I had little hope for Gemma Bruce’s The Man for Me. An early heavy petting scene led me to believe that the book would be all about sex, with little plot or character development. Happily, I was wrong. This is a wonderful romance between a compelling hero and heroine and between the heroine and baseball….
When I open a book and smile at the first sentence, it’s a sign of good things to come. When I close the book – still smiling – I know I’ve found a keeper. Power Play is funny, sweet and utterly delightful. Years ago, Monica Geary came to New York determined to be an actress….
There is certainly no shortage of athlete heroes in Romancelandia. Hot Property is the fourth in Carly Phillips’ Hot Zone series, which centers around an athletic management company. You guessed it, the hero of this, like the others in the series, is an athlete – a baseball player, to be specific. However, our hero in…
As a life-long sports fan, I enjoy romances featuring sports stars as heroes. While, I haven’t read the rest of the books in the Boys of Summer series, I enjoyed Kate Angell’s Strike Zone as a stand-alone read. Taylor Hannah is leading an extreme skiing expedition when she learns that Bret Stryker is engaged. Three…
I love baseball and haven’t read a Harlequin American Romance in years, so when I saw Man of the Year on the list of books to be reviewed, I asked for it. Lisa Ruff’s debut novel turned out to be a pleasant read indeed. The Seattle Rainiers baseball team is not popular at all. Scandals…
The Right Mr. Wrong is the second book Cindi Myer set in Crested Butte, Colorado (following Marriage on Her Mind). It’s a quick, light read, and though the main characters have a fair amount of baggage from their past, the book is not filled with angst or deep emotions. While I enjoyed the heroine, though,…
Since reading Delicious, the first in this series, I have been anticipating Reid’s story and was delighted when I was given the opportunity to review this third installment in the Buchanan series. Not only does this book feature the bad boy of the Buchanans, it also offers the reader a different perspective on the past…
What you start out with here is definitely not what you ultimately get. With opening scenes decidedly on the wacky side, Natural Born Charmer soon evolves into the story of a group of wounded people coming to terms with themselves and the mess they’ve made (with the help of others) of their lives. And, yes,…
Mrs. Big promises a juicy tale – a woman who schemes to marry rich only to ponder about reforming her ways – but it badly disappoints. The heroine’s reformation is unconvincing, and I couldn’t care about her after she expresses no remorse for committing a stupid, selfish act. Loletta is a young, attractive black woman…
Bette Ford’s latest contemporary, An Everlasting Love, is an emotional read about a heroine with one huge obstacle to overcome and a hero who is patient enough to wait. Brynne Armstrong had almost everything she wanted. She was on track to getting the degree she promised her deceased parents she would earn, and was dating…
