I don’t believe in “the one” – as in your one and only true love and soulmate. Sure, I’ll buy the fated mates argument in a paranormal or science fiction story but in a contemporary novel I find it is often used to explain angst of the annoying variety. Most times the hero or heroine…
This is the third book in Ms. Brownley’s Undercover Ladies series and like the other two it turns the Wild West into a fun, funny and romantic place to be. Of course, there’s plenty of danger and hard work as well as serious subjects such as homicide. However, the writing and main events of the…
Westerns, romance and humor seem to go hand in hand. From 1938’s The Cowboy and the Lady to 2014’s A Million Ways to Die in the West, movies and books love to blend a look at the Wild West with a pretty lady, a clueless cowboy and a lot of laughs. With This Ring? is…
The adventures of the classic Spaghetti Western combine with a very mild message of faith and a sweet romance to tell us the story of a rancher and his marriage-of-convenience bride. Tessa Spencer thought she had finally settled down and settled in when she spots a member of the Fulton Gang in town. Knowing she…

Let me preface this review with the announcement that Told You So was my first real experience reading an inspirational romance. I picked it up because I’d heard Kristen Heitzmann had earned good reviews at AAR in the past and figured there probably wouldn’t be a better time to make my first foray into the…
In five years and close to 400 books reviewed this will be my second F. This book is supposedly an international best seller so maybe the fault is mine but I found it a complete mess and an excruciatingly difficult read. World War II may be drawing to a close but Jakób and the rest…
I had a real grading conundrum with Lady Maybe. On the one hand Ms. Klassen is an experienced wordsmith with smooth prose whose twisting, turning plot kept me eagerly engaged in the tale. On the other hand some of the twists and turns came across as more than a little melodramatic. I kept thinking, “Only…
Not only was An Heiress at Heart Jennifer Delamere’s debut novel, but it’s a 2013 RITA nominee for Best Inspirational Romance.
