I’m a big fan of exotic settings, and a private Mediterranean island seemed perfect. Combine that with the fact that I gave a B to an earlier book by the author and The Darkest of Secrets seemed like a surefire winner. Unfortunately, while I find the broad outlines of the plot interesting, with an art…
When Garth Brooks runs into his old high school flame in the song Unanswered Prayers he realizes that sometimes not getting the person we want is the greatest gift God can give us. A love found when we are young and impetuous might not carry us through the hard times later in life. For others,…
Well, at the very least this book made me think, and react. Not always in a good way, mind you, but I’m not indifferent to it. That said most of it is bad news, and I’m not exaggerating when I say that on many levels, this is a troubling book. Too much analysis for a…
The summary of the book doesn’t disclose that the heroine’s new position is as the administrator of a living facility for Alzheimer’s patients. Even though I had a family member with that disease, that didn’t decrease my interest in reading this book. Jeanie London won a place on my auto buy list with The Husband…
By nature the books in this imprint are cute and sweet, and this book is no exception, but I was very much impressed with the author’s depiction of the diverse male and female responses to betrayal. Since the author is female, it is not surprising that she had such great insight into the female mindset,…
Bette Davis said that “There comes a time in every woman’s life when the only thing that helps is a glass of Champagne.” I should have taken that to heart while reading this novel. While the subject matter was lovely and romantic, the story was sadly slow and pedantic. A good glass of bubbly might…
Chocolate is absolutely delicious. So are romances that take two great characters and a nice plot line, add some real life to the mix, and come up with a tale that is both warm and rich. That is exactly what happens with this novel and like a tasty piece of chocolate confection, it was light,…
Every once in a while I find that I enjoy a book for aspects other than the romance. That is what happened with About the Baby, the latest release by Tracy Wolff. Kara Steward and Lucas Montgomery have been best friends for seventeen years. While their careers as doctors have taken then in…
There is something about the holidays that creates a desire in me to read books about children, especially young children. Maybe it is because for them, this time of year is so tremendously magical. Plus I can suspend belief a little more on fairy tale plots at Christmas, like the one in this book. Still,…
I’ll admit it. Part of what appeals to me about Harlequin Presents is the fairytale fantasy aspect of the line. I tend to pick up HP’s when I’m in the mood to be whisked away to glamorous, faraway locales or just want to indulge in a bit of daydreaming about gazillionaires. The Husband She Never…
