Have you given up Brockmann? Flashpoint, a definite departure in terms of style, might just be the book to win you back. If you are one of the many readers who didn’t appreciate the multiple plotlines, World War II subplots, or recurring characters, you just might want to give this one a try. Brockmann has…
Reading this series of books has been one of my highlights of the past year. I love these books and cannot recommend them highly enough. This third entry is no exception. Although it has a Romeo and Juliet type storyline, the ending is much, much better. The inhabitants of the planet Celta possess paranormal powers…
I have a bit of a love/hate relationship with Regency series featuring a group of male friends. On one hand, it can be really fun to read about a group of friends who bonded when they were young, particularly if the author is good at guy speak. And if you really like the characters, it…
The Legend of Banzai Maguire is exactly the kind of futuristic I’m always looking for but seldom find. The first in a five-part, multi-author series (with the fifth book also to be penned by Grant), it’s an action-adventure tale set on Earth in the year 2176. The story opens in 2006. While flying a peacekeeping…
Everything here – everything – is completely over the top. Tall, gorgeous billionaire hero with a flamboyant occupation. A plot involving the theft and smuggling of art and jewelry valued in the millions. And a heroine, nice though she may be, who keeps secrets from the hero w-a-a-a-y too long and – yes, it has…
I chose to review Forbidden primarily because the setting, Dark Ages England, fascinates me. But it took me a long time to both get into the story and understand what in the heck was going on with the characters. Readers lacking a great deal of interest in the period would likely be unwilling to invest…
Local gangsters, murder, and a lot of suspicious activity create a fast-paced yet underwhelming read in You’ve Got a Hold On Me. While the hero is undoubtedly a good guy, the heroine continually suspects the worst of him, and speaking of the heroine, she needed to lose some of that baggage she’d been carrying around…
A girl in gorilla suit strikes up a conversation with a cute country singer after he’s been dumped by his girlfriend, only to end up on the run with he and his mother after bullets whiz by her head outside the Heart O’Reno Casino. Dream On gets off to a rip-roaring start and never loses…
Kristin Gabriel won two RITAs for her romantic comedies and I really enjoyed some of her stories for the Harlequin Duets line. Sadly, her humor is sorely missing from Strangers in the Night, a book that really could have used it. The latest edition in Harlequin Temptation’s The Wrong Bed series, it has an interesting…
Issue stories have long been a hallmark of the Harlequin Superromance line, and Tara Taylor Quinn’s latest Shelter Valley book touches on a number of hard-hitting topics. It’s not a particularly fun read. The love story is so secondary that this is more of a where’s-the-romance than a superromance. But while it is a flawed…
