On a positive note, Carla Cassidy’s latest single title romantic thriller begins extremely suspensefully. Unfortunately, even though the book is packed with excitement, features a diabolical villain, and a suspense plot that is anyone’s worst nightmare, some truly over-the-top plotting and an unlikely balance of romance to suspense add up to a novel that is…
I’m definitely getting on the Leslie LaFoy bandwagon. This follow-up to The Perfect Seduction features what worked well about the last book – interesting characters and a unique premise – and goes that earlier novel one better by picking up the pace of the central couple’s developing relationship. The result is a solid recommendation for…
I remember reading Heather MacAllister’s Manhunting In Memphis several years ago,and liking it very much, so I looked forward to Can’t Buy Me Love. It zipped along quickly and featured a hero who was really sweet, most of the time. But that’s it – I couldn’t find much else to praise about it, and plenty…
I don’t know anyone who doesn’t have some strong political feelings. Among my friends are one vocal Bush-supporter, several active in the effort to elect Kerry, and a few who have become so disgusted with the entire political process that they refuse to participate at all. Even those who are ambivalent are passionate about it,…
Kitty Robertson, the daughter abandoned by Jessye from Never Love a Cowboy, is the heroine of An Invitation To Seduction and, though Jessye is not exactly in the book, fans will surely be interested in reading about Kitty’s life as an American heiress in Victorian England. Although the book features little action and isn’t exactly…
Bad Boys Down Under has “beach read” written all over it. With its hot surfer dudes (and chicks) and short-story format (you can probably finish a story before you have to re-apply your sunscreen), it’s perfect for the summer.
Some time ago a friend of mine recommended A Crime of the Heart as a good cry-your-eyes-out kind of read. I am only occasionally in the mood to cry my eyes out, so this one has sat neglected in the TBR for at least a year. But as I was picking out books to read…
Every time a new J.D. Robb comes out I snap it right up. It’s now book twenty and while I’ll admit that the book did sit on the table for a few days (as opposed to my sitting down and reading it in one gulp like I did at the beginning), Robb still delivers with…
One Wicked Night is something of a mixed bag. Although I enjoyed Robins’ latest at times, it never truly came alive for me. There was also a forcible seduction scene in the book that left me feeling a little uncomfortable because were the situation was reversed, it could be considered rape. Despite that shocking scene,…
The fourth installment in the Karen Kingsbury’s Redemption series, Rejoice catches readers up with the lives of the Baxter family. While the authors do a great job in continuing the story of this family’s life, not much else occurs in this book. Rejoice is a quick read about an interesting family, but too much preaching…
