The Trouble with Valentine’s Day takes the reader back to Gibson’s fictional town of Gospel, Idaho for a second visit. This is a pretty typical Rachel Gibson story with its ex-athlete uber-alpha hero and attractively insecure heroine in the midst of a life change. I was glad to read it – I’m a sucker for…
Kayla Perrin’s latest, Gimme An O, is a fun read with believable characters and a witty dialogue that keeps the pages turning. The book hit one of my romance novel hot buttons, though, limiting my enjoyment somewhat. Lecia Calhoun, a.k.a Dr. Love, worked for years as a medical doctor and then a sex therapist. Now…
Bethany Campbell is a three-time RITA winner – twice for her traditional Harlequin Romances, once for single-title romantic suspense – but it’s her books for Harlequin’s Intrigue line that are some of my favorites. I love all four of them for different reasons: Pros and Cons for its clever plot and the banter between its…
Ever since I read Rachel Gibson’s Simply Irresistible, I’ve had a weakness for hockey player heroes. So when I found out Tori Carrington’s new Blaze, Fire and Ice, had one, I signed right up to review it. Tommy “Wild Man” Brodie is a hockey player, but he doesn’t see much ice action in the book….
Kasey Michaels’ Be My Baby Tonight was a fun surprise. I have read and enjoyed her traditional Regency Romances, but had never read one of her contemporary releases. So I requested to review this book without knowing much about it. I soon realized two things: the hero is a baseball player and the sport is…
Kristine Grayson’s last book, Thoroughly Kissed, was thoroughly charming and one of my favorite reads last year. Naturally I jumped at the chance to review Completely Smitten. While it doesn’t live up to the previous book, there are some cute moments that elevate this book into a more-entertaining-than-average read. Due to a feud with Cupid,…
A bad cover and a terrible title can often conceal a wonderful romance. In the case of Fire Beneath The Ice a good title and a beautiful cover conceal a very clumsy book. The premise is intriguing and one we don’t often see in a romance – the first few months after a marriage. But…
When it comes to Susan Elizabeth Phillips, I absolutely love It Had to be You and Lady Be Good but I have had less luck with Nobody’s Baby But Mine and Dream a Little Dream. Still, like many of her fans, I have been looking forward to catching up with Molly Somerville and Kevin Tucker…
A famous, wealthy, fabulously attractive, professional football star driving down the road in his Aston Martin sees a sweaty woman marching down the side of the road in a beaver costume and decides to give her a ride. Attractive scenario – huh? It hardly inspired me to continue but this is, after all, Susan Elizabeth…
Picture Perfect has a serious issue at the center of its plot: the sickle cell anemia disease that afflicts far too many African Americans. The central question at the center of this book is, should a young woman in love push aside a chance at happiness because of the disease? Photographer Cassidy Adams leaves Mobile,…
