This book wins the award for the longest I have ever attempted to avoid having to read a review book. For roughly half a year I have been trying to put off forcing myself to finish reading To Marry a Scottish Laird. There was just nothing about it that called out to me to read…
There are some books that you finish and you just have to wait for a moment to let things sink in, or even just to decide whether or not you liked it. With a very predictable plot stemming from a very unpredictable circumstance for our heroine, I had to wait a few days to gather…
I’ve said numerous times that I don’t have too many dealbreakers as a reader because a good author can make me like just about anything. And Sweet Bea is a book that proves that true. Somehow Sarah Hegger takes a lying jerk hero, a curl-tossing and feisty heroine, and a handful of ridiculous romance plotting…
I’ve said elsewhere that novels set in the Medieval Highlands aren’t really my cup of tea, given the fact that they all seem to utilise the same plot: Hero and heroine from opposing clans are thrown together and swear eternal hatred while trying not to screw each other stupid at every opportunity. For some reason,…
I am the first to admit that medieval Highlander romances aren’t my normal cup of tea. Like books with the word “pirate” in the title, the sight of the “H” word, coupled with the de rigeur naked, brawny, headless torso with a hint of a plaid somewhere about on a book cover is usually guaranteed…
Narrated by Nicholas Boulton Having very much enjoyed For My Lady’s Heart in audio format, I’ve been eagerly looking forward to its sequel, Shadowheart, which picks up the story of Allegretto della Navona, the ruthless young assassin who was one of the major secondary characters in that novel. He’s certainly an interesting choice for the…
Although I do love reading romance novels, I would be the first to admit they often have ridiculous titles. I know quite a few people who refuse to try them based on their often outrageous covers and names. But I know better, and so when I opened How to Be a Scottish Mistress I put…
I may never reread An English Bride in Scotland, but I don’t resent or regret the time I’ve spent with it. This lighthearted, sometimes comical romp through Scotland was just fine for a lazy summer afternoon. No, it’s not going to make my DIK pile, but it certainly doesn’t belong in the trash. Annabel Withram…
In my pre-reviewer days, this book would have been a did-not-finish for me. It’s not a horrible book, but character inconsistencies nearly gave me eyestrain from excessive rolling. The Chieftain is the last in a series of books, and while it can stand alone well enough, I wonder if the history of the previous stories…
Seduction of a Highland Warrior is the final book in the three part Glen of Many Legends series. I have not read the first two books in this series, but Sue-Ellen Welfonder did a good job of filling the reader in on the important background from the previous two books. Therefore this book does well…
