Crazy Hot is the first book in a new Brockmann-esque series, and I found it pretty interesting. It’s essentially about a bunch of guys who work for a top-secret quasi-government agency affiliated with a garage. But not just any garage; the place they refer to as “Steele Street” has top-notch security and dozens of souped…
Her Body of Work, the first book by new author Marie Donovan, is one of the better Harlequin Blazes I’ve read in a while. The premise isn’t silly, the characters are interesting and likable, and the sensuality level is off the charts. All in all, it’s a most effective read. Chicago artist Rey Martinson’s work…
I have been waiting for Have Glass Slippers, Will Travel for awhile now, so when it came available at my library, I put my interloan order in right quick. Lisa Cach is one of my few auto-read romance authors, and I always look forward to seeing what she’ll come up with next. None of her…
This is a SuperRegency from Signet, which means it has a greater page count and more sensuality than your basic Regency, both of which Elena Greene puts to good use in Lady Dearing’s Masquerade. The widowed Olivia, Lady Dearing, survived ten hellish years with her husband and now that her year of mourning is over,…
I have been a fan of Sharon Ihle since I was in college. Her Western historicals often feature just the right amount of humor to give them a fun, folksy feel, while her characters are mostly likable and their adventures make me smile. I’ve long thought Ihle deserved a larger audience. Sadly, her first book…
This book gave me a terrible feeling: that I’ve become completely jaded as a romance reader. The Unwilling Bride is a Medieval – one of my favorite subgenres – and it’s about two people betrothed as children, but separated ever since, finally marrying – a plot I really enjoy. So why did this book almost…
In some ways the Chick Lit genre allows for more leeway in what is, often, a romantic story. For instance, romance readers who crave heroines more aggressive or more sexually experienced than Romance’s ubiquitous small town misses can often find them in Chick Lit. Nice Girls Finish First has this type of heroine, the kind…
I used to enjoy Janelle Denison’s Harlequin Temptations, but it’s been a while since I’ve read one of her books. Too Wilde To Tame, the latest in her Wilde series, delivered the high level of sensuality I expected, but suffered from weaknesses in several other areas. <!– var browName = navigator.appName; var SiteID = 1;…
It is obvious that Rachel Bailey loves her work as a civil engineer in Victorian England. She is ostracized by most social circles and must struggle in obscurity in Ireland with her work turned in under the name of a male engineer in her firm. Even so, Rachel, a shareholder in her father’s firm of…
Vicki Lewis Thompson is the only Blaze author who’s never disappointed me. While none of her previous Blazes have been keepers for me, they’ve all lived up to their billing as fun, red-hot reads much better than most. It’s been two years since her last one, and with the recent success of her single-title Nerd…
