It felt like it had been a while since I read an American Historical Romance, so after many lords, ladies and contemporary characters, I’m very glad I asked to review More Than You Wished, the second book in the Hamilton series. I enjoyed it very much, and I hope you’ll find it as satisfying a…
I’ve read only one other book by Tamara Leigh and that was Saxon Bride, which I thought was excellent. Her latest effort, Blackheart, is also excellent. Having said that, this book is not for the faint of heart or readers looking for a light and frothy medieval romp. The author poses an impossible and romantically…
For any readers who are fans of the Fantasy genre as well as Romance, Abandon should be quite a treat. The book offers an unending series of exquisite fantasy details so seamlessly woven into the story that the effect is reminiscent of Magical Realism. If the romance reached the same standard the book would be…

Twin of Ice describes Houston Chandler’s relationship to her husband Kane Taggert; Twin of Fire tells some of the same events from…
A little over a hundred years ago, there was a tremendous interest in all things Egyptian. Archaeology had advanced to such a degree that important finds were being discovered on a regular basis. Who wouldn’t find fascinating a culture that had flourished on the desert five thousand years earlier which had left behind artifacts crafted…
Very Truly Yours is a pleasant book. The setting in a small village is very well done – for me it was a pleasure to get out of London. The characters were engaging, both the primary and secondary, and if the mystery was rather transparent – well, I didn’t mind too much. Jack Fairchild is…
