The entire length of this book I just wanted to shake some sense into the heroine, Lydia Seaton. She’s not exactly too stupid to live, but she keeps creating mountains out of molehills so she doesn’t have to tell the hero the real reason she doesn’t want to commit to their relationship. Lydia and her…
Though her family expected her to retire into a genteel spinsterhood, Amanda Briars has instead created a new life for herself as one of the most popular novelists in bustling London. But while a content Amanda cherishes her independence, she’s still curious enough about the ways of love to buy herself an unusual thirtieth birthday…
You know an author has succeeded if you haven’t even finished the first book and you’re already hunting for others. And when you start to notice that the quoted authors on the cover are all ones you enjoy as well, you begin to wonder how the heck you could have missed the author’s books in…
Tina St. John’s latest release, White Lion’s Lady, has everything I look for in a good medieval romance: a strong hero, an intelligent and caring heroine, a really unpleasant villain, and plenty of atmosphere. It also has a few unexpected twists and turns, which complement an excellent plot. I have to admit to being in…
Rogue’s Honor is neither a bad book nor a good book – it’s just kind of there. The characters are a little lackluster, and the plot is all over the place.

The illegitimate daughter of John of Gaunt, the Duke of Lancaster, and Isolde De Beauregard, Magdalen seems destined to live her life as a pawn for either England or France.

Now that Scotland’s been done to death, it looks as if it’s time to read romances set in Ireland. A Bright Idea takes place in Victorian Dublin, and while I commend Cindy Harris for not overdoing the setting to the point of caricature, or going to the other extreme by pretending that the setting doesn’t…
Phantom Waltz is my contender for the most romantic romance I’ve read this year. After flirting from behind the counter of her father’s store, Bethany Coulter expects Ryan Kendrick to turn tail and flee the moment he realizes that she is in a wheelchair. Bethany, a former champion barrel racer, was injured in a rodeo…
You know that obnoxious female character, so common in romance (usually the spoiled younger sister or cousin) who hasn’t a thought in her feather-light brain aside from her newest dress and whichever knight (or knights) in shining armor she’s in love with this week? The kind that never thinks about anyone or anything but herself,…
