Life in England during the Middle Ages was fraught with danger. Epona (Pony) finds herself caught between two warring factions – Vikings and Saxons. Pony is drawn into King Alfred’s war to dominate the land but her involvement with the Valgar, a Viking, will put all of her beliefs to the test. Valgar the Beast…
If I’m reading a book that says “Romance” on the spine and has a clinch on the cover, but halfway through I have to skip ahead to the end just to make sure everything turns out all right, then I figure I’m reading a pretty darn good book. While Sara Bennett’s sophomore effort, The Rose…
Kinley MacGregor’s latest offering, Born In Sin, is a redemption story, and quite a good one, as it happens. If there were a little more to it, it could have made the jump to DIK without much effort, but as it stands, it’s still a truly enjoyable read. Lord Sin, with his improbable (but well-explained)…
I’m probably one of the six people in America who will admit to liking junior high. Like anything, I thought it had its ups and downs, but most of the time I thought the melodrama and angst were kind of fun. That said, it’s not something I want to relive, and when I read a…
“It was unbelievable, a play written by a madman.” So thinks a character late in this book, and I couldn’t help but agree. Although Ms. Coulter used to be an autobuy for me, The Penwyth Curse is an accurate example of why that has ceased to be so. While once upon a time you could…
The Rogue is one of the few books that I bought and then reviewed. I’d read Ms. Delacroix’s previous book Double Trouble (written under her Claire Cross pseudonym) and loved so much about it. I loved that it was told in the first person, I loved the much edgier than usual heroine, I loved that…
What She Wants zooms off the starting line at top speed, with a classic (a less kind reviewer might say clichéd) impetus driving the plot. Our hero, Hugh Dulonget, the newly minted earl of Hillcrest, is forced to marry a young woman in order to obtain his inheritance. The young woman, Willa, is so stunningly…
While I rarely read anthologies, I jumped at the chance to review Tapestry because it features two authors I’ve greatly enjoyed in the past, Madeline Hunter and Sherrilyn Kenyon, and two I’ve heard good things about, Lynn Kurland and Karen Marie Moning. The four stories in this anthology all have something to do with a…
I had serious issues with this book, beginning in chapter two and continuing until it was finally over. The hero’s justification for his nasty behavior did not endear him to me, and the heroine’s idiotic tendencies didn’t do her any favors either. Alexander DeFrouchette, (the bastard son of a man accused of being a traitor…
I had pretty high hopes as I got going with this one. Though Medieval Scotland has been done almost to death in the last few years, there was a darker, sadder tone in this one that immediately grabbed my attention and drew me in. My hopes were justified, but unfortunately, not altogether fulfilled. Ms. Garnett…
