I chose this book because I’ve read one other by Liz Fielding and it made me cry. There is a quality to her writing that pleases me – she lets dialogue stand for itself without cluttering it with speech tags and the sentences roll off each other in the best tradition of understated British prose;…
Next Comes Love is a surprising complex story about a woman on the run who finds a safe haven on a small Wisconsin island. It sounds like a common enough plot-line, but the characters have an unusual depth to them – especially for a series romance. The love story takes a bit of a back…
Secrets intrigue me; when the conflict in a relationship arises from someone keeping major secrets, as long as there’s a plausible reason, I can go along for the ride. And I’m a sucker for a good secret-unveiling scene. For those reasons, I found myself picking up The Ranger’s Secret. Chase Jarvis’ secret is a doozy….
Well, I can’t tell you this Harlequin Presents is a hidden gem. However, I can say it’s probably better than most, and possibly worth the $4.75, but it is definitely and unquestionably ridiculous. <a href="http://www.likesbooks.com/banmanpro/a.aspx?ZoneID=4&Task=Click&Mode=HTML&SiteID=1&PageID=33387 ” target=”_blank”> <img src="http://www.likesbooks.com/banmanpro/a.aspx?ZoneID=4&Task=Get&Mode=HTML&SiteID=1&PageID=33387 ” width=”150″ height=”200″ border=”0″ alt=””> Princess Kalila of Zaraq has been contracted since childhood to marry…
Some criticize the traditional Cinderella fairytale because Cinderella is not the strongest role model out there since she’s usually a sweet, cheerful martyr to her evil stepmother and stepsisters. All she really has to do is be a good girl, fit into some dainty slippers, and a prince will be hers. Invitation to the Boss’s…
I love unique settings and the fictional island of Mirabelle is brought to life so successfully that it almost seemed like an additional character in First Come Twins. More importantly, the book features a likeable and realistic tortured hero and a troubled heroine. It is the best category romance I’ve read this year. Fifteen years…
With a large part of the action set in India, A Trip with the Tycoon seemed like a perfect fit for this travel fan. Unfortunately, while I enjoyed the descriptions of various sites, I never warmed to the hero and found the romance lacking. Tamara Rayne’s famous chef husband died over a year earlier. Everyone…
I’ve heard good things about Kimani Romance, but Pamela Yaye’s Games of the Heart was the second book by them that I’ve reviewed — and the second D. I know the publisher has a number of good writers and good books; I just haven’t managed to find them yet because this book certainly wasn’t a…
Hot Under Pressure is the latest from Kathleen O’Reilly and, boy, does it deliver. It’s sexy, engaging, and just a whole lot of fun to read. Boutique owner Ashley Larsen hates flying, but when she’s seated next to a really hot guy — financial guru David McLean — on a flight to Los Angeles, her…
Make Me Yours by Betina Krahn is a perfect example for how a short, even slight, romance can just work. In the introduction, the author says that writing it “was the most fun I’d had at the keyboard in years”, and you can sense that in every page you read. The book is my second…
