  • The Truth About Family

    In the last few years, I’ve found series romances much more appealing. I don’t know if it’s because I’m older, or because I’m busier. Or maybe I am just lazier. But when I crack one open, it feels like less of a commitment. Somewhere along the line I’ve gotten a better feel for the various…

  • Dark Whispers

    A detective hero, an unconventional heroine, a supposedly haunted mansion, a decades-old mystery, blackmail and murder – sounds interesting, no?

  • Hitting the Mark

    An atypical heroine and a provocative opening scene get Jill Monroe’s Hitting the Mark off to a good start. Unfortunately the rest of the book never lives up to them thanks to an undeveloped hero and a slow-moving storyline. As the book opens, Danni Flynn wants revenge against her lover, Eric Reynolds, after discovering the…
