What if your life were in danger and you were suddenly given the chance to swap identities with a recently deceased woman? Would you seize the opportunity to save yourself even if it meant deceiving the dead woman’s never-seen fiance and his hunk of an older brother? And would you carry through with the charade,…
Wild is the sequel to Wonderful, which came out last year. Like Wonderful, Wild has some humorous moments and likeable characters. But while Wonderful has these moments interspersed throughout, in Wild all the humor and the interesting characters come in the last quarter of the book. The result is an uneven book that could have…
There’s just something about a hero who charges out of the dark to save women and children from the hands of vile villains. There’s something else altogether about a heroine who returns the favor by saving him! I knew right from the opening chapters of The Wild One when just such a scene took place…
I love historical novels set in the regency period and I had heard some good things about this book, but I found myself picking it up and putting it down again and again and again. It’s not that I disliked this book but I just could not get involved with it. Indiscreet begins with the…
When I read a book and find myself gasping with delight as I read it, I know I have found a gem! When I almost hyperventilated as I read Forbidden Magic, I knew it was a keeper. Meg Gillingham has been left in a fine mess by the death of her parents. She has two…

I lost my romance virginity to Catherine Coulter, and, throughout the years, even though I find her romances a hit or miss proposition, I always buy her regency-era historicals. I’m very glad I read The Deception because her writing here is crisp, clever, and mostly very well done. The book didn’t earn a higher grade…
The illusion surrounding Nigel Arundham, Lord Rivaulx, is that he mourns his mistress, that he is responsible for her death, that he is debauched, a libertine, a scoundrel. The illusion surrounding Frances Woodard is that she is the exotic mistress of Lord Donnington, that her “training” in an Indian harem has made her a wanton….
For All Eternity is an historical set in London in the year 1807. While not altogether original (those up on their fairy tales will recognize this plot) the story has charm and a touch of humor, and the characters are memorable. Incomparable Sophie Barrington, beautiful, impulsive, charming, and foolish (but then, she is only seventeen)…
