In A Heart Full of Miracles, Stephanie Mittman returns to the late 1800s Midwest. This is a setting that really plays to her strengths, and indeed this book is much better than her last two, which both departed from her usual style. While it takes a while for this book to really come together, it's ...
Sandra Hill's 1998 release The Last Viking was one of the funniest books I have read in a long time. Truly, Madly Viking is just as funny and, unlike that earlier title, which featured a rather annoying heroine, this one has loveable characters all around. I really enjoyed it.
It is 99 ...
For somebody who doesn't normally pick up time-travel romances on her own, I've sure read my share of them since joining AAR. Like any other group of books, it's been a mixed bag, but I have to say that I had very few problems with Linda O. Johnston's latest, set in London just before the Great Fire ...
Daddy By Choice is a baby book. The hero is a former cowboy. The cover is really, really ugly (is that man sewing)? So naturally, I passed it up. No I didn't. Daddy By Choice is by Paula Detmer Riggs and anyone who can do as she did with Her Secret, His Child, which was to take the old, hackneyed se ...

I didn’t think You Again could possibly live up to the blurbs adorning its covers. “I loved it!” says the quote from Karen Robards. “. . . impossible to put down until the final, wonderfully satisfying page is turned,” said Kay Hooper. “Heh,” I thought. But what do you know? Robards et ...
Dr. Caleb Chaney was such a nice guy that it was quite a pleasure to read how he transformed the frightened and wounded Ellie Parrish into the warmly loving woman she deserved to be. Caleb was not the sort of romance hero who is nice to everyone but the heroine, nor was he the sort to wallow in his ...
Midnight Sun is a book of squandered possibilities. The Alaskan turn of the century setting isn't made vivid, a mostly interesting cast of characters fails to engage the reader, and a plot-line full of promise falls flat. There's an enervating lack of excitement in this romance between an idealistic ...

Wow! In the conclusion of Nora Roberts' Chesapeake Bay trilogy, Nora very nearly hits one out of the park. Those of us wondering how the parentage of Seth Quinn would be resolved will be totally taken by surprise. Those of us who have come to love Seth, Cam, Anna, Ethan, Grace, and Phillip will deli ...
I've enjoyed the first two books in Nora Roberts Chesapeake Bay trilogy, and Inner Harbor makes a nice ending to it. All the secrets concerning Seth's parentage are revealed and we get to see more of his trashy mother, Gloria, and the swath of destruction she leaves in her path.

There are really three lead characters in Jennifer Crusie's Anyone But You - Alex, the 30-year-old doctor with a penchant for Daffy Duck shorts, Nina, the 40-year-old divorcee who left her first husband because she no longer wanted to be a "Country Club Wife," and Fred, the sad-eyed, bad-breathed, O ...
