Sharla Lovelace’s series about the small town of Charmed, Texas continues along prettily with Once A Charmer, a fine story about lifelong friends who become much more. Allie Greene and Sebastian “Bash” Anderson have been best friends since they were very young and – aside from a drunken kiss they shared when they were in…
I’m pretty fussy when it comes to contemporary romance; for some reason, a lot of what’s out there just doesn’t appeal to me. So, I was super thrilled when I stumbled upon Katee Robert’s series featuring the dark and sexy O’Malley family and their struggle to rule the Boston underworld. The first three books were…
Okay, y’all. This book is a lot of things. It’s got insta-love/insta-lust, it’s got a fake-relationship, it’s got a famous actor falling for a ‘normal person’. Throw in a stalker subplot, an agoraphobic sister, and it’s a lot to pack into 200 pages. That being said, it’s generally successful and a lot of fun and…
Lorelei James is a familiar voice to many in the erotic and contemporary romance world, having published more than sixty books in the last ten years. While I’d heard of her, I hadn’t actually read any of her books until this one. All You Need is a sports romance with a fairly typical plot idea…
Under the Surface is an apt title for this suspenseful, dramatic, and sexy romance seething with emotional undercurrents. It’s part of the Alpha Ops series, though the first full length novel. The previous three were novellas featuring Navy SEALs, and the third one, The SEAL’s Second Chance introduced the character of Eve, a young woman…
I read a number of good contemporary romances in 2015, but never expected to discover one so late in the year, and by a debut author at that! But with this witty, contemporary romance set in the London theatre scene, Ms. Parker is a welcome addition to the contemporary romance. Lainie Graham, the sweetheart of…
The plot of In the Arms of the Heiress can be summed up fairly succinctly, thus: Young heiress engages complete stranger to act as faux husband for one month to help deceive her overprotective and disapproving family. Romance and hi-jinx ensue. Put like that, the book might not sound like all that promising, but I…
I find that books are like expensive boxed chocolates—they all look delicious, but there’s really no telling what’s inside each. Some look normal but have hidden inside a strange neon green substance that doesn’t taste all that good. Others hide a caramel or truffle filling that’s just delicious. Faking It was a book of the…
I find the mentality behind cults intriguing, so when I heard that White Heat, Brenda Novak’s latest series opener, was set against the infiltration of a cult, I knew that I would want to read it. The story has a dark intensity that keeps readers turning pages, and I’ll definitely be picking up the rest…
So there are two Big Deals in this book. Item One: An age difference of 24 years. Item Two: Since the heroine is 29 years old, to some that might make the hero, the titular Admiral, 53, unsexy. Well. Let me tell you this, honey. If men my age were like Admiral Jake, I sure…
