To Have and to Hold is the third story in Serena Bell’s Returning Home series, a selection of emotional romances that aptly describe some of the difficulties wounded soldiers encounter when finishing their tours of duty and reuniting with their loved ones. And this particular story is based on a situation that one would hope never…
Narrated by Lesa Lockford First published in 1988, White Lies is the fourth book in Linda Howard’s much-loved Kell Sabin series. I read it in about 2010 and I thought it was a bit dated then. Suffice to say that nearly six years (and consequent technological advancement) hasn’t improved the situation. White Lies was written…
Get out your tissues for this incredibly moving and superbly poignant gay romance that explores the lost and found qualities of memory loss on two men in New York City. <!– var browName = navigator.appName; var SiteID = 1; var ZoneID = 4; var browDateTime = (new Date()).getTime(); if (browName=='Netscape') { document.write('‘); document.write(”); } if…
Dr. Seuss said, “Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened.” That statement perfectly describes how I feel towards DIK reads. They are such a pleasure to experience and so difficult to put down. Nothing quite beats that special feeling of finding a truly special book. When SAS soldier Lee Davis proposed to Juliet…
There is a certain formula for a Sherry Thomas novel that involves one part exquisitely beautiful prose, one part heartwrenching emotion, and one part crazy Old Skool tropes revisited. I am not quite sure of the ratios involved, but, for me, this formula has always resulted in a profoundly beautiful romance that I absolutely adored….
The hero of Ms. Marvelle’s latest is in the very first chapter in the book, crashed into by an omnibus on a busy New York street. When he wakes, he’s an amnesiac, unable to remember anything about himself or his life. He can remember bits and pieces from what turns out to be his favorite…
After picking up and putting down this book more than a few times, I was a little surprised to find that when I finally got into it I thoroughly enjoyed it. The Amorous Education of Celia Seaton is a quirky mish-mash of plot devices, popular lord/scandalous commoner, kidnap/rescue, deceived amnesiac, and road romance, that somehow…
Maddy Woodford is the Regency version of the woman who does too much. She cares for her orphaned half-siblings as if they were her own children, she keeps her modest house spotlessly tidy, and she helps the needy in her community. But Maddy doesn’t dream of having it all—she’s given up on finding a husband….
This book marks another in a long line of firsts for me; it was my first Christine Feehan experience and one for which I had few expectations. Though linked to other Feehan novels, it marks the first in the new Sisters of the Heart series concerning six adoptive sisters. The characters alone made for a…
When I first received Open Country, I was filled with equal amounts of anticipation and trepidation. The genre – a Western, by golly! – and the author’s sophomore status account for the former; the synopsis, the latter. Happily, I can tell you my final pronouncement is firmly wedged on the positive side. The story proceeds…
