The Taming of Jessi Rose opens with ten year old Griffin Sloan witnessing his mother’s slow death from tuberculosis. Griffin’s mother had run the railroad station and the railroad bosses had promised she would run the new station when the new rail line came through. However, the new line was subsequently built in another part…
A Springwater Christmas is a warm-hearted, rather sweet and predictable tale about acceptance, love and forgiveness that will get you in the holiday spirit. If you’ve read the previous books in the Springwater series, you’ll no doubt be thrilled with the reappearance of these fertile ladies and their numerous offspring. But if you’re like me…
Get out the handkerchiefs ladies, this is a good one! Joe’s Wife is a three hanky read in the best sense. It’s a marriage of convenience story between a widow from a good family and a man who is the son of the town whore. When Tye Hatcher came home from the Civil War, no…
Texas Destiny is a Beauty and the Beast story, a road romance, and quite possible the most tear-inducing book I have ever read in my life. I’ve often thought if I could get a copy into the hands of all the fans of romance novels and then buy stock in the companies that make hankies,…
I enjoy a good amnesia story – it’s interesting to see how an author serves up a fresh twist on an old cliché. Images in Scarlet uses amnesia to create a hero with a lot of vulnerability and sweetness, which is nice. Unfortunately, the the book doesn’t live up to its promise. Allison Caine encounters…
Topaz links Katherine Love and Dix Wildhorse. Katherine wears the gemstone – her mother’s legacy – around her neck. Dix wears his grandfather’s legacies in one ear and on his badge as a U.S. Marshal. They meet when he rescues her from the clutches of Rupert Samuels, swindler, thief, and all-round bad guy masquerading as…
This is probably the most disappointing book I have read in quite some time, mostly because of what it could have been, but for some reason, wasn’t. Topaz, a multicultural romance, features a wonderful, dynamic and sexy hero, a feisty, determined, independent heroine, and great chemistry. When I first started reading it, for about the…
Like many of you, I suspect, I cut my teeth on the old “Harlequin Presents” romances, where nothing more passionate took place between the hero and heroine than a few steamy kisses. Which was just as well, since if Sister Ruth had caught us with what we were reading instead of Latin textbooks, we’d’ve been…
Morgan Wakefield was taught by her embittered mother to trust no man. After her father’s death, a father she has never known, his will is read. She will inherit only if she marries a man and lives in the New Mexico territory for one year. Her greedy uncle, who will get everything if Morgan does…
I don’t much care for Westerns. I picked up A Stranger’s Wife on the recommendations I’d heard from others, deciding to give it a try despite the setting. I’m very glad I did, and what’s more, I can’t wait to read more of Maggie Osborne’s work. A Stranger’s Wife is the story of Lily Dale,…
