Maybe it has something to do with being late to the party, but Only You, Francis Ray’s final installment in her Grayson family series, just didn’t do it for me. Sierra Grayson is young, intelligent, beautiful, and successful as a real estate broker. She is also the youngest and only unmarried child of the wealthy…
I have long been a fan of Beverly Jenkins, but I have to say that Deadly Sexy, while at times entertaining, is not one of her best books. <!– var browName = navigator.appName; var SiteID = 1; var ZoneID = 4; var browDateTime = (new Date()).getTime(); if (browName=='Netscape') { document.write('‘); document.write(”); } if (browName!=’Netscape’) {…
What is it about emotionally distant men that make my inner heroine stand up and take notice? Inner masochism? Love of a challenge? Bone-deep belief in the power of love? Whatever it is, it was on high alert through Nalini Singh’s third installment in her Changeling/Psy/Human world – Caressed by Ice. Ice follows the story…
I’m always delighted to find romance written by men, as I feel that there is a slightly different perception of how the relationship develops, or at least I like to read them to see if I can detect a difference. One such romance is Wayne Jordan’s One Gentle Knight, the first installment of the Knight…
The Object of Love is a May-December, interracial romance with a ghost as one of the secondary characters. I would call that unique. While I’ve read a number of May-December romances, interracial romances, and ghost romances, this is the first time I’ve seen all these elements in one book. We meet Lacey Burnham at the…
While this book says it’s a Dirk & Steele romance, Soul Song is only very loosely connected with the other books in this series, so if you are looking for more of a tie in with past characters, you won’t find it here. Still, as more of a stand alone novel, this had fun characters…
If you’re looking for something different in historical romance, Jade Lee’s Tempted Tigress is certainly that. Set during the Boxer movement at the very end of the Qing Dynasty, the story features the romance between a white drug runner and the Emperor’s Enforcer. It is a gritty story that does not gloss over the turbulent,…
Cathy Yardley is one Blaze author I make a point to read. Even when her books don’t entirely work for me (as was the case with her last release, Jack & Jilted), they’re still a cut above the norm, mostly because they feature a strong story at their core. Her Blazes feel like stories with…
The hero and heroine of Unfinished Business couldn’t be more different: black and white, bleeding-heart liberal and ultra-conservative, urban and rural, peace activist and war hero. I admit that some personal politics made me wary of the book, as I didn’t see myself liking the hero. Erica Johnson teaches school in Washington, D.C. She’s sick…
I generally find myself rolling my eyes when I read a girl-in-pants historical novel. They seem to be packed with clichés and full of overdrawn characters. So when I flipped through Wild Sweet Love and noticed how often the heroine gallivanted about in a pair of leather pants, I worried. My fears were unfounded, as…
