I’m all in favor of unusual settings for romances, so when I discovered that The Baby Bump is set on a South Carolina tea plantation I was excited. But while I liked the setting, and enjoyed parts of the book, I found the heroine hard to like, and the hero’s adoration of her hard to…
If you read Lynn’s review of Craving Her Soldier’s Touch, the first book in this series, then you already know the downside of Secrets of a Shy Socialite: Too much going on to really dig into the few parts that work. Jena Piermont, pretending to be her twin sister Jaci, slept with Jena’s high school…
Category romance authors at their very best pack a lot of emotion and characterization into a rather limited page count. Unfortunately, when they don’t bring their A game, packing lots of conflict and emotion into a small book can result in a hot mess. Sadly, that’s what happened throughout most of Craving her Soldier’s Touch….
This story was an easy read and I liked it okay. However, the author begins the book showcasing the inequality in the hero and heroine’s relationship and over the course of the book, I had my doubts about both the heroine’s and hero’s transformation. Ben Tyler has just been given demoralizing news. His…
The first couple of chapters gave me the impression that this book was going to be lively and playful in a sassy sort of way. But that quality dissipated as I got further into the book. The change in tone, a meddlesome character, and a big misunderstanding derailed a good bit of my enjoyment in…
I’ve seen numerous raves online for the Mills & Boon Modern Heat/Riva line, and when I heard about KISS at RWA last summer, I got excited because I thought this line might be something similar. If Kelly Hunter’s The One that Got Away is anything to go by, this line might be the perfect fix…
I rolled my eyes for the first few pages of A Night of No Return; a billionaire hero with an emotional scar that just won’t heal was a bit too much. But once the heroine was introduced I got into the story. In fact, I expected to give this a higher grade until close to…
After you read romance books for a while, some of the books run together, so I suspect all of us look for uniqueness, whether in the plot or characters. This book easily fit that qualification with its Chinese-American heroine. However, when you can’t relate to the characters or their actions, then even that distinction can’t…
Most of the Blaze books I’ve enjoyed have been fairly light, spicy reads. While still fun, Relentless Seduction hits a slightly darker tone and the vampire bar and vampire subculture that play important roles in the plot make this book stand out from others I’ve read. I can honestly say I’ve never read anything quite…
When I was in Junior High my parents renovated a one hundred-plus year old house in the heart of our small town. It could be inconvenient living in a home whose walls were constantly being torn down and rebuilt or whose flooring would be yanked out and replaced over the course of a grueling day’s…
