I planned on giving this book a slightly better grade, but after waiting a week to work on the review, I sat down in front of my computer and could not remember what the book was about. In fact, I could not remember the book at all. I knew there was a book to review,…
Whose Child? is a surprisingly effective family drama that hits all the right emotional notes. For readers who enjoy the kind of quietly moving story that really touches the heart, this is a good one. When Lexie Jacobs agreed to be a surrogate for her friend David Mitchell, she didn’t know the truth about David’s…
Wedding Bell Blues is a rather nice story about an intelligent young woman striking out on her own, and finding a little love on the way. There’s nothing exceptional about it, and the hero is a bit dim, but I thought our heroine’s journey was worth reading. Moni Lawrence is a small-town girl whose beloved…
I have nothing against a predictable novel of romantic suspense. Sometimes there’s a perverse kind of comfort in knowing exactly how the story will unfold – a glamorous setting, the initial clash of the feisty heroine and the color-outside-the-lines law enforcement hero eventually flaming into great sex, psychopathic bad guys, and, of course, the heroine…
A Tale of Two Viking is a flat-out farce. Like a lot of farces, it has its share of lines that induce groans as well as laughs, but it moves so fast that the laughs far outweigh the groans. Don’t mistake this for an accurate picture of Viking life, just sit back, relax and prepare…
The Barkin Emeralds is presumably Nancy Butler’s last Signet Regency, as she’s moving on to larger single title romances. But though this may say Regency on the spine, it really doesn’t read like one. This is no comedy of manners or ton drama. It takes place on a small island in the Hebrides, and the…
One Eye Open, the new werewolf romance by Karen Whiddon, is a book that walked the thin line between getting a recommendation and not. It’s a flawed book, but every once in a while it would become good enough that it raised my opinion of it. And then it would remind me of what I…
I’ll admit I chose Ms. Knight’s Berkley debut because of the title. How could I not? A title character named Jane who has her very own warlord? Shallow reasons aside, I’m glad I gave Jane’s Warlord a shot. Though it’s a bit of a mixed bag, I do look forward to reading this author’s next…
This had nearly everything I enjoy in a romantic suspense novel; it was fast-paced, intriguing and the characters were engaging. My only quibble was that because it took place in a short period of time, the romance was somewhat rushed. Sarah Dunnemore is an historical archaeologist; her job involves researching and preserving historical sites, not…
Lisa Maria’s Guide For The Perplexed had the potential of being a fun, witty, and interesting Chick Lit book. Regretfully, though, the operative word here is “had.” Reading the blurb, the concept sounded amusing enough that I could imagine all the crazy events possible with the book’s scenario. Instead, the story ended up being rather…
