While I don’t read many time travel romances as a rule, I was intrigued by the Native American setting of Misty Evans’ Soul Survivor. I discovered that I can enjoy a time travel story if the plotting is handled with sensitivity, as it is here, even if the novel was a bit uneven in other…
I have very few authors on my auto-buy list. Susanna Kearsley – who writes haunting, lyrical works which combine romance and history – is one of them. In her latest novel she mixes time-travel and history to tell us a tale of love and murder. It’s a compelling story and one I am thrilled to…
Stepping into one of Lynn Kurland’s time travel novels is definitely one magic moment in itself. This book is part of the on-going Macleod/de Piaget series that began in 1996 with Stardust of Yesterday. I’m happy to report Kurland hasn’t lost her touch. Cambridge Medieval scholar and American Tessa Alexander is still reeling from two…
The latest offering in the Daughters of the Glen series by Melissa Mayhue is a fun time travel with a touch of Fae magic. While it does not necessarily break any new ground, I still found it to be an enjoyable romp through medieval Scotland. The future of Scotland hangs in the balance and Colin…
There’s something elementally vulnerable yet virile about a warrior in a kilt. He’s basically letting it all hang out there and fighting to the death with heavy, sharp weapons. At the least, he brings out the mother in many women; at the most, the lover in them. Mackay plays on this theme of vulnerability mixed…
It’s not often that authors try the old bait and switch in their books, but when they do, I get livid. First of all, I absolutely hate it when the blurb and the genre tell me one thing, but the book itself is not what is promised. It’s like finding Jane Eyre promoted as science…
Books, like relationships, can have deal breakers. Everything else might be fine, but one thing in particular just puts the brakes on. For Aching for Always, that deal breaker came in the first chapter when the heroine exchanged sex for money. Joss O’Malley may have been engaged to that man, Rogan Reynolds, and it may…
Lord of the Isles gets some points for trying – primarily because it tries nearly everything. The plot is all over the place, with time travel, feuding clans, vicious other woman, witch accusations, wounded people, crazy priests….and I’m sure I’m leaving some stuff out. (Fairies! I forgot fairies.) While the obvious downside is that the…
Often at Speaking of Audiobooks, we complied short reviews and commentary on popular audiobooks as early on, Lea only wrote what she referred to as “mini reviews” although there was much to say about the audio. Kiss of the Highlander is one such book. All content is written by Lea. Favorite Romance Audiobooks Poll Winner:…
Narrated by Natalie Ross Only recently released in audio format, this 1997 time travel romance gets an A on both narration and content. Hero Niall is classic Howard style at its best while Grace is the smart woman on the run. Narrator Natalie Ross performs multiple male voices with clear distinction and it was a…
