Today’s Steals and Deals at AAR…..
This recent release by James is great fun. In our B+ review, I wrote:
It’s on sale for 1.99 here.
This one is 25 years old! We reviewed it in 1999 and gave it a DIK. We wrote:
How does Lorraine Heath keep coming up with such marvelous books? She is that rare writer – one who has never disappointed me. A Rogue in Texas just reminds me again why I love her books so much. She gives the reader great characters, an absorbing story and has a beautiful writing style that is heartfelt and full of sentiment without using a syllable of purple prose.

This is a very sexy read by Ranney. In our B+ review, we wrote:
Margaret Esterly is both widowed and impoverished the night her husband’s London house-cum-bookshop burns down. The only things left to her are three volumes of erotic literature called The Journals of Augustin X. When she discovers two years later that her husband had several potential buyers lined up before he died, she thinks she has found a road out of the grinding poverty she faces as a teacher in a small village.
The night she delivers the first volume to the buyer also happens to be the night of a costume ball and, curious soul that she is, Margaret cannot help but spy a little. She is caught, however, by Michael Hawthorne, Earl of Montraine, and the two of them share a sizzling almost-kiss. Michael, who also happens to be one of England’s best code breakers, finds his logical, orderly life disrupted by beautiful Margaret: he’s unable to concentrate on anything until he discovers who the mysterious woman is and claims the interrupted kiss. Needless to say, Michael successfully tracks Margaret down, and after some bargaining, he gets his kiss (and a whole lot more – cue this reviewer running to the kitchen for a much-needed glass of cold water at this point).
It’s on sale for 1.99 here.
We do love Rachel Grant. Many in this fabulous series are on sale right now. This one is book one and it’s free! In our review, we wrote:
If you love to immerse yourself in highly detailed and original suspense romances, then I highly recommend Concrete Evidence. Rachel Grant scores a hit with her debut novel by culling from her experience as an archeologist and crafting a first-class suspense story with an interesting amount of romantic tension.
You can get it here.
Lorraine Heath is one of the few big-name romance writers I’ve never read. I see that AAR gave it a DIK in its day but 1) does her work hold up? and 2) is A Rogue In Texas a good place to start to get a feel for this author? Also, any relation to Virginia Heath??? Thanks for any insights.
I suspect this is more old skool than many of Heath’s more recent works. I have not read this one but that’s just my guess.
If I were starting with Heath, I’d read Waking Up with the Duke or one of the Hellions of Havisham Hall series.
Thanks!
No relation VH is British.
Thanks!
