I have always meant to pick up a Kat Martin book, but life moves in mysterious ways and somehow I never did – which is why I am now so glad that I got to review Silk and Steel, a sequel to Nothing but Velvet. If you prefer the kind of book where you can’t…
All of us know someone who by rights should not be our friend. You know who I mean – the high-school classmate with the outrageous behavior, the co-worker whose logic (or lack of it!) drives you crazy, the girlfriend who exhibits too-stupid-to-live qualities. And yet these people have a certain charisma, a charm to them,…
Cat and the Countess starts out on a winning note but soon becomes yet another victim of the “too much plot/way too little romance” school of writing. The first scene is really an attention grabber: “As a rule, Niankwe “Wildcat” MacInnes never posed much objection to a woman putting her hand down his pants. In…
This was a pleasant enough read until page 175. Sure, the heroine had some problems, but what happened after page 175 was enough to throw me completely out of the book and say to myself, “the author isn’t really going to go there, is she?” Lord William Claridge, who is brother to a duke, has…
All Smiles is the first novel I’ve ever read by hugely popular author Stella Cameron. I was looking forward to it, but my hopes were almost immediately crushed. I have a lot to say about this book, so I’ll try to keep my plot summary short. When Meg Smiles’s minister father died, she was left…
Jack of Hearts is romance with a social conscience, and an entertaining read to boot. The heroine is the daughter of a mill-owner while the hero is an impoverished viscount who needs to marry for money. At first glance, they don’t sound like a very romantic couple, but Farrell makes their love story a sweet…
My Wild Irish Rose suffers from an idiot plot. An idiot plot is one that is kept in motion solely because all the characters in it act like idiots. If the characters in this book ever asked a question, or talked to each other or acted instead of assuming, all would soon be cleared up…
I will agree that how to address those who hold titles of British nobility may be confusing, but there are plenty of reference sources. So there is simply no excuse for the many errors that are found in Temptress. The hero, Lucien St. Cyr, Earl of Berwyn is referred to as St. Cyr through most…
A Glimpse Of Heaven is mostly enjoyable. Its main characters are well developed, and the premise is definitely out of the ordinary. Some of its scenes are breathtakingly haunting, and, although marred by a rushed opening and a conclusion that is somewhat unsatisfactory, this book is worth reading. The prologue of A Glimpse Of Heaven…
Geralyn Dawson’s latest offering, Simmer All Night, is a wonderful concoction of Texas swagger and English sensibilities, with much of her trademark humor to warm up a chilly winter day. The book opens when Cole Morgan finds out that one Christina Elizabeth Delaney has just been crowned Queen of the Chili Queens of San Antonio….
