When it comes to romance, I generally go all French. Chacun à son goût, right? Some readers prefer Regencies, some Contemporaries; some just like kisses in their novels and some…well…like bondage threesomes with two bird-winged twin brothers. For me, it is variety what makes romance such a great genre, or since I’m French for this…
First Love is part of The Bridesmaid Chronicles series. It’s written in a fast and breezy style, but I often felt like a stranger at a family reunion – I simply didn’t know these people to begin with, and closed the book still feeling like they were strangers. Julia Spinelli is about to marry Roman…
Though An Unlikely Governess is a satisfying enough gothic-tinged romance, the truth is that it’s a lot more satisfying before the reader is subjected to incredibly annoying TSTL behavior by the heroine in the book’s final pages. As a word of warning, if you’re as creeped out as I am by extremely desperate heroines –…
If we graded debut novels on a curve, this one would rate a B. Frankly, the author’s clear voice and smooth prose are enough to compensate to some degree for a plot I didn’t even come close to buying and some distressingly one-note characterizations. Sadly, though, these two positives are only enough to land A…
2005 will forever be the Year of the J.D. Robb Glom for me. I read Naked in Death in March and have since read all of the 23 books and two anthology contributions which comprise the series – and loved, to varying degrees, them all. Yes, I am firmly planted on the In Death Bandwagon….
Silhouette’s year-long miniseries Dynasties: The Ashtons limps to a close with Name Your Price. Since we found out who killed Spencer, evil patriarch of the Ashton clan in the last book, this one just ties up all the loose ends and marries off the last remaining Ashton, Eli. Eli is Spencer’s son by his socialite…
On my own time I read a lot of Fantasy and I’ve recently gotten into vampire tales as well. Given this background, I’ve seen an awful lot of weirdness, but nothing I’ve come across can even begin to touch this book. While the author has a lot of creative ideas, they never really flow together…
Dr. Elizabeth Iverson is a dedicated cardiologist on staff of an exclusive Chicago heart center catering to the affluent. An overachiever by nature, medicine is Elizabeth’s life – or was until five years earlier when her precious daughter was born. Not wanting the father’s interference and assuring herself that he wouldn’t want to be involved…
Readers craving for a less common historical period need wait no longer. Judith E. French’s The Warrior, the final book in her Alexander the Great series, satisfies that craving and shows the Ancient World in an exciting, vibrant light. Alexander, son of the Alexander the Great, supposedly makes it to adulthood and becomes a great…
Like many average books, This Rake of Mine is a little hard to sum up. Overall it was enjoyable, if not exactly breathtaking. I never truly felt drawn into the characters and felt the circumstances surrounding their relationship were a bit silly. In addition, Miranda’s heart/mind battle grew wearing toward the end. All of this…
