Time-travel romances often take their characters into the past or bring them to the present, but the future seldom seems to be the destination of choice. While most futuristics seem to involve aliens, space travel and other worlds, I’ve always had a soft spot for SF tales of the future right here on planet earth,…
Sandra Hill has written some enjoyably humorous Viking romances, though they are not without fault. She sometimes strains too hard for humor and upon occasion has created shrill heroines. But The Very Virile Viking suffers from none of these flaws. Funny without being silly, it features a smart, funny, and likable heroine. As for the…
I am easily bored by politics. It doesn’t seem to matter if it’s present-day Congressional wrangling or the more direct and often brutal politics of other eras – at a certain point I just begin to lose interest. This, unfortunately, is exactly what happened when I read Lady Robyn, the second book in a…
Never heard of Janet Chapman? That’s about to change, right now. If her debut novel, Charming the Highlander, is any indication, her name is going to soar quickly to the top of the discerning reader’s list of must-buy authors. Charming the Highlander is set in contemporary northwestern Maine, and tells the story of Greylen MacKeage…
Och, lass, I have more problems than praise for The Dark Highlander; in fact, I have virtually no praise at all. Whatever success this author attained in terms of decent imagery or interesting detail was lost on a hero and heroine who had me gritting my teeth in irritation by the middle of the book….
George and the Virgin was exactly what I needed to read last weekend. It was fun. It was funny. It had only the teeniest, tiniest, most negligible bit of angst – just enough for character development. It has the honor of being the only book I’ve read for review this year where I did not…
The premise of Night Games is simple and silly. Five hundred years in the future, sex has become a spectator sport. Brian Byrne is the MVP of his time. Because he is feeling overworked and burnt out he decides to take a vacation. In Brian’s century, time travel is possible, so he goes back five…
In medieval times, the citizens of Markesew picked a Virgin to sacrifice to their local dragon each year and Alizon is selected. “Saint” George is a professional wrestler, who is called across time to Alizon’s castle where he is expected to slay the dragon. Upon his arrival, George finds that the dragon is not the…
I’ve always loved Suzanne Brockmann’s books. Impressed by her Navy SEAL heroes, I went on a glomming rash of her lesser known Loveswept titles. Because it garnered positive reviews elsewhere, Time Enough for Love made it to the top of my TBR pile in no time at all. Now that I’ve read it, my verdict…
A Knight in Shining Armor by Jude Deveraux is truly the definition of a Desert Isle keeper for me. If I could only have ten books to read for the rest of my life, I would want this to be one of them. I knew this book was something special when I read it for…
