Lawrence of Arabia meets Sylvia Pankhurst? Though this is the Victorian rather than the Edwardian era, the idea of a be-robed English soldier and fiery suffragist falling in love in Egypt is undoubtedly an intriguing one, and one ably executed by Melody Thomas. Brianna Donally, a photographer, and her sister-in-law, Lady Alexandra, a renowned archeologist,…
Terri Harrington’s Flashback may not be the best-written time travel romance I’ve ever read or the deepest, but it is my favorite. It’s a simple story, one which takes a different approach to the material than many others. It’s not concerned with the mechanics and complications of time travel. It doesn’t spend time showing how…
I’ve not read this author before, but my understanding is that she writes a more mainstream style romance – stories that have a lot more going on than just the relationship between the hero and heroine. In this manner, Painted by the Sun is no exception. Irish emigrant Shea Waterston is a lady photographer. Her…
Picture Perfect has a serious issue at the center of its plot: the sickle cell anemia disease that afflicts far too many African Americans.

I enjoy a good amnesia story – it’s interesting to see how an author serves up a fresh twist on an old cliché. Images in Scarlet uses amnesia to create a hero with a lot of vulnerability and sweetness, which is nice. Unfortunately, the the book doesn’t live up to its promise. Allison Caine encounters…
All I can say is, “Wow!” The Secrets of Sadie Maynard kept me riveted and up a little past my bedtime trying to finish it. A great hero and heroine and an interesting mystery make this one great book. Memphis Maynard (poor girl with that name!) is an award-winning photojournalist who returns to her small…
Ruth Wind is one author who is an automatic buy for me. I snatched Meant to be Married from an open box in the local Wal-Mart and went home to read it. I was glued to the book (with a few time outs to get fresh hankies) until I had finished, then I placed it…
I have to say it – a few pages in to this book, and I became obsessed with it. If I put it down, I was edgy until I could pick it up again. When I had to go to bed, I dreamed about it. When I had to go to work, I seriously considered…
