I’m a fan of Laura Lee Guhrke, though I’ve noticed a trend in her writing that had me worried about this latest novel in the An American Heiress in London series. It seems like there’s always one book that’s a standout DIK, one that’s a disappointment, and other books that can vary widely between better,…
I had my doubts in the opening pages as the heroine spots a gorgeous naked man on her porch. When I discovered this is another homage to Pride and Prejudice I rolled my eyes. What was I in for? It turns out I was in for a fun romance in which a local theater company…
As a musician and opera lover, the story and background to this new novel from Miranda Neville are right up my street. Nineteenth century opera and theatre are things that have long been of particular interest to me, and some of the best things about Secrets of a Soprano are undoubtedly the accuracy and richness…
I read a number of good contemporary romances in 2015, but never expected to discover one so late in the year, and by a debut author at that! But with this witty, contemporary romance set in the London theatre scene, Ms. Parker is a welcome addition to the contemporary romance. Lainie Graham, the sweetheart of…
Elizabeth Hoyt’s Maiden Lane series of books set in Georgian London has been consistently entertaining, well-written and researched and has produced a number of memorable characters and sensual love stories which have proved incredibly popular. Amazingly, now nine books in, the series shows no sign of running out of steam, as this latest offering, Sweetest…
Let me preface this review with the announcement that Told You So was my first real experience reading an inspirational romance.

I have read a number of Ms. Kearsley’s books and always enjoyed them. While I did ultimately enjoy this book, the pacing and defiance of a firm categorization kept this one from my keeper shelf. It was SLOW going for the first third of the book. Celia Sands/Sullivan is the child of a famous theater…
Committing to someone romantically and living with that person are two very different things as Anthony explains in this third Blue Notes romance. As Aria begins, Philadelphia attorney Sam Ryan is heartbroken and can’t quite bring himself to dispose of his late partner’s ashes. Sam’s family and friends urge him to cut the ties and…
Uniqueness is a highly valued trait amongst some romance readers. With so many historicals taking place in the same 10 year span of history in the same parts of England among the same social class, it is a breath of fresh air when I come across a good story in a different era and setting….
As comfort reads go, this one is near the top of my list. Every time I read it I groan, and sigh in exasperation, and roll my eyes at the dramatic hijinks of Maddy and Logan. And every year, without fail, I borrow it from the library and read it again with pleasure. Go figure….
