For me, 2005 has been the Year of Nonfiction. For whatever reason – possibly because it’s easier to read with constant toddler interruption – quite a bit of it crossed my palms this past year. A month or so ago I read one of this year’s best-sellers, Freakonomics by Steven Levitt and Stephen Dubner. I…
Follow Me is an unusual paranormal about a man and a woman who are soulmates, but live in different countries and centuries. There were some passages in this book that were haunting and powerful – but there were even more passages that were simply confusing. The idea behind this book is a good one, but…
Alicia Fields begins Fatal Attraction with a unique premise. Given that many myths have some kernel of truth to them, she sets her story of the Greek gods as if these gods were in fact people who lived during the Greek Dark Age, and that their half-remembered lives eventually became twisted into the mythology of…
Ms. Logan’s sophomore effort is a sequel to her debut novel, A Kiss in the Dark, and A Kiss Before Dawn leans heavily upon it. Too heavily for someone who has not read the first book. Tristan Knight, the Earl of Ellington (I found myself mentally changing his title to “Duke”), and his wife Deirdre…
Jenna Mindel’s tale of suspense and suspicion reads very smoothly – so smoothly, in fact, that I sat down one evening to read a few chapters at bed time and, before I knew it, it was past midnight and I was still flipping pages. This is not an action-packed read, but there is just something…
It’s not often I’m willing to shell out more than ten bucks for a book I’ve heard nothing about, but the cover copy of Laura Resnick’s Disappearing Nightly sounded so good I went ahead and ordered it. Luckily, it didn’t disappoint and I got my money’s worth. Actress Esther Diamond is the understudy for the…
Fantasy and Paranormal Romances seem to be everywhere these days, and Cheyenne McCray’s Forbidden Magic stands as one of the most entertaining I’ve read in some time. While not perfect, it is a sexy and exciting read. Silver Ashcroft is a D’Anu witch, sworn to practice only white magic. Without her coven’s knowledge, she secretly…
This is the final installment in Roberts’ In the Garden trilogy. Although it’s not necessary to read the books in order, to understand the wallop she packs into this last book, it’s best to read at least one of the other books first. I’ve been eagerly awaiting Harper and Hayley’s story and I wasn’t disappointed…
A Year and a Day is a Harlequin Superromance with a Sleeping with the Enemy plot. The heroine, Audrey Colby, is trapped in a violent marriage with a wealthy Atlanta businessman, and she’s desperate to escape and make a new life for herself and her son. This plot is compelling. So compelling, in fact, that…
While it is true that Romance-land contains no shortage of spies or family series, there are still spy romances out there well-written enough to grab and hold a reader’s attention. While I admit that the premise of a family of lovable spies seemed a bit much for me to go along with initially, Miranda Hartwell…
