Note: This book was originally titled Atrophy and is referred to as such throughout this review. I admit that I hadn’t realised, going in, that Atrophy is part of a series in which there is an overarching story that runs through all the books (there are three so far). Still, it’s a thumping good read and…
Imagine is the story of a wide variety of characters, all bottlenecked onto an island thanks to a shipwreck just before the turn of the 19th century. First of all there’s our hero and heroine – Margaret “Smitty” Smith, a hard-working attorney who was hoping to take a refreshing cruise in the South Seas, and…
Sam Hamilton – mechanic, underground fighter and ex-con – is a manly-man. A LONELY manly man, but a manly man none the less. His best friends are getting married, and both Cyn and Foley are so wrapped up in their wedding plans that Sam feels like an odd man out in their once closely-knit relationship. …
I cut my teeth on historicals and romantic suspense, so I always enjoy an excuse to dive back into either of these subgenres. I’d read all but one of the books in Jill Sorenson’s Aftershock series and inexplicably the one I’d neglected was the one that intrigued me most. Badlands reunites Owen Jackson and Penny…
I’m not a motorcycle club romance kind of girl. I tend to like my books heavy on the courtship, with scenes that really show the relationship building. Most MC club books are about the sexy and tend to have heroes who throw around the words “bitch” and “whore” way too much for my taste. Which…
I urge you to snatch this book up, because I don’t think there’s a more realistic love story between an ex-con and a jaded young woman who believes only in casual hook-ups and zero attachments. Jordan Kane went through what no teenager should ever endure. At sixteen, he killed his golden-boy older brother, Michael, in…
I have a friend who loves the work of author Jay Crownover. I’ve read several synopses and wasn’t terribly impressed, but I decided to try Better When He’s Bad, the first in Ms. Crownover’s new series. Shane Baxter loves being bad. It’s all he knows, and he doesn’t see any reason to change it. Sure,…
Lately I’ve craved stories that are different. I periodically feel the need to leave my comfort zone. Thus I decided to read this romance between a prison employee and an inmate. I am so glad I did as I found an engaging story that was difficult to put down. Inmate number 802267 catches the eye…
Anthony Brandt said “Other things may change us, but we start and end with family.” It’s true that family can have the most profound effect on our lives. In this novel, family is a tie that binds, in both good ways and bad. Penny Sandoval has a complicated family life. On the one hand, her…
I don’t particularly like revenge stories or heroes who are escaped convicts, but it’s amazing how little all that matters when you are reading a good book. And Sweet Revenge is a good book. When Jack Dalton finds out that the man who killed his sister is in town, he engineers his escape from prison…
