As I turned the pages of Into the Storm I found myself missing the author’s grown-up characters from books past – Sam and Alyssa, Kelly and Tom, and Gina and Max (well, the Max of Over the Edge anyway, not the whiny guy he turned into in Breaking Point) – who leave the children featured…
I loved this book. I was amazed that I did – Chick Lit not being my thing, and all. But I’m not prejudiced against any genre, really, having read all the prerequisites for Chick Lit 101: Helen Fielding (amusing), Sophie Kinsella (not a fan), and Jane Green (rather good), along with some other popular choices….
I am always eager to get my hands on a good time travel book. Some of my all- time faves feature time travel. I will generally give anything in this genre a shot. Not being a big fan of the Roaring Twenties, I’m glad I pick this one despite the time period. Dora Duncan is…
If Just for Kicks isn’t quite Susan Andersen at her best, it’s still a fun and largely satisfying read. Las Vegas showgirl Carly Jacobsen doesn’t have much in common with her next-door neighbor, the ultra-straitlaced Wolfgang Jones. To make bad luck even worse, the man who complains repeatedly about the barking of her new puppy…
Earth to Betsy picks up right where Heavens to Betsy left off: with the reverends (and best friends) Betsy Blessing and David Swenson’s first date. The hitch is, David wants to get hitched. He proposes right there in the restaurant, and when Betsy accepts, he reveals two whole flocks of people hiding out right there…
Kate Connor has the perfect life. Her kids, Allie and Timmy, are great. Her husband, attorney and would-be politician Stuart, is loving – if a little preoccupied. And, she has a fulfilling (albeit difficult) job. But, like any modern woman, Kate is having a little trouble balancing her home life and her career. And, since…
The Rogue Report is a newsletter, delivered twice a month to unmarried women of the ton. Within its pages are detailed exposés of various eligible gentlemen: their gaming debts, their mistresses, their drunken exploits, their scandalous secrets. Young women do well to follow its news carefully; to ignore it is to risk a life of…
Scottish romances are one of my guilty pleasures. Though most I’ve read contain truly inaccurate views of history, there is just something about the place that draws me anyway. Though this novel has some significant weaknesses, the author does a wonderful job of conjuring up a magical setting, though the novel is also at times…
Surprisingly and refreshingly, The Model Man is an entertaining romance/mystery with fun characters and a witty first-person narration. I’m happy I got past its hideous cover and confusing summary because the story inside is enjoyable and memorable. Christy Harris, former actress-turned-psychic/con artist, narrates the novel. A con artist for a heroine? I’m picky about my…
The Domino Effect is the second of Harlequin’s Extreme Blazes, books that are purportedly more daring than the usual Blaze. Julie Elizabeth Leto’s entry certainly lives up to its billing, pushing the envelope with subject matter that may make some readers uncomfortable. Those edgier elements were exactly what I liked about the book, and while…
