If you are one of the many people who will be shocked to see this grade attached to a Connie Brockway novel, all I can say is that you are no more disappointed than I. At this book’s conclusion, I was actually depressed to see the hero and heroine together. This, in the end, explains…
Connie Brockway books are like snowflakes. No two are ever the same. Her latest is another original love story, with intriguing characters and a compelling plot, yet shrouded in dark uneasiness. Many of the characters are capable of both great good and astounding evil, and prove it throughout the course of the book. However, The…
If you’re the kind of reader who can’t stand deviation from romance formulas and rules, you might not enjoy The Lover’s Charm. I for one appreciate the twists Sandy Hingston’s given the genre; I would say she has succeeded very nicely and deserves at least a glance, if not a full-blown look. Jack Cantrell, banished…
Excited! That’s what I was when I saw Jo Beverley’s newest book, Secrets of the Night, sitting in my mail box. Never having read the author, but hearing nothing but raves about her work, I was confident I was in for an enjoyable story. Then I made the mistake of reading the back blurb and…
This is not your typical frontier romance. It features an unfamiliar setting, a disfigured hero, a heroine who is emphatically not a virgin, and a sympathetic villain. In the hands of a lesser writer this combination would spell disaster, but Jill Marie Landis demonstrates once again that she is more than capable of crafting a…
Uncertain Magic was first published in 1987 and is currently in its seventh printing. This was the first Laura Kinsale book I ever read so I didn’t know what to expect. I just pulled it off of Borders’ romance shelf because of its pretty cover. What a wonderful surprise to discover this author on a…
I can see it right now, some unsuspecting reader of Regency Romances picks up A Hired Hero, sees the sweet cover of a smiling man in his shirtsleeves cradling a woman to his chest while a horse stands in the background, and starts to read, expecting a sweet country idyll. What she is going to…
Forget that old Buck Owens song. Tiger By the Tail may be a well used title, but between the covers of this particular book you will find a read that is not only engrossing, but touching and humorous as well. Melisande Mooresby, otherwise known as the She-Devil of Mooresby Hall by the local townsfolk, finds…
Susan King’s newest release, The Heather Moon, isn’t one of those books that grabs you from the first page. It has great characters, a thoughtful conflict, and a well-researched setting – but it takes a while for all of these elements to come together and form a harmonious whole. Fortunately, it’s worth the wait. Tamsin…
I’m not a person who rereads books very often. With a TBR pile the size of Texas, who has the time? But I’ve read Amanda Quick’s Rendezvous at least four times. Each time I read it, I like it more. I’ve read all of her other books as well, and I’ve liked them all to…
