I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: Thank God for digital publishing, and authors willing to make the transition. For years this 1996 RITA winner has been out of print, but last year Ms. Guhrke released this tale of an Irish boxer and a Southern lady electronically, and I finally read it a…
Tessa Dare had me at hello. Or rather, at A Week to Be Wicked’s dedication, which reads: “For all the girls who walk and read at the same time.” Like the book’s heroine, Minerva…or me. For the record, I only walked into a utility pole that one time. And there might have been a few…
Once in a while, during every reader’s literary life, you encounter a book that reminds you why you are a reader. It renews your faith, if faith was lost; it rekindles your interest, if interest waned; and every word, every page, is a wonder. Adrian and Justine’s story is not only such a book and…
Narrated by Kirsten Potter Wow, another new-to-me narrator and another fantastic one as well. Kristen Potter nails the characters of The Spymaster’s Lady and one can easily differentiate the numerous male characters, even spymaster Grey with his numerous disguises. Ms. Potter performs the part of the young French spy, Annique, with a beautiful French accent….
This debut novel, is filled with witty dialogue, sizzling chemistry, and a truly dreamy former bad-boy hero. Although there is suspense, the focus is clearly on the relationship between the hero and heroine. All I can say is, welcome, Ms. Sey. Please keep the books coming! FBI Special Agent Liz Brynn is the only person…
His at Night is the first Sherry Thomas book I’ve read since Private Arrangements, a book I liked but didn’t love. To my mind, this one’s better, and certainly worth the anticipation and buzz it’s receiving. The hero and heroine are both interesting, the conflict is compelling and intriguing, and the writing itself is fabulous….
I read about half of Meredith Duran’s debut novel, The Duke of Shadows, last year. Somehow, the book just didn’t hit me right, but I thought the author showed promise and her choice of setting was very interesting. So when I saw this one while perusing the books-for-review list, I decided to give her another…
This is a very lucky year for Carla Kelly fans: two new books to enjoy, after years of more occasional publishing. If you’ve read Kelly before, you know her books stand out. In a veritable sea of Duke This and Earl That, she writes about ordinary people who fall in love. Her language is never…
Tempting Fate is Alissa Johnson’s second book and has one of my favorite storylines: the childhood friends to lovers relationship. Though I had a few problems with it, I liked it well enough to order Johnson’s first book, As Luck Would Have It. Whittaker Cole, the Earl of Thurston, and Mirabelle Browning have known –…
I liked this book much more than I expected too. Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ve probably seen the Twilight phenomenon in action. In the last year these books have seen incredible buzz, and everyone and their dog seemed to be reading them. I read the first one, because it was a selection…
