If I had an outsized gospel voice that could penetrate digital walls, this review would just be me singing “Oh, happy day!” But that wouldn’t be good for your ears, not to mention the fact that it would be pretty insufficient as reviews go. So I’ll just have to settle for outsized elation in plain…
A world controlled by the Horde. Nanoagents. Clockwork men. Europe overrun with zombies. We can be only one place: The Iron Seas. This outstanding steampunk series combines dangerous women, adventurous men, endless action, and scintillating romance. Lovers of this genre really can’t do better than to pick up one of these tales. This novel starts…
Sometimes, when I read a book by an author I normally enjoy, I realize partway through that I am going to have to put together a review that pains me to write. This is exactly what happened to me as I read Captured. I have read several of Beverly Jenkins’ books so I know she…
The popularity of the historical novel has waxed and waned since Sir Walter Scott invented it when he published Waverly. In 1922, Rafael Sabatini published Captain Blood, the tale of a physician sold into slavery who becomes a pirate. The book was so popular, it spawned several sequels and cemented Sabatini’s reputation as a master…
Four years ago I began reading romance and my first year of non-stop romances was by far the most fun I have ever had reading. The Pirate Prince was one of my favorites that year and when I reread it recently, I found myself once again mesmerized by its swashbuckling hero and fairy tale quality….
Jennifer Ashley’s The Care and Feeding of Pirates is part funny, part exasperating, part exciting, and a little frustrating.

Into His Arms is Paula Reed’s debut novel. With an exotic setting, an unusual source of conflict, and a really adorable hero, she’s off to a good start. Faith Cooper is not your typical heroine: she’s a Puritan. Even though her heart is not involved, she has just about decided to accept her latest suitor….
Gaelen Foley’s debut is an old-school romance heavy on the fairy-tale aspect as it comes complete with a handsome prince, a fair maid whose esteem he must win, and a devastated kingdom requiring his noble touch to return it to its former glory. But if The Pirate Prince is a fairy tale, it’s a dark…
If you haven’t tried any of this author’s books yet, you just might want to get to it because The Pirate Next Door is, quite simply, a lot of fun. Watching proper widow Alexandra Alastair learn to let down her guard and actually enjoy falling for her rather unorthodox (to say the least) neighbor was…
As widowed Alexandra Alastair compiles a listing of possible second husbands, she wonders whether she should add the new Viscount Stoke to her list. When she hears, through a connecting wall, a villain attempting to hang him, Alexandra races to the rescue and begins an adventure that will turn her staid life upside down. Alex…
