The first time I read The Bride, I was captivated by Alec and Jamie's story. I refused to put the book down and I ended up reading it in record time. Wild horses could not have dragged me away from this book. Many people I've met still list The Bride as not only their favorite Julie Garwood, but the ...
Fans of Suzann Ledbetter's Valhalla Springs series will no doubt be looking forward to her new offering, West of Bliss. While I found the premise and the characters cute, they were a little too cute at times. The story moves along fairly snappily but I was left feeling unfulfilled. When reviewer Ell ...
Perhaps anticipation got the better of me, but Moonlight and Shadow wasn't as good as I'd hoped. The book is set during an incredibly interesting period of history involving the houses of Lancaster and York - a favorite period of history for me. Though Martyn's use of historical figures greatly inha ...
Adam Hawthorne, the Earl of Blackwood, first sees Jillian Whitney during one of his early morning rides in the park. She's busily feeding the ducks and seemingly doesn't notice him, but in reality she knows someone is there. Both of them prefer the park in the early morning before it gets crowded; A ...
I tried to finish Anne Gracie's An Honorable Thief while walking up a hill on the way to work this morning but couldn't manage it. So, I did what anyone in my position would do; I sat out in front of my office building until I had finished. It couldn't be helped, you see - I simply could not bear to ...

Silly books can make you laugh, forget about a busted water heater, or just help to not take life so seriously for a few hours. You could say that the world is a better place for having silly books, but in this case, I wouldn ...
One stormy night, Commander Corrine Atkinson walks into a hotel bar and finds Mike Wright (aptly named) sitting there. She's wet, she's tired, she's irritable and due to a power outage, she's stuck. Against her better judgment, she wants this man badly. He wants her as well and when he offers to let ...
Kimberly Cates' latest offering deals with finding yourself on a path in life without knowing how you got there - but knowing that you want to get off of it. Hannah O'Connell has had a tough year; her daughter Becca has gone off to college, her marriage isn't working and she's recently had a hystere ...

I was looking forward to reading my second Luanne Rice book. Although it was a bit of a downer, I enjoyed her earlier Cloud Nine and cared about its characters. I can't say the same for Safe Harbor, a decent enough read, but one in which that connection to character was lacking. Dana Underhill h ...
Spherical Harmonic is Catherine Asaro's latest offering in the Skolian Saga. To put it in perspective, this book is the direct sequel to The Radiant Seas, itself the direct sequel to Primary Inversion. While it overlaps over books in the saga, it is a full story in its own right. While the two books ...
