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…
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…
When it comes to authors Missing In Action, I really miss Jan Freed. She wrote some of the best Harlequin Superromance titles ever including this Pygmalion inspired little gem – My Fair Gentleman. It’s one of my all-time favorite comfort reads and one of the books I simply must have on the desert island. If…
Everything about Lucky Gets Her Life Back is so gosh-darned Family Friendly, I really wish I’d had a clue about what to expect before I started the book. It’s a tribute to Stef Ann Holm’s skill as a writer that I wound up largely enjoying a book I wouldn’t have touched if I’d known what…
This baseball-themed romance, set in Florida just after the World Series, is a sweet story of a couple who have always come together as rebound sex partners, but now they each realize that they want more from their relationship. The bulk of the story comes from each of them trying to decide how to confess…
I have read Karen Templeton before and enjoyed her, so I was glad to have the opportunity to review her newest, Playing for Keeps. At the very least, I knew the book would be readable and chock full of down-to-earth characters. Templeton has a knack for making the mundane details of the everyday come to…
I’ve been reading quite a few old 80s series romances lately, and enjoying the diversity in characters and subject matter that you don’t really see anymore. Many of them either don’t hold up over time or weren’t very good to begin with, but every once in a while I come across a good one. A…
Joan Wolf is a major comfort read for me. I’ve read more of her books than just about any other romance author. And while all of her books have not been A’s for me, I have yet to encounter one that was terrible and several times she has approached near perfection. Beloved Stranger, a short…
