I’ve seen Merline Lovelace’s name on bestseller lists for years but never got around to reading her books. But I love contemporary romances with foreign settings and when I saw ”I Do”… Take Two! is set in Italy I jumped at the chance to review it. I found this first in the author’s Three Coins…

The main characters are all English and except for Connor, members of an elite SAS squad. Connor Reagan is a journalist and in 2003, he marched with a million others through London, decrying the…
Kai and Garrett. The soldier and the You Tube star. Two different voices written by two different authors.

Garrett fixes military vehicles and has been in the…

Library Wars: Love & War is, quite simply, about fighting against censorship and the banning of books. In this fictional near-future Japan, the Media Betterment Committee was formed about 30 years prior to protect the population from unsavory materials. Unfortunately, the MBC took things to a whole new level, where it is a common occurrence…
You know what I like about Carla Kelly’s books? They have real people. I don’t just mean that she doesn’t pull out the marquesses and dukes, although she has eschewed the nobility in the last decade. I mean her characters act and speak like actual complex human beings. They don’t just shriek and sigh and…
With First to Burn, military romance plus a foray into the paranormal proves to be a winner for the most part. Anna Richland takes her immortal warriors and blends the Beowulf legend with modern-day military conflict for a story that certainly caught my attention. Even with the dreaded sagging middle, it’s still strong enough for…
