We gave this a B. Our reviewer wrote:
This Time Love is worth reading, especially if you like Elizabeth Lowell. As she so frequently does, she puts the love story against an interesting backdrop of exploration. She creates plenty of tension between her protagonists without having them resort to the nasty behavior that (in my opinion) mars some of her other works. For those keeping track, we’ve not reviewed her re-writes particularly well, but aside from the padding, this one goes in the “win” column.

This thinky thriller got a B+ from our reviewer. She wrote:
The positives of the book are its numerous twists, the interesting (if often unsympathetic) characters, and the lovely prose. The language evokes a gothic atmosphere, even though we are missing the classic element of the creepy house. The idea that one of the characters is gaslighting the others – although whether it is Will, Maggie or Erin that is responsible, we simply don’t know – gives the story a chilling and very sinister atmosphere. I loved how frightening was the idea of a manipulative, murderous villain in the background, juxtaposed against the ordinary suburban lives of these three people
The author does a fantastic job of showing how average people can have dark sides we just don’t expect, and she showcases the complexity of family spectacularly well – from Will’s family, who loves too much, to Erin’s mom, who doesn’t love at all, the text captures beautifully how difficult relatives can actually be.

Amazon readers give this Diana Palmer a 4.5 rating. Here’s the blurb:
Count Eduardo Cortes is about to lose his fortune—and his beloved ranch. His money woes, and a tragic past, mean his family is pressuring him to marry for convenience instead of love. He gives in, until he encounters Bernadette Barron, wandering frightened and disheveled after a society ball…
Beneath the grime, it’s clear Bernadette is beautiful and rich. But will she bring Eduardo further heartbreak or has he finally found the one woman who can save his ranch and heal his heart? The Spanish count can provide Bernadette with the title she needs—but can he return her feelings?
Gazing into her husband’s penetrating eyes, Bernadette sees not only his calculating ways but also his quick arousal to passion. Will their growing desire be enough to overcome the mounting challenges they face…and to claim the love they both crave?

This is book one in a very popular contemporary series! Here’s the blurb:
Cade Fournette never had it easy Cottonbloom. He stuck around long enough to raise his orphaned siblings and then hightailed it out West—and never looked back. Even though he’s made a success of himself in Seattle, Cade never lost the toughness and the angry edge that helped him survive down South. His only weak spot: the girl he left behind…
Monroe Kirby came from the wealthy side of town, but that didn’t protect her from her mother’s drinking—or her mother’s boyfriend. It was Cade who did that, on a long-ago hot September night, before he disappeared…along with a piece of her heart. Now Monroe is a physical therapist who can fight for herself, and it’s Cade who could use some conditioning when he makes an unexpected return back home. Will he and Monroe pick up where they left off and finally explore their mutual passion—or will the scars and secrets of the past divide them once more?
