical with a lush love story: have I got a book for you! Marsha Canham hits one out of the park with this gender-bending tale of pirates, spies, and love on the high seas. At the helm of her ship the Iron Rose on what’s supposed to be…
The Captain of All Pleasures is certainly an interesting title. It’s the kind of title belonging on a book you’d read while snacking on bon-bons and tossing that feather boa over your shoulder, but it’s also more distinctive than some of the generic romance titles out there. My verdict: great title. So how is the…
Though I enjoy medieval romance, I’d never read Betina Krahn before. The possibility of reading a complete unknown (to me) is an exciting prospect. A whole world of possibilities awaits. Once I had the book in hand I became a little wary. The description on the back of the book suggested a too good to…
