Like other novels in Silhouette’s new Bombshell line, A Perfect Cover is not a romance. It’s a suspense novel starring a smart and resourceful female heroine, working undercover to solve a series of ugly murders. It’s pretty darn good. The book opens with a couple of episodes out of the life of our first-person-narrator, Lacie…
Had my sister not recommended Mr. Family to me, I probably wouldn’t have picked it up. The cover is ultra precious, and the title is just plain bad. But I trust my sister and I’ve read Margot Early before so I figured, “What the heck.” I really wasn’t expecting a story as touching as this…
Adrianne Byrd’s latest, If You Dare, has all the elements of a great romantic suspense: a hero to die for, a heroine with secrets, and a fast moving plot that pulls the reader in. This is one great ride. Damien Black is a retired art thief with too much time on his hands. His life…

I was very excited about The Dim Sum Of All Things. By reading the blurb I expected it to be witty and hilarious. But the problem with preconceived notions is that you generally expect too much and end up disappointed instead. My cousin, for example, once raved about a certain recipe, which I then tried…
Table for Two is Dara Girad’s debut novel and a promising start for a new author.

A recent post about Kathleen Eagle’s books made me stop and think. Why do I love her writing so much? This book is one of the reasons why. Beautiful writing is a given for Kathleen Eagle.
