After three books by this author, I’m still not sure if I like her work. Never a Lady fared better than the others and the last fifty pages, along with a beautiful ending, bumped my grade up so that this one earns a qualified recommendation. Alexandra, Madame Larchmont, is a skilled fortune teller being paraded…
Just when I thought Return of the Highlander would never take off, it finally did, and the last third of the book was a very enjoyable read. However, it did take a long time to get there and the book never really came together into a totally satisfactory read, but on the whole, it was…
Johanna Lindsey is one author I can usually enjoy if I don’t think much about all the unlikelihoods and but-what-abouts. Expecting her books to be humorous if not a bit trite, I guess you could say that I put myself in a Lindsey frame of mind and have fun riding the surface of the story….
A contemporary story, paranormal style, with an alien king fighting to save his own people and protect earth, along with shapeshifters, time-travel, erased memories, flying spacecraft, mating cycles, a hidden base in the Teton mountains, and a plain little female geologist are a few of the elements that make up Parallel Attraction. It’s a lot…
In Sharon Page’s Regency-set A Gentleman Seduced, Diana is about to marry Stephen, a gentleman to be sure, but a seemingly passionless one. He’s never even tried to kiss Diana on the mouth. So before settling into dull, staid respectability, Diana wants one sensual adventure. Luckily for her (and the story), Diana’s secret half-sister Ivory…
When I picked up Highland Fling, I didn’t think I had read any of Jennifer LaBrecque’s previous Blazes. That seemed strange since she wrote one of the books in the terminally dull “24 Hours” promotion that I tried following last year. Sure enough, a quick review of the plot of that book, Daring in the…
Once Upon Stilettos is the sequel to Enchanted, Inc., and both books are Alternate Reality/Chick Lit hybrids. Katie Chandler works for a company called Magic, Spells, and Illusions, Inc., but her roommates and parents know it only as MSI. Like most of the population, they are blissfully unaware of the magic going on around them….
Whispers of the Night started out with a bang – great writing with a fabulous setting and complex characters – only to become a bit of a frustrating read when a clichéd plotline was introduced. Alcyone Carter is the stunningly beautiful daughter of a wealthy industrialist who wishes his daughter to marry a peer. After…
Despite the perks, being the Queen of Vampires isn’t all that it’s cracked up to be. True, her Vampire Highness Betsy Taylor gets to live forever, is perpetually thirty, and is about to marry vampire hottie, Eric Sinclair, but even a Vampire Queen has to deal with unpleasant house-guests, relatives, wedding plans, and bad hair…
Two Women of Galilee tells the story of Jesus’ ministry and crucifixion from the standpoint of a female observer, that of Joanna, one of the few women mentioned in the Gospels. Little is known about Joanna – she is only mentioned in scripture twice, and briefly – so most of this book definitely falls under…
