In Christmas Letters Debbie Macomber says what every mother of young children has wanted to say to the childless who are full of “helpful” advice on child-raising. As a mother, I got the distinct feeling that Ms. Macomber had also been in the position of receiving unwanted “help” as her child “acted out” in the…
Pink Ice is the type of anthology I can sink my teeth into: four inter-connected stories that are woven together as much as they are distinctly separated. Three sisters, one jewel thief, and a pair of pink diamond earrings made for an enjoyable read. Two stories sparkled more than the others but I wouldn’t have…
And then there are stories that make you go “what the h_ll?” Raindrops Keep Falling on My Dead started out alright. Cute title, cute cover, cute premise. Cindy’s Uncle Buck is more than he appears. For one thing, he’s died three times in the last ten years. But he’s never quite ready to give up…
I actually had to look up the genre for this novella because it has a kind of Medieval feel to it, though the characters pop out occasionally with a non-period appropriate “Great!” As a Fantasy, however, all expressions are valid. The genre label also takes into account the defining plot detail of The Invisible Rose….
Lord of Seduction is a Medieval with a childhood friends storyline and a road trip thrown in for good measure. Each of those worked in the book’s favor, but while I was predisposed to enjoy it, it left me wanting and in the end I wish I’d liked it more. Six-year-old Lady Tanon Risande, goddaughter…
“This day just keeps getting better.” Deputy Dorie Berenger stared at the alligator in front of her. It had to be the swimming pool…The pool owner, Maylene Thibodeaux, bulged out of a lawn chair next to the structure of cloudy water, jug in hand, wearing a pink bikini and sitting in stoned silence. Which was…
After a truly hellacious day, I knew I needed to set aside the gritty piece of historical fiction I was currently reading and find something that would make me smile. After a quick glance at my review pile, I decided on the pretty blue book with a cat in a tiara on it. Kirsten Sawyer…
Do you want a book with lots of sex? This book is for you. Do you want a book with stories about love (actually, sex) at first sight? This book is for you. Do you want a book featuring stories about love (sex) at first sight and do you want that book to be truly…
For Love of a Pirate features a hero who always does the correct thing and a heroine who has had a very unconventional upbringing. It’s not a wild romp, instead it’s a quiet character-driven romance that I found to be very charming. Constantine Wylde, Lord Wylde, is a London gentleman and paragon of the ton….
Who Wants To Be A Sex Goddess? is a hybrid chick lit/romantic suspense tale that takes place at a New Age kind of resort. I had problems with the book from practically the beginning and never warmed up to it at all. Chalk this up as a very silly story. When stunt woman Ariadne (Andy)…
