If you like sexy books with large meddlesome families, a la Julia Quinn’s Bridgertons or Johanna Lindsey’s Malorys, The Seduction of Sara should be right up your alley. Funny and full of sexual tension, this was a romp of a book. Saraphina Lawrence is a widow whose husband died in a compromising position with another…
Would you like to read a funny, sexy story with enough atmosphere to transport you to the past, but one that deos not overdose you with period language or history lessons? If this sounds like something you’d like to read, Deborah Simmons’ latest, My Lady de Burgh might just fit the bill. My Lady de…
Desert Rain is an “Indian Romance,” but it’s quite different from a run of the mill Indian Romance. For one thing, the author is Native American, for another, he is male. The hero and heroine of the book are both Indians and the romance takes a backseat to an exploration of the lives of the…
A Love For All Time is arguably one of the last good Bertrice Small books out there. A re-release of one of the early novels in the famous Skye O’Malley series (falling chronologically between All The Sweet Tomorrows and This Heart Of Mine), it falls into the “golden era” for Small fans, just before she…
Barbara Dawson Smith’s latest release, Tempt Me Twice, offers excellent characters in a solid plot with a believable and enjoyable love story. Only a few minor details kept this from being a keeper for me, and as it is, I’ve definitely found a new author to glom. Kate Talisford threw herself at Lord Gabriel Kenyon…
Something strange and unexpected happened about two thirds of the way through this book. It started to get interesting.

But it still wasn’t enough to save the plot that had dragged out two hundred pages into…
My local bookstore owner recommended that I try Beverly Jenkins, so when I got the chance to review her latest book, Before the Dawn, I took it. And while I did the find the historical and ethnic angles in this book to be interesting, I also thought it had some problems that kept it from…
I liked the heroine of The Wedding Wager, even though she acted like an idiot 90 percent of the time. Cathy Maxwell must be a good writer. The first thing Mary Gates does in this novel is buy a stallion at auction for a thousand pounds. The only problem is that she doesn’t have a…
I was very, very impressed with the beginning of this book. It’s set in 1839, and the country in general was reeling from the Panic of 1837. I can’t recall many books set in America during this time, and I’ve never seen one that discussed this particular economic disaster, which was huge at the time…
The Outlaw and the Lady opens with Angela Bainbridge, a heroine who manages to be at the wrong place at the wrong time. She walks right into notorious bank robber Lee Raven just as he’s leaving the scene of his latest crime. He kidnaps her and takes her with him, because no one else has…
