Stephanie Bond’s book In Deep Voodoo has an interesting plot and a wonderful cast of quirky characters. If only the hero and heroine had a spark of chemistry, it would have been an excellent read. But still, a pretty good read is nothing to sneer at. Penny Francisco and Deke Black were college sweethearts. They…
Shana Abe’s lush historicals often feature strong Alpha heroes and couples in conflict – this story is no different. However, Abe’s latest tale crosses a line that many readers may find uncomfortable. Indeed, instead of a romance, it seemed to me that I was reading the story of the destruction of a rare and beautiful…
Ghost cats, psychic connections and a paperback hero in the flesh – mix it all together and you get What Dreams May Come. Sherrilyn Kenyon, Rebecca York, and Robin D. Owens all seem to take a chance here and step away from the romance rules. The outcome is different, sort of out there and perhaps…
Heroine Tilly Snapp is one smart and resourceful woman. Unfortunately, she also makes a number of decisions in this book just for the sake of keeping the plot moving that – it has to be said – flirt dangerously in the TSTL zone. Still, the author’s voice is so fresh and funny and her characters…
Enjoying The Abducted Bride requires a huge suspension of disbelief. Was I able to do so? Not entirely. Amy Cole has spent her life immured in the country. Her mother died birthing her and she has spent her life taking care of her alcoholic father. Now that her father is dead and her brother Robert…
I’ve never read a shapeshifter romance before. It’s not generally something that appeals to me, but I was drawn in by the gothic feel of this book. It comes complete with a spooky old house, a dark and mysterious lord, and servants who border on squirrelly. Admittedly, it’s cheesy, and that’s what I liked about…
I have to admit, not much about this book made sense to me. Unfortunately, since this “I’m not buying it” factor applies to both the way the two major characters act throughout the book and the basic structure of the plot, it’s a big problem. Jenny Prillaman works as the assistant – the filing and…
Condition of Marriage is the latest in the Dynasties: The Ashtons miniseries. It’s a friends-become-lovers story that also gives new readers some of the backstory to the series. Mercedes Ashton is Spencer Ashton’s daughter by his second marriage. She works for the Louret Vinyards in the publicity department. She’s always hated Spencer – he ignored…
Lovers of military romance will be thrilled with Code of Honor. It has an exciting plot, and a pair of lovers with chemistry to spare. Joe Greco and Cooper Scott have been best friends since boyhood. A Croation, Joe was rescued by American soldiers and later adopted. Cooper was the only child of a wealthy…
I chose to review In Sheep’s Clothing because the setting and premise sounded very interesting. The book is about an American missionary who gets into trouble in contemporary Russia and must flee for her life. Since Susan May Warren is actually a former missionary who served in Russia, I figured this book might have the…
