Some readers avoid Virginia Henley because they believe she uses too much purple prose. I’ve read all of her books and this one does not have that problem. In fact, this book has an exuberance about it, a sense of humor even, unlike any other Henley I’ve ever read. Seduced has a cross-dressing based plot…
The blurb of The Long Way Home, the newest in Jove’s Friends line, proclaims “When it comes to matters of the heart, you can always trust your friends.” Wouldn’t you say that sets up certain reader expectations? It’s unfortunate this book was included in this new marketing strategy because none of these expectations were met….
The Last Man in Town has a cute premise: the town of Maple Falls, Minnesota has been stricken by the gold bug, and Lucas Garrett is the only young man in town who hasn’t left for Colorado. Basically the book is an enjoyable one, with a hero and heroine who are good friends before they…
I’m happy to report that the latest offering from Jane Feather was just as enjoyable for me as most everything else I’ve read by her. An unusual setting, a strong hero who has some room to grow, and an endearing but not bubble-headed heroine made reading The Accidental Bride a real pleasure. Cato, Marquis of…
When gathering my thoughts to write something honestly descriptive about this read, the comparison to the pirate novels of the ’70s and early ’80s was difficult to avoid. Unfortunately, this tie-in became so strong for me that I still find it difficult to judge A Pirate of Her Own on its own merits. By comparison,…
Jane Ashford is somewhat known for her unusual characters, and the hero and heroine of her newest book, Bride to Be, are no exception. Actually, all of the secondary characters are also unusually vivid and interesting; they help make the book an entertaining read. The book has a few problems here and there, but it’s…
Deception’s Bride is a very eventful read, with young love playing out its passionate game against the backdrop of an exotic environment. Whoa, lets make a fresh start of this review. Every word in the above sentence is true, but it is still partially misleading. Sometimes words can lead us a merry chase, so lets…
A Soft Touch is a lighthearted historical with entertaining, if rather unlikely, characters and an interesting plot. However, a conflict that is predictable and includes a sort of marriage of convenience as well as the Big Misunderstanding, inconsistencies in the heroine, and stereotypical secondary characters, make this book an average read. Bear McQuaid is a…
The best description of this read is a tiny piece of dark chocolate: you have an almost physical craving for it, it is not really good for you, and a little goes a long way. Lord Galen Tarrent returns to reclaim his inheritance as the Lord of Thornbury after an eleven-year absence in the Crusades….
Can you imagine spending years plotting vengeance on the man who murdered your parents and then when you finally get your chance, something gets in your way and throws a wrench into your plans? In Tina St John’s Lord of Vengeance this happens to Gunnar Rutledge. Gunnar has spent years working towards one goal –…
