Maeve Greyson opens up her nicely written but poorly plotted new series of time travel romances with Sadie’s Highlander, the first in what promises to be a series of stories about the MacDara clan – a tribe of Scottish brothers who can trace their bloodlines back to the ancient Druids, and who are destined to…
Two years ago, I declared Larissa Brown’s Beautiful Wreck was one of the Best Books of 2014. Last year, we raved about her novella, Tress. And I was so excited to read So Wild A Dream, set in the same world as Beautiful Wreck, that when I got the chance to review it, I was…
Narrated by Mary Jane Wells Although I enjoy the occasional time travel novel, I chose to review Must Love Breeches on the strength of the narrator, who has become a favorite for narrating historical romance here at AudioGals. An American in contemporary London, Isabelle Rochon is attending a historical reenactment ball when she is whisked…
A Love Beyond Forever is rather a mixed bag. At times it made for good reading, but when the romance turned into “the awakening of a young witch,” I wondered where the entertainment had gone. Kristy Sinclair, an up-and-coming, modern, young career woman, is thrown back through time with the aid of a witch’s “scrying”…
I chose to review A Murder in Time hoping for a fresh take on one of my favorite genres. Instead, what I got was an uninspired story with clichéd plotting and tired character tropes. This is a book that does not work on any level – whether you approach it as a straightforward mystery or…
Lynn Kurland’s stories have always been a comfort read for me. Handsome, chivalrous heroes matched with independent, caring women, all with the fantasy of travelling through time to find true love. I picked up Stars in Your Eyes excited to once again delve into this world, but I quickly became disillusioned with the story and…
Earlier this year I read and fell head over heels over head over heels in readerly love with Larissa Brown’s Beautiful Wreck. (Melanie’s DIK review is here.) Ms. Brown was kind enough to send me a copy of her latest work, a luscious treat, called Tress. This novella, just 21,000 words, from its opening line–Tess…
Narrated by Nicola Barber Eva Ward, a Brit who now resides in Los Angeles, has recently lost her sister, Katrina, a well-known actress. At the request of her sister’s husband, Eva returns to England to scatter Katrina’s ashes at a location that was dear to her. They spent their summers as children near an idyllic…
Recently I pulled up to a three-way stop at the same time as another driver. Feeling generous I waved to her to go ahead of me and followed her sedately down the road. Minutes later a car that missed their stop sign plowed in to her. She was fine, the other driver was fine but…
First things first – don’t judge this book by its cover. From the official cover, I was expecting something a bit childish – definitely with Vikings, but still childish. This is the author’s first work, after all, and it’s unusual to read a first romance that fully moves the reader. Well, consider me moved. Our…
