Freefall is the first book in JoAnn Ross’s High Risk series, which features former military men as its heroes. I enjoy suspense and this book, while not exceptional, was enjoyable enough that I plan to follow the series. Swann Island is home to Swansea, a South Carolina plantation house which has been the home of…
Sandra Hill’s time traveling Vikings are back for another trip. Rough and Ready has a lot of farcial episodes and plenty of ultra-hot sex, but it lacks the touch of poignancy that made the early books in this series something special. Torolf Magnusson, son of Magnus, the Very Virile Viking, time traveled from 11th century…
The Protector is Gennita Low’s third book, and the first I’ve read. My colleagues didn’t respond too well to her previous releases, so I wasn’t really sure what to expect. As it turned out, this was a decent read, but it’s one that didn’t entirely work for me. After a weeklong mission in a Southeast…
Well, it’s obvious that I’ve been missing out on some good fun by not managing to get around to reading Sandra Hill’s Viking/Time Travel series until now. Simultaneously silly, goofy, sexy, and smart, Wet and Wild is one of the funniest and most charming books I’ve read this year. Ragnor Magnusson has had enough with…
Dangerous Illusions has just about everything a good romantic suspense novel should: complex characters, plenty of passion, a lot of emotion, taut action sequences, manipulation, betrayals, sustained tension and a strong heroine. Unfortunately, the execution often gets in the way of the story. It’s a compelling enough read that I do recommend, although that recommendation…
OK, what’s the Number 1 Female Fantasy? Forget sex for now. Let’s concentrate on the more imaginative stuff. In my opinion, it’s got to be one of two things: it’s either Healing the Tortured Soul or Taming the Rake. Both are delicious fantasies, and I’d say they regularly tangle with each other for the top…
Ordinarily, action-packed books (or movies for that matter) just aren’t my thing. Shoot-em-ups, hijackings, SEALS and the like seldom sustain my attention for any length of time. My husband will never understand my desire to read a romantic comedy while he has the latest action/adventure/suspense flick blaring. So why did I choose to review Suzanne…
Our mystery Pandora for February is the much anticipated The Defiant Hero by Suzanne Brockmann. When Meg Moore’s daughter and grandmother are kidnapped by terrorists, Meg is forced to kidnap a terrorist from a rival group. Navy SEAL John Nilsson is called in to help. He and Meg have met before, when she was married…
If, like me, you’ve got a weakness for a man in uniform, Suzanne Brockmann’s latest single-title release The Defiant Hero should hit the mark for you. It’s chock-full of all the things she does so well: intricately woven multiple plotlines, ripping dialogue, intrigue, adventure, and three (count ’em, three!) love stories, past, present, and (I…
Life, as he knows it, is over for soon-to-be-former Navy Lt. Alan “Frisco” Francisco. His leg is shot, and with it, his life as a U.S. Navy SEAL, which is his entire identity. He doesn’t want to teach, as has been suggested to him, he is pushing so hard in his therapy sessions that he’s…
