I knew Christina Dodd was a well-known author, but there seemed to be plenty of reviews for her romances on AAR already, so I decided to read one of her suspense novels instead. Man, did I pick a doozy. There are a few aspects of Wrong Alibi that I enjoyed, but the plot is so…
As always, Jackie Ashenden manages to write rich, heartbreaking, angst-laden and sensual romances but, zounds, did the heroine she gives us here rub me the wrong way! All Roads Lead to You’s realistic view on mourning definitely touches the heart, but it’s not a perfect reading experience. Wide-eyed jewelry designer Bethany Grant is a walking…
Having enjoyed Bold Fortune, the first book in M.M. Crane’s Alaska-set Fortunes of Lost Lake series, I was looking forward to reading more about the Fortune family and Bowie’s story Reckless Fortune does not disappoint! Combining a pioneering reality show, a mail-order ‘bride’, and adventure in the Alaskan wilderness with witty banter and a sexy…
Knocked Up in Alaska by Samanthe Beck is the third and final book in her Captivity Alaska series. I enjoyed the first two but I think this one is my favourite. Lilah Iquat is pregnant. Young and pregnant with a dead man’s baby. When pilot Shay Shanahan died in a plane crash, Lilah had just told…
I’m a sucker for hero-in-pursuit stories and I’ve been a fan of Samanthe Beck since she wrote for the Entangled Brazen line (which were some of the first steamier romances I read back in the mid 2010s). I read and enjoyed the first in the Captivity Alaska series so I’d been waiting for another book…
I’m a fan of author Megan Crane whether she writes under this pen name or as Caitlin Crews. While the recent Crane books I’ve read have been Western style romances, I saw that she has a new series The Fortunes of Lost Lake (with a slight variation on a pen name as the author of…
Mistletoe in Juneau has its warm and sweet spots. Unfortunately, the book addresses its amputee hero with somewhat abelist language and indulges in major instalove, which made it impossible for me to give it a recommendation. The romance itself is sweet without leaning into the syrupy side of things, but readers won’t lose out if…
Given the number of disappointing romantic suspense reads I’ve experienced lately, it’s no understatement to say that I’ve been very eagerly awaiting the next book from Rachel Grant, someone I know I can rely on to deliver a fast-paced and tightly-plotted story of mystery and suspense alongside a well-developed steamy romance. Dangerous Ground is a…
Sometimes I feel a bit like a damaged romance heroine when I open a book by a new-to-me author. You know the trope – she’s been hurt by love before, and is wary of trying again. But eventually the hero hits the right notes with her, so she cautiously starts to trust and eventually love…
An Alaskan Christmas has an interesting premise and a lot of fun with its gripping action scenes. Its romance is pretty decent too. But the book contains some distractingly weak research when it comes to medical procedures. Workaholic surgeon Dr. Erika Sheraton is an intense woman working in a high-pressure position. It’s not surprising that…
