I picked up 7 Days and 7 Nights eagerly because I had recently been pondering two romance novel topics: the dearth of interesting workplace romances, and the ripeness of the “reality programming” trend as a romance backdrop. This novel, the story of two competing talk radio DJs (one male, one female, of course) closed up…
Are you looking for a powerful, gut-wrenching read, the kind of story that’s destined to stick with you for a long time? This is not the book for you. Like your romances to be really dramatic and emotional? Keep moving; there’s nothing to see here. Want to read about strong, really deep characters who change…
RB: The Widow Maker is the first book of a swashbuckling pirate romance trilogy set in 1720. The story of this hero and heroine is told through the course of all three books, so this is just the first chapter. It’s got a rather Woodwissian sort of style. It also has annoying characters, a lame…
Confession time: I’ve never read a Susan Johnson book before. I’m not sure why since Johnson has been writing romances for quite a long time, but somehow I never picked one up. I was happy to review Hot Pink so that unfortunate situation could be rectified. But perhaps Hot Pink wasn’t the right Johnson to…

Invitations To Seduction is explicit but not particularly exciting, and two of the three stories included seem as if they were dashed off poolside in between the first and the second margarita. The premise for the three stories is that the characters…
Last year I read Jill Winters’s debut, Plum Girl, and thought it showed potential, so I asked to review her second book.

On her 29 birthday, Loretta D’Angelo endures a torturous afternoon with her family in Long Island, listening to them tell her how she needs to find a man. Unmarried and unattached, Loretta is happy enough with her single status. Sure, she wouldn’t mind meeting someone, but she’s not exactly on the prowl for Mr. Right….
Like a kid in a candy store, author Victoria Bylin can’t stop herself from using every simile and metaphor she has ever encountered, and her story – a simple romance between a troubled man and a gentle, brave woman – gets bogged down in her narrative. Of Men And Angels has the kernel of a…
It’s hard to tell exactly where Kasey Michaels is having more fun in this second entry in her Maggie series: Shining a spotlight on just how annoying a a suddenly-come-to-life Regency hero might be or skewering the world of romance writing, publishing, and – dare I say it? – online romance reviewing. Either way, Maggie…
In Gone Too Far, Navy SEAL Sam Starett travels to Florida to get his estranged wife to sign divorce papers. When he discovers what is apparently her dead body on the floor of her home, he calls contacts Max Bhagat of the FBI – and ends up talking to Alyssa Locke, the woman he still…
