Love on My Mind is a unique contemporary romance where the hero has Asperger Syndrome and the heroine is a cross between Olivia Pope and CJ Cregg. Adam Bennett is a tech world wunderkind, but puts the future of his company at risk because of his complete aversion to public relations. In a bit of subterfuge,…
A combination of friends-to-lovers and lovers reunited, Fight to Forgive is the third book in the Letting Go series. While the different books do not seem to overlap in terms of characters, the stories revolve around a theme, like letting go of the past. I originally picked it up because I haven’t seen too many…
I have to state upfront, that I’m a Sherry Thomas fangirl of immense proportions. I’ve loved each and every one of her books (including her recent YA titles) and take delight in her skillful storytelling, her wonderful prose, the complexity of her characterisations, the angst and ultimately, the superb way her romances unfold and the…
Even if I do not always come away from a Carla Kelly book thinking it is one of the best books I have ever read, I always come away satisfied with a good story. I also have to watch myself in grading because I have read so many books by Ms. Kelly that I expect…
Trade Me by Courtney Milan is the first thing I’ve read by Ms. Milan that didn’t work for me. I am an unabashed fan girl of her historical romances and was sure I’d love her foray into modern times. I didn’t. To be fair, this is a New Adult romance and I like those even…
When one reads a lot and in a specific genre, after a while, there is seems to be a sameness about books that makes one almost indistinguishable from another. So when I picked up Sherry Thomas’ My Beautiful Enemy, I immediately knew this book was out of the ordinary. Think Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon meets…
After you read romance books for a while, some of the books run together, so I suspect all of us look for uniqueness, whether in the plot or characters. This book easily fit that qualification with its Chinese-American heroine. However, when you can’t relate to the characters or their actions, then even that distinction can’t…
Starcrossed lovers show up often enough in romance, but rarely with such convincing emotion as in The Sleeping Night. Barbara Samuel’s tale of an interracial couple in postwar Texas takes readers through a rollercoaster of emotion as we see her characters dealing with love, loss, and poisonous bigotry. I felt absolutely wrung out after reading…
Impulsive is an enjoyable contemporary romance set on the island of Oahu, Hawaii. It’s a nice twist on the good girl/bad boy storyline, with a reforming bad girl heroine falling for an uptight hero. Eric Kimura is a button-downed deputy prosecutor with political aspirations to be the island’s next prosecutor, an elected position. Katie Long…
To be honest, I had my doubts about this story. I didn’t really know if Harlequin could pull off a historical novel set in a foreign nation. (I don’t think of Regency England as a foreign nation. Guess it has become such familiar territory I consider it home.) But I was intrigued enough by the…
