Leveling the Field is the fourth and final book in Megan Erickson’s Gamers series. I think that it is on par with the three previous books; a middle of the road read. Erickson’s style is fun and sexy, but none of the Gamers books have tugged too hard on my heartstrings. I think that’s okay…
I had really mixed feelings about the first book in the Sins in the City series, Crosstown Crush, but I am happy to report that I loved this second installment. Like its predecessor, Downtown Devil is about a woman and two men engaging in a ménage when real feelings start to intrude on the fantasy….
I feel like maybe I missed something. After reading this book and working on the review, I looked around a bit, wondering what other people thought. Most of them loved it. And although I didn’t hate it, I certainly wouldn’t say it is my new favorite. While I enjoyed the author’s writing and the characters…
A Nice Girl Like You is a rich, densely-written story about two likeable characters. It’s what I always hope for when I pick up a series book but all too rarely find. Samantha (Sam) Jagger, a freelance journalist in Toronto, meets acclaimed war photographer Ben Harris after responding to a newspaper ad placed by Ben’s…
I’m generally wary of plots that involve one of the protagonists pretending to be someone else. However, Love, Unexpectedly took this storyline, twisted it, and created an interesting, complex, romantic, and sexy story that I had a hard time putting down. Nav Bharani has been in love with his neighbor Kat Fallon ever since he…
Betty Lake couldn’t be more excited for her future – a girl with little money and no formal training, she never thought she’d travel much beyond her own front door. But the war gave women a chance to do things they had never done before, and she is getting to travel with the USO to…
What would you do if tucked inside the invitation to your ten-year high school reunion was a letter you’d written as an 18-year old, describing your hopes and dreams for the future – dreams you’re nowhere close to fulfilling? That’s the premise of Pamela Ford’s Her Best Bet. While not without problems, I found it…
I love unique settings and the fictional island of Mirabelle is brought to life so successfully that it almost seemed like an additional character in First Come Twins. More importantly, the book features a likeable and realistic tortured hero and a troubled heroine. It is the best category romance I’ve read this year. Fifteen years…
What to do with a book that makes you laugh at the top of the page and want to hurl it into the nearest wall at the bottom? Such is A Hoboken Hipster in Sherwood Forest. Chrissie, said Hoboken Hipster, finds herself a photographic assignment in a Medieval re-enactment faire. Somewhere along the way her…
Those of you who have been complaining of cookie cutter romances – run out and get Hope Tarr’s Vanquished. It may be set in England during the Victorian period, but it’s very far from the usual historical romance. This is a serious and sometimes gritty book with a most unusual hero and heroine. Harry Stone…
