New Orleans and the Cajun country of Louisiana, are the background for Michelle Jerott’s Golden Heart Award-winning book, Absolute Trouble, and a wonderful book it is. Absolute Trouble has a wounded heroine, a bad boy hero, a drug-dealing slug of a villain, and some great supporting characters. Mix all these with a fast-paced plot and…
I have loved many books by Linda Howard – this is not one of them. I grew up in Alabama, where Shades of Twilight is set, and I’ve been fighting the very sort of stereotypes it depicts my whole life. I’ve been reading romance since I was a teen, and while I’ve read scenes of…
If there was ever a book with a lead-in that screamed take me home, it would be Undercover Angel. The heroine holding the hero at gunpoint in a contemporary? Sounds like a great way to start. Whoever wrote that blurb, great job! I would have found it difficult to sell this book so well. Trish…

This is a decent read, but a confusing one in that the set up takes far too long. Eighty pages went by before I…
Well, this is a reissue that I passed up the first time around. I’m sorry I missed it when it was first released but in 1995 I was strictly an historical reader. This book is a real winner, a keeper extraordinaire, and a book that kept me on my toes from first word to last….

Jillian Sherwood is an archaeologist. Her father was an archaeologist. Before he died, Jillian’s father was considered a…
Since the Loveswept line seems doomed, I hope another publisher snaps up Catherine Mulvany fast. She is too good to disappear. I love reading a writer’s first book and knowing that I’ve found someone whose new books I will look for. Upon a Midnight Clear is Catherine Mulvany’s debut and if she keeps on writing…
