Lady Alice Scarcliffe, the heroine of Mystique, is exactly the kind of woman I would want for a best friend. In fact, she reminded me of my own best friend, right down to her flame-red hair and independent spirit. And, reading Mystique was much like a conversation with my best friend – fun but not…
Too Wicked To Love takes a familiar theme, gives it a fresh slant, and presents the reader with a love story that has some nice little twists and turns along the way. And that step-back cover isn’t so hard to take, either. Sour old spinster Miss Jane Mayhew steps out her front door one morning,…
When I began reading Illusion I thought I would be treated to a meeting between East and West set against the backdrop of the Napoleonic wars. I looked forward to reading about a heroine trained in the erotic arts of India and a hero who had suffered his share of miseries. But my appreciation dissipated…
If you’re familiar with my reviews, you’ll know that I have never found the topic of adultery to be romantic and that I’ve emphasized my dislike for it as a theme several times. Having said that, it seems there is one possible exception to that rule – and I’ve found it in Lady Cat. Say…
My Sweet Folly opens with a series of charming letters from Lt. Robert Cambourne to his cousin’s wife. The correspondence begins almost by accident with Robert writing to his elderly cousin Charles Hamilton about a minor estate matter and being answered by Charles’ lonely twenty year old wife, Folie. Robert and Folie’s initial letters are…
Brothers whose relationship is clouded by resentment and misunderstandings. A young woman living in her own world. An arrangement that will change all their lives. These are the very bare bones of the story in The Wild Child, Mary Jo Putney’s dramatic tale of switched identities and last chances, and a love that breaks through…
During the first half of Into the Wild Wind, I just couldn’t get enough of the hero and heroine. Here, it seemed, were two people just falling in love; neither one was trying to overcome a horrible childhood, or a disastrous first marriage. Then the characters began to make stupid decision after stupid decision, and…
On her old paperback releases, the slogan reads, “Everyone loves a Lindsey.” Well, I used to, too, until she started churning out disappointment after disappointment. My breaking point came with last year’s holiday release, The Present, which I found utterly lackluster and uninspired. Never again, I vowed, putting her on the Forbidden-Authors Index. But then…
There were many times during the first hundred or so pages of The Last Warrior when I nearly put it down. However, since it was assigned to me to review, I persevered and was rewarded. This book could have been a keeper, but for some problems. However, since this is only Ms. Kyle’s second book,…
Please don’t let my grade deter you; I know there are readers out there who will enjoy this book. I’m just not one of them. First of all, I don’t understand why this book was called Highland Jewel when the hero constantly calls the heroine Rosebud, and never once likens her to any kind of…
