The Kelley Legacy series may not be sheer romance genius, but I will say that it works as a marketing ploy. Two C-level books in, and for some reason I feel compelled to buy them all and find out how this ends. Go figure. Special Ops Bodyguard picks up where the first book in the…
Broken record time: Harlequin Presents are my guilty little romance reading pleasures. The independent woman in me feels a twinge of guilt over my fondness for alpha men rescuing damsels in distress and whisking them away to a glamourous life, and The Man She Loves to Hate is probably the best HP I’ve read in…
Harlequin has a new line called Heartwarming, which sounds very interesting. If you have missed books by your favorite authors, or are new to Harlequin books, this works to your advantage. However, be sure to check the copyright pages, because when I started writing the review, I discovered that this book is a reprint of…
After reading that Ms. Brenna won the 2011 RITA for contemporary series romance, I knew that I wanted to read one of her books. As luck would have it, Her Sure Thing was available for review. Sean Griffin has just had the shock of his life. And old girlfriend contacted him, telling him that he…
This book grabbed my attention from the very first paragraph. Talk about a unique premise and unique heroine! Socialite Karan Kowalski Steinberg-Reece is in court after being arrested for having a blood alcohol level over the legal limit.

If there’s such a thing as a connoisseur of C books, I’m probably it. At my rough count I’ve reviewed about 230 C-range books. So I know average. The good news: Private Justice is my favorite kind of C book, the kind that’s half-good/half-bad. The bad news: I’m pretty much damning it with faint praise….
Like many readers,one of my favorite types of stories are those of friends turning to lovers. While passionate burning love scenarios are fun and fulfill many fantasies, friends to lovers’ stories are based more in reality, eliminating the burden of disbelief. Plus you know that the heroine and hero know each other well, warts and…
When two characters with a long string of baggage collide, sometimes it results in a happily ever after. Usually, however, it takes a lot of opening the baggage and sorting through the contents before two burdened people can even get close to each other. When Jesse Taylor, brother of Mirabelle Island police chief Garrett, comes…
Let me get this out of the way first thing: I’m not a fan of any kind of fighting. When I discovered the hero is a mixed martial arts (MMA) professional, I was skeptical. I’ve read and seen media stories about the controversies and violence associated with the sport. If not reading this for review…
