Have you ever watched a school play? The kind where inexperienced but passionate actors tromp from one set spot to another, and then stop and give exaggerated speeches, only to move on to the next spot? I never before thought that this could be done in a book, and then I read The Nightingale’s Song….
Well, I have to say that I liked Ward better than I liked Jake, but this series still lacks the spark of the Seven Brides series. I feel like I’m going to harp here but again, Ward lacks tension; it lacks some real interest to get things going, and this does not bode well for…
Jake Maxwell has just returned from the Civil War to find his family’s land stolen and his cattle scattered all over Texas. While Jake was off fighting for what he believed in, mean-spirited and greedy farmers have destroyed what he had set out to build. Now they want Jake to pay reparations for the damage…
Well, now those people who like a soft, sensitive, sweet hero – beware!! Philip Evelyn Desborough Hawksbury, Earl of Rothermere, better known as Hawk by his military friends, is about as arrogant and devilish as they come. I loved him. Especially since he met his match in this book with young, headstrong Frances Kilbracken. Watching…
Calypso Magic is a truly incredible book chock full of suspense and spice and hilarity. The characters are outrageously witty and the pacing is so fast you can’t bear to put the book down until you reach the last page – and then you’re so disappointed it’s all over. Coulter is an absolute master at…
I loved this book. Coulter has the unique ability of taking old tried and true themes and twisting them into an altogether new plot. In this book, Victoria Abermarle is running away from Baron Drago. The Baron is not a nice man, and he’s done his best to seduce Victoria. When that failed, he tried…
This was the first book by Lorraine Heath that I read, and it is a memorable one. Sweet Lullaby is one of those truly wonderful romances that you never want to see end but when it does, you’re so glad you read it. I’ve read many of Lorraine Heath’s books since then and she’s never…
I know I’m going to be in the minority, but here it is: The Last Hellion was a disappointing read for me. I cannot recommend it unconditionally, and that loud crack you just heard was the sound of my heart, breaking. The plot revolves around Lydia Grenville and Vere Mallory, the Duke of Ainswood. She’s…
If you’re looking for a good mail-order bride romance, I can recommend several. Shotgun Groom would not be one of them. Somehow the author takes a surefire premise and shoots a blank. Lily Towns has wanted to marry Matt Logan since she was a child in Tennessee. After Matt came home from the Civil War,…
Imagine yourself a young boy trapped in a wretched existence. A demon appears and offers you a hideous choice. A choice so vile that if you did what you knew was morally right, you would be left behind to surely decay and die. But, if you sold your soul and chose your own life over…
