Reviews by Rebecca Ekmark
I haven't read too many historical romances that take place in Australia. At first, I thought September Moon was going to be just like those American Historicals that take place on the frontier - lots of hardship, wildness and danger. It is. And yet, it is different. Ms. Proctor brings all the stran ...
Don't you just love it when you come across a book that is not to be put down? A book that keeps you up into the wee hours of the night. A book that is written so well, you don't regret the lack of sleep. Stolen Hearts is just such a book. Intrigue, humor, passion, suspense - this book has so much t ...
To be perfectly frank, I was very disappointed with this book. After Tex is written by Sherryl Woods, and I have enjoyed her writing in the past (just last year I gave her Amazing Gracie a grade of B+). The plot is this new book is interesting, a few of the characters endearing, it touches on an imp ...
Paranormal romances have had quite a resurgence lately. I personally think paranormal activities and romance make a great combination. Then again, there are books that make me wonder if I could be mistaken. The notorious Red Robin, Robin Rowe, was a phenomenally successful madam during the 1800 ...
Before you even ask, yes, I am a big fan of Star Trek. Although I really enjoy Star Trek, I don't automatically love all things Trek, so when I say this book is good, you can trust my opinion as a finicky reader. This book is good. Vulcan's Heart begins with a Vulcan wedding betr ...
Don't you absolutely despise romances with heroines who are models? River of Dreams has just such a heroine, but thank goodness Ms. Lykins manages to swoop her out of the present and into the past, where she is not a model. Fortunately as well, River of Dreams is a well crafted, interesting read.

A hero who is older and jaded - who does not believe in love. A heroine who is a fresh out of the schoolroom innocent, who is about to get a painful lesson in life. Does this sound like anything we have heard before? Jane's father has gambled away everything - their family home, her and her sist ...
Tori Carrington is actually a pseudonym for two authors. I am wondering if they split the book in half - one starting and one finishing, because each half of License to Thrill reads like a different novel. In the first half, the reader learns that Melanie Weber is an ex-Secret Se ...
The Willful Wife is Suzanne Simms fourth in her Desire series Hazard's Inc. It is not a book to be taken seriously - it is a book that qualifies as pure, delightful escapism. No tortured hero, no scarred heroine. Just two people that are caught in a rapid and humorous love at first sight event, and ...
Infertility is a pretty tough subject to write about in a romance. Always Annie is a book that handles the subject both well and not so well. I want to warn you ahead of time that there are going to be a few spoilers in this review - needful, just to explain the rating. Annie has been divorc ...
