Although there is nothing truly horrible about Stay With Me, there is also nothing riveting about it either. Frankly, this time travel tale is about as ordinary as a book can get and it left almost no impression whatsoever upon me. Sarah Tremont is finished with being a social worker since she can no longer…
The third book (follows Forever… and Forever and Always) in a series-within-a-series revolving around the supernaturally gifted Darci Montgomery, Always initially sets a fast pace with its rather suspenseful and multilayered plotline, only to repeatedly stall and, ultimately, become rather confusing. Jack Hallbrooke grew up with everything that money could buy, but without the parental…
Well, it’s obvious that I’ve been missing out on some good fun by not managing to get around to reading Sandra Hill’s Viking/Time Travel series until now. Simultaneously silly, goofy, sexy, and smart, Wet and Wild is one of the funniest and most charming books I’ve read this year. Ragnor Magnusson has had enough with…
As the title indicates, Tempting the Highlander is the latest installment in Janet Chapman’s series about a group of time-traveling Scotsmen and their offspring. This is the first book in the series that I’ve tried, and while it is a warm, sweet story, I suspect it will work better for readers who’ve been following these…
Romance novels with a Native American theme can be iffy. Many such historicals revolve around a Native American savage taking a beautiful white woman and having his way with her. Justifiably, these books come under some harsh criticism. Fortunately, Kate Lyon’s debut offers an excellent portrayal of Native American life and the problems that arise…
Harper Allen’s The Man That Got Away is one of the most original debut romances I’ve ever come across, and one of my favorites. A time-travel romance with an unusual setting – 1930s Hollywood – it’s brimming over with creativity, excitement, emotion and a lot of heart. Most of all, it’s just a lot of…
I’ll admit I chose Ms. Knight’s Berkley debut because of the title. How could I not? A title character named Jane who has her very own warlord? Shallow reasons aside, I’m glad I gave Jane’s Warlord a shot. Though it’s a bit of a mixed bag, I do look forward to reading this author’s next…
In A Blast to the Past, Virginia Farmer combines two popular romance novel elements – Scottish history and a military hero – with a bit of slapstick humor. The result is a light but rather forgettable romance. Chief Brian Skelley is a U.S. Navy explosives expert training some British military men in the Scottish Highlands….
My first book by Dee Davis was, regretfully, not a successful experiment. Part time travel, part Scots medieval, part mystery – this novel seems like an ambitious attempt by the author to do something a little different from the norm. Unfortunately, throwing away the character clichés would have been a less ambitious and probably more…
Time travel books can be very difficult to read and write. For one, you have to decide how the person travels back in time, how they are going to deal with their predicament, and if they are going to go back to their own time in the end. These types of books can be very…
