I have loved Robin Hood books from a variety of authors ranging from Parke Godwin to Marsha Canham, and I am so happy to see a book that sits well alongside them. While the publisher, for reasons unknown, elected to punish this month’s debut author with a stupid title and a hideous cover (you can…
As a long time romance reader, sometimes I find myself forgetting why I love this genre so much. At times titles, plots, and characters all blend together until all I can say is “love prevails in the end”. But at other times I read a book that refreshingly, uniquely, and unequivocally reminds me just why…
The Parfit Knight by Stella Riley (writing as Juliet Blyth) is an old favorite. Rereading it for this review, I was delighted to find it as charming as I did twenty years ago when it was published. In the prologue, the author describes an accident: a girl plays catch with her brother in a country…
This is the Teresa Medeiros that I love. This book has my favorite element in a romance, internal conflict, and a bond between the characters based on emotion, not a bunch of annoying external circumstances. There is no distracting subplot to remove focus from Gabriel and Samantha, the supporting cast plays an integral, yet secondary…
I began to read The Sword Maiden hoping to find a book that rose above the usual Scottish-set historical. If you’re also looking for a fresh take on this oft-used setting, I urge you to give Susan King’s latest a try. Although this is the third in the Maiden trilogy, the books seem to be…
The Turning Point is a heartwarming story of two people from completely different backgrounds who meet at just the right time, under the only circumstances that will bring them together. Lilly Crawford is trapped in an abusive marriage. Concern for her mother-in-law is the only thing keeping Lilly in Little Elm, but then Mother Crawford…
Christie Ridgway is a wonderful new discovery for me. In fact, I liked Wish You Were Here so much, I’ve glommed two of her previous novels (and I’ve already read one and liked it). Wish You Were Here is a sweet romance that can be funny, touching and frustrating all within a few pages. Yeager…
Since I like “sob stories,” this is one book that plucked at my heartstrings. I’m a sucker for tales about maltreated heroines, in which the hero spends the rest of the book groveling to make amends. Yes, there are the usual problems that are inherent in every one of the romances by Ms. Dodd that…
There aren’t too many perfect reads in this world. I feel blessed that I have had the opportunity to read This Is All I Ask, and I envy those of you who have yet to read it, because you are in for a treat. Lynn Kurland took two people – one who was horribly abused…
