I’ve read so many disappointing westerns lately that I am almost afraid to pick them up. But At Twilight’s back cover copy sounded intriguing, so I gave it a shot – and I’m glad I did. It’s easily the best western I’ve read in the last couple of years. Slow paced and thoughtful, it’s a…
Roseanne Bittner has written many action-filled historical romances set in the American West with vivid settings and memorable characters that often reflect the author’s personal faith. Having read several of her historicals, I eagerly anticipated her first inspirational romance. But, while Where Heaven Begins is basically a good story, it is an uneven one, and…
Self-published books can sometimes provide an interesting reading experience since the author herself is usually investing both her time and money into a book born simply out of her love for the story. It’s obvious in Calico Queen that her love of writing and fascination with the people and settings she creates motivate Elizabeth Butler….
The cover of Sunset Embrace (originally published in 1985) describes it as “a classic love story,” and really nothing describes it better. I adore this book for many reasons that I’ll get to later, but for now let me introduce the two main characters. Lydia Langston is a young woman on the run from the…
If you’re looking for a book to jump-start your reading during these gray January days, look no further. She Went All the Way is a fast, funny, sexy, romantic ride. I’ll admit right off the bat that I’m a sucker for those Hollywood romances. And, even though I’ve polished off quite a few of them…
Linda Madl’s Silk and Secrets is a flawed but fun Victorian romance with a very old-fashioned feel to it and strong Gothic overtones. <!– var browName = navigator.appName; var SiteID = 1; var ZoneID = 4; var browDateTime = (new Date()).getTime(); if (browName=='Netscape') { document.write('‘); document.write(”); } if (browName!=’Netscape’) { document.write(‘‘); document.write(”); } // –>…
How far would a man go for honor? What if the last words to your husband were said in anger? How do you reveal a secret that will shatter a person’s life? In asking these questions this romance created more heart and soul than I found in any other romance this year. There were no…
The Wedding Journey is a rather whimsical title for a book that so clearly juxtaposes humanity’s potential for both great good and terrible evil. A more accurate, if less appealing, title would be Retreat Into Hell. That would better convey what these characters have to confront and overcome. Elinore “Nell” Mason is the daughter of…
Having read Reavis’s new historical The Bride Fair, I was curious about its relationship to the author’s other historicals. I did a little digging and found out that the The Prisoner is a prequel of sorts, so I searched out a copy of the older book, hoping that it would be as good, but not…
Three Fates is a Nora Roberts single title that is like one of her trilogies rolled into one. Three great heroines, three great heroes, suspense and a fairly believable villain make this one of the best of Nora’s books I’ve read in a long time. If you haven’t picked up her hardbacks in a while…
