Please forgive the choppiness of this review’s appearance – it appears as it does to take advantage of our database The Red Dress Ink imprint seems to be expanding its parameters. Instead of Chick Lit, Girl Boy Etc is Michael Weinreb’s collection of short stories told from a male perspective, and the first such Red…
Who said vampires can’t be fun? Charlaine Harris clearly doesn’t buy it as she proves once again in the latest entry in her delightful Sookie Stackhouse series. Since bad boys have always held immense appeal for me, fans of the series won’t be surprised that I’ve always had a major Jones for Eric, the sexy…
Once A Gentleman is third in a series of historical romances written by Candice Hern and set in England in the early 1800s. The focus of this installment is Nic (brother of Edwina from Once A Scoundrel) and his relationship with coworker, Pru. There is no edge-of-your-seat suspense, and we do have to wait a…
I love Beverly Barton’s Protectors series. I love big, macho, alpha male bodyguards and the women who domesticate them. The best titles in this series have a good suspense story and lots of sexual tension. Keeping Baby Secret was not one of them. I’d call it “Protectors lite”.

Harlequin Historicals has recently published a number of books quite different in setting and voice from the current run of Regency-set romances filling the rosters of most publishers. Margo Maguire’s latest historical romance fits the Harlequin bill nicely: It’s a refreshingly different, creative, and touching romance with enjoyable characters and a whimsical – but still…
Amnesia plots aren’t the hot button for me that they are for many romance readers. Yes, it is a huge cliché that is seldom done well and could stand to be used a lot less often than it is. But I’ve read too many books where the author manages to build a good story around…
In Hard Landing and Tarmac Lynne Heitman revealed the fascinating, behind-the-scenes life of an airport. Her protagonist Alex Shanahan, like the author, was an airline operations manager. As she did her job (and solved a mystery or two) the reader got to learn intriguing and sometimes scary details about life in an airport. Alex returns…
Moon in the Water is an uncommonly lush and lovely historical romance. Most of the story takes place aboard a steamer on the Mississippi River, a very nice setting for the gentle love story that unfolds there. Owning a riverboat seemed like an impossible dream for a steersman like Chase Hardesty. Then James Rossiter, owner…
