Her Secret Fling is a well-written, promising book that only just misses the mark. It starts out with an intriguing conflict and sexual chemistry to spare – and then descends into a plot and conflict that I find particularly annoying. Poppy Birmingham is an Australian gold medal swimmer forced to retire by a shoulder injury….
We’ve all read the story of the tortured bad boy hero who uses sex and alcohol to escape the pain, and the heroine who breaches his walls of defenses to find the man underneath and heal his soul. Reverse the roles of the hero and heroine, and you’ve got She’s Got It Bad, a compelling…
You know a book is good when nearly 600 pages seem to fly by in the blink of an eye. This very accurately describes my experience with The Forgotten Garden. Beautiful and bittersweet, this family saga roams from the turn of the 20th century to the modern day as it tells an intricate story of…
Right up front Sarah Mayberry confesses that Burning Up is all about wish fulfillment. Part of it is the beautiful location, part of it is the delicious food, but mostly it’s about a gorgeous movie star playboy falling for a not-so-gorgeous girl instead of a supermodel. It’s a fun, sexy story from an author I’ve…
One thing I enjoy about Harlequin Presents novels is their exotic (well, exotic to me) settings. One thing I don’t particularly like is that the heroes tend to be arrogant.

Despite marketing efforts (the cover for the second book in this series touts the author as “the new star of paranormal romance”), I wouldn’t classify Tempting Evil as a paranormal romance. I would place it firmly in the Urban Fantasy section of your local library. That’s not to say there isn’t romance in it, but…

It’s Not You It’s Me is a road romance and a reunion story between people who used to be best friends. If any of those scenarios press your buttons, you might want to pick this one up. Charlotte “Charlie” Notting has had a rough couple of years. One day, out of the blue she gets…
I didn’t know what exactly to expect from Boy Down Under, but I’m sure it’s not what it turned out to be – a quirky, mysterious paranormal romance between the new kid in town and a boy who can whisk her away for rendezvous in places unknown. Rowena “Ro” Maven has just moved to Australia…
