If you like your romances hotter than hot, but want the emphasis firmly on romance rather than mindless feel-good coupling, you are going to love Wilde Thing. <!– var browName = navigator.appName; var SiteID = 1; var ZoneID = 4; var browDateTime = (new Date()).getTime(); if (browName=='Netscape') { document.write('‘); document.write(”); } if (browName!=’Netscape’) { document.write(‘‘);…
I thought I would like The Love of a Cowboy. It’s a contemporary romance, with no suspense or crime elements. It’s pretty well-written, eschewing purple prose in its several original and steamy love scenes. And it’s set in rural central Idaho, where I lived for years. But I did not like this book. Dahlia Montgomery’s…
While She Was Sleeping is Suzanne Forster’s first full-length work in two years. I doubt anyone who was eagerly anticipating it will find it worth the wait. It’s neither good nor bad. It’s simply very, very average. Stop me if you’ve heard this one before: A lunatic is attacking and sexually assaulting women. The police…
Abducting Amy is the story of a beautiful, hapless heroine who gets abducted repeatedly during her season. Mad with desire, her would-be bridegrooms just can’t help trying to run off with her. It’s a cute premise, and the book has some interesting moments, but neither the hero or the heroine is all that compelling –…
In the thirteenth century, Stephen of Bellingham and Amarantha of Ullswater fall in love. He is a powerful baron. She is a beautiful warrior maiden, whose loving parents allowed her to master the arts of war and the hunt. Mara’s parents arrange the match between her and Stephen in order to ward off the loathsome…
The Notorious Marriage by Nicola Cornick is a Big Misunderstanding/Big Secret story. If the hero and heroine had talked to each other at the appropriate, natural time, this book would have been under 60 pages long. So of course they couldn’t do that. Eleanor Trevithick and Kit Mostyn are attracted to one another in spite…
I’m torn here. On the one hand, I greatly admire the resounding ring of Regency period authenticity – at least in the Heyer sense, that is – that permeates this book. But on the other hand, I found myself frustrated again and again by the fact that the book’s primary conflict is based on an…
Though Adventures of a Scottish Heiress is the first book I’ve read by Cathy Maxwell, I’m happy to say it won’t be my last. A great read, it takes the reader on a romantic, comedic, action-filled, suspenseful ride. Ian Campion is an Irish street fighter who moved to England and must support his two widowed…
While Diary Of A Blues Goddess features many standard plot devices, it also boasts a freshness of writing and spirit that makes it a fast, fun, and breezy read. That it features a heroine who is likable even when making mistakes speaks to author Erica Orloff’s ability to write a good story. Georgia Ray Miller…
Now this is erotica. To put it bluntly, Shannon McKenna’s Standing in the Shadows is the most erotic erotica I’ve come across in a very long time. She doesn’t rely on creepy fetishes or kinky sex play. She’s never, ever crude. Her characters are real, interesting, grown-up people and, to top it all off, her…
