Amy Andrews writes fun, sexy contemporary romances and I’ve enjoyed several of her offerings in the past, including her Sydney Smoke Rugby series. In her latest steamy novella titled The D.I.L.F (Doctor I’d Like to… um… fornicate with), she tackles both workplace romance and sibling’s best friend tropes in a story that is more about…
In Grounded Hearts the storyline is simple – an RAF pilot bails out of his damaged bomber, sustains injuries and seeks help from a lovely woman in enemy territory. The storytelling, however, is anything but simple. Here, I found romance, adventure, spiritual wisdom, humor, pathos, and a picture of World War II I never knew,…
Calling Outlander a time travel romance is like calling a Dove Bar ice cream on a stick. Mere labels can’t possibly prepare you for the totally engrossing and sensual experience of either one. If you are ready for 850 pages packed with action, sex, life and death, then take the plunge. But then be prepared…
I’ve been a Victoria Bylin fan since first reading her historical inspirationals, and several of her books sit on my Keeper shelf. So I was pleased to have the opportunity to review one of her contemporary novels, and a pleasure it was. The Two of Us is multi-layered, written from the heart, and subtle in…
I’m a big fan of the TV show Call the Midwife, so, when These Healing Hills became available for review, I figured it would be right up my alley. It’s set in the Appalachian mountains of Kentucky right after World War II comes to an end, a time and setting I was sure I’d love,…
I’m always on the lookout for books featuring competent, true-to-life characters with disabilities. Unfortunately, these aren’t as easy to find as one might think. So, when I heard about Not A Sound, the latest novel from author Heather Gudenkauf, I was eager to get my hands on it. Ms. Gudenkauf crafts wonderfully suspenseful novels, and…
We’ve had a pretty mild winter here, but I could still use a few afternoons to curl up with a comfort read. This time around, I sought the comfort of a favorite author. I read a fair amount of category romance, but I’ve never found another author quite like Betty Neels. She wrote for Harlequin…
The Dark Affair is the third book in Ms. Claremont’s Mad Passions series, and features James Stanhope, Viscount Powers, who was an intriguing secondary character in the previous book in the series, Lady in Red. In fact, I found him so intriguing, that I was far more interested in him than in the hero, so…
I like medical romance, and Intensive Care is a lovely debut novel with real heart. Like many debut novels, this one has its moments of being a tad rough around the edges but overall it’s a satisfying read. Kate Kennedy is a heroine familiar to any of us who have read enough romance. She has…
Rosie Hopkins is in between nursing gigs when her mother calls asking for help. Age is catching up to Rosie’s great-aunt Lilian, and someone has to help Lilian move into assisted living and sell her sweet shop business. Rosie agrees to leave her temp jobs and her wishy-washy boyfriend to travel to the small Derbyshire…
