One Reckless Summer is the first in a series set in Destiny, a fictional small town in Ohio. It’s a lovely combination of sexy, fun, and heartbreak, and I look forward to checking out more books by this author. Jenny Tolliver has always been a good girl. She’s never broken the rules, she’s always tried…
Have you ever reached the end of a book and asked yourself, “Why on Earth did I just read every page of that? How many moments of my life is it that I won’t have back again?” Well, in my case, I read every word of this novel because I had to for review purposes….
Charlie All Night was the first Crusie book I ever read, and while What the Lady Wants later replaced it as my favorite of her series titles, this one is still right up there. Allie McGuffey’s life revolved around her job as the producer of the prime time radio show at an Ohio station. Then…

Tell Me Lies, a 1998 release now available in paperback, defines the meaning of “having a bad day.” This is Crusie’s break-out novel, moving from series romance to hardcover, and it combines a complex plot,…
To date, A Taste of Honey is the only book I have ever bought because of its cover. In this case, you can judge the book by it. There are no rearing horses in the background, and no one’s clothes are falling off. It just shows a man and a woman standing together by a…
