I Can Make You Love Me is the story of a single mother in her early-forties, and the younger man who is determined to win her heart. It’s a pleasant, but ultimately average read. Real estate attorney Adam Carlyle has never forgotten Wynn Evans, his childhood babysitter and first crush. After Wynn went off to…
I didn’t have much hope for this book. The cloyingly sweet cover, combined with a secret baby plot and the Mafia, left me cringing. Happily, I was wrong – very, wrong. When done well, a series romance can pack a tremendous punch and Molly O’Keefe’s The Son Between Them, is a complex, emotion-packed book that…
When Flat-Out Sexy arrived in my mailbox for review, I eagerly opened the package to begin reading. My eyes immediately locked on the, uh, bulging cover and as they continued to drift in that direction, I knew this was one book I would have been too shy to carry to my local bookstore register. While…
Susan Wiggs is almost always a guaranteed good read for me. The particular style of her contemporaries with narration going back and forth in time is a favorite, even though it can drive me crazy as I’m reading, because I just want to know what the hell happened between the hero and heroine twenty years…
My husband posed a hypothetical to me not too long ago: If there was a book I wanted – really, really wanted, but the only way I could get it was to drive to a town 300 miles away, what would I do? My response: “Road Trip!” This conversation, singled out from the many we…
This book tied to win as Best Series Novel in AAR’s 2005 reader poll, and got much buzz last year, so I looked forward to reading it. But it’s much the same fare as found in most historical romances, even if the set-up is more novel. The story starts out with Madeleine, a very young…
Like many new writers, Diane Gaston suffered years of rejection before Harlequin’s Mills & Boon published her first novel, The Mysterious Miss M, for the U.K. market in 2004. What is remarkable about that is Gaston isn’t a British romance writer; she’s an American living in Virginia (who now writes under the name Diane Perkins…
Kathleen Korbel’s RITA-winning A Soldier’s Heart has long been considered a classic of the genre, and it continues to hold up as a most excellent read. A book that is perhaps even more timely and relevant today than when it was first published, it’s a moving exploration of war’s lingering effects, not only on those…
I’ve been aware of Leslie LaFoy for awhile now as her recent books have garnered good grades from my fellow reviewers. The problem is, I’m not too keen on Regency historicals or spies. So when I saw she was now trying her hand at category romance which is more my cuppa, I jumped at the…
Blue Dahlia, which combines an intriguing mystery and a compelling romance, just earned a spot firmly on my keeper shelf . Halfway through reading this book I realized I wanted the next two books in the trilogy right now so I wouldn’t have to wait to find out what happens with the Harper ghost and…
