Heather Graham has another winner in this, the latest chapter in the saga of the McKenzies, a Florida family whose loyalties are torn and tested during the Civil War. It came very close to being a Desert Isle Keeper for me; only the ending really spoiled it. Dr. Julian McKenzie leads his patrol of Confederate…
Heather Graham is a new-to-me author that I’ve heard much about but have never gotten around to reading. Glory is the sequel to Surrender, which I have not read. If I had, perhaps I would’ve had a better understanding of the events that took place in Glory, but, unfortunately, I was lost through most of…
Kentucky Dream is one of the inexpensive Precious Gem Romances, available only at Wal-Mart. In a sense, the old adage, you get what you pay for, applies here. It has an interesting setting, but it’s a short book – about 250 pages. The last half of the book isn’t bad, but the first half is…
At first, I rolled my eyes. Simon de Burgh seems to be cut straight from the mold of grunting alpha male. First impressions can be deceiving though, can they not? Simon may have started out as a grunting alpha male in Robber Bride, but it didn’t last long, and his change in attitude is gradual…
Before you all tar and feather me, please hear me out. I know this is a Julie Garwood Scots romance (her best sub-genre, in my mind) and we have all been waiting for this book for a long time (what was that For the Roses series about, anyway?). She can do no wrong in our…
This book was okay – The heroine was okay, the hero was okay, the secondary characters were okay, the story was okay. Did it touch this reviewer’s soul? No. Amelia Ralston has been in love with her neighbor, Crispin Merrick, for most of her life. Their families have been neighbors since they were children. As…
Are you familiar with the children’s book Sarah, Plain and Tall by Patricia MacLachlan? In it, Sarah answers an ad to become the wife of a widower and mother to his two children. She asks for a trial period and will make her decision whether or not to marry him after that time. It is…
When I first finished reading this book, I decided I’d give it no lower a grade than C. But reflection leads me to concede that this book worked hard for the D I’m finally awarding it. Grayson St. Cyre, Baron Cliffe, is invaded by his two dotty aunts and their “valet” Jack, who turns out…
Only With You is not really a story about two people who fall in love. Rather, it’s a story about a heroine who thinks she’s in love with her best friend’s fiance‚ until the second to last chapter, and a hero who finally tells the heroine he loves her on the last line of the…
I had completely given up on Catherine Coulter’s recent books, but I couldn’t resist a book bringing back my favorite Coulter family, the Sherbrookes. I really should have known better. Screechy women, rapid-fire dialogue and a very thin plot made this difficult to get through. Winifrede Levering Bascombe (Freddie) begins her story tied to a…
