Need a laugh? Need a pick-me-up? Have I got the book for you. Deborah Simmons newest, The Gentleman Thief has the light frothy appeal of traditional Regency Romance with the extra advantage of some very warm love scenes. It’s a kind of a 19th century screwball comedy with a ditsy-but-tenacious heroine and an appealing Remington…
An Improper Proposal is a sexy, action-packed, humorous book. This is not a book to turn to if you are looking for in-depth character analysis or tortured, soul-searching heroes; this one is just pure fun. While it’s slightly flawed at the end, overall it provides for solid entertainment. Payton Dixon has had a rather unconventional…
Annaleah Fairchilde is a spirited lass who refuses to consider the suit of Lord Barrimore, a duke’s heir. For this impertinence she is exiled from her London Season to the isolated Cornish home of eccentric Great-aunt Florence. While walking on the beach, Anna discovers the unconscious, mistreated and nearly-naked body of a strange man. Anna…
To Please a Lady, by Susan Johnson, the sequel to Outlaw, is set in Scotland in 1705, a time when considerable political gamesmanship went on between England and Scotland. Caught in the middle is the Scottish Earl, Robbie Carre, the 18-year-old brother of the hero in Outlaw, and Roxanne, the widowed Countess of Kilmarnock. Roxanne,…
The Black Knight is like a window to the past. Not to medieval times, but to the 1970s – when the prose dripped with purple, and the hero and heroine vowed to hate each other forever but hopped into bed two sentences later. Romance has long since moved past these conventions, but someone forgot to…
Pirate stories are amongst the more maligned in the field of romance novels, so when I got a chance to review this offering by Marti Phillips, I jumped at the chance, hoping to find a rare gem among the stereotypical Pirate books out there. Alas, it was not to be. Adrian Wolfe is a feared…
Maggie Osborne is one of those authors that doesn’t always get a lot of attention, even though she consistently produces high quality books. Her characters are rarely rich or flashy; in fact, her heroes and heroines are often misfits who have never even dreamed that they might find romance. Louise “Low” Downe, the heroine of…
A Springwater Christmas is a warm-hearted, rather sweet and predictable tale about acceptance, love and forgiveness that will get you in the holiday spirit. If you’ve read the previous books in the Springwater series, you’ll no doubt be thrilled with the reappearance of these fertile ladies and their numerous offspring. But if you’re like me…
I have read all of Jane Feather’s books from the ’90s and some from the ’80s. This book is her finest because she goes into her material with a depth and complexity her other books lack. While all of her books are entertaining, this one is not only entertaining, it’s thought-provoking. Tarquin is a handsome…
Since A Heart Untamed is published under the Jove Friends Romance line, it is not surprising that friendship is a major theme in this book, which was co-written by Sherri Eddington and Donna Smith under the pseudonym Adrienne Burns. Rural Kansas in the late 1800s is the setting for this tale of four friends who…
