The Maverick Preacher, first in a new series by Victoria Bylin, is an often touching historical inspirational romance set in Denver in 1875. I can’t say that there’s anything new in it, but it is sweet, heart warming, and features a hero who is good down to his boots. Joshua Blue was one of the…
It’s been a while since I enjoyed a series romance as much as I enjoyed Nancy Warren’s Under the Influence. I think I read this entire book wearing a smile. It’s a fun, sexy, and refreshingly modern version of the classic tale of opposites attracting. And the cocktail recipes at the start of each chapter…
I have been deeply fascinated with China and Chinese history ever since reading Wild Swans many years ago, and I was delighted to discover that Harlequin Blaze were publishing a historical romance set in imperial China. I found The Concubine by Jade Lee a very pleasant and unusual read. In 1851, the young Emperor must…
When I signed up to review Able-bodied, I thought it was going to feature an injured soldier and a physical therapist. I was right about the soldier, but the physical therapist turned out to be a woman who can literally heal with her touch. (Think faith-healer without the religious overtones.) I’ll admit that my knee-jerk…
Categorizing this book was a bit difficult for me. It’s part of a category romance line from Steeple Hill, and it’s the first of its kind to come across my TBR pile. Stephanie Newton’s Perfect Target is a series romance; it’s romantic suspense; and it’s also an inspirational romance. Bayley Foster is just getting back…
Full disclosure time: Mistress Under Contract is the first Harlequin Presents I have ever read and, if not reading it for review, I would never have picked up the book. The title makes me cringe, which is a real shame since I enjoyed this story of opposites falling in love, with its two likeable characters…
I know, I know. When you’re reading a book called The Italian’s Bought Bride, chances are the hero is not going to be the sweet, sensitive type. Or the Beta type. Or the twenty-first century type. However, it just had “guilty pleasure” written all over it. I thought maybe I was reading the type of…
Lone Star Surrender had the potential to be interesting, with an intriguing plot, and a hero and heroine with dark pasts. Unfortunately, the plot, and any relationship development between the hero and heroine take a back seat to sex. Constantine Vega has spent the last three years undercover, gathering information on a dangerous drug lord….
I didn’t have much hope for this book. The cloyingly sweet cover, combined with a secret baby plot and the Mafia, left me cringing. Happily, I was wrong – very, wrong. When done well, a series romance can pack a tremendous punch and Molly O’Keefe’s The Son Between Them, is a complex, emotion-packed book that…
One thing I enjoy about Harlequin Presents novels is their exotic (well, exotic to me) settings. One thing I don’t particularly like is that the heroes tend to be arrogant. There’s a fine line between sexy alpha and sexist jerk, and it’s one they often cross. Such is the case with The Boss’s Bedroom Agenda….
