Who are all these people?! I gather that The Lost Dreams is part of a series since the characters dropped many references to past events of which I was evidently unaware. Perhaps I would not have been so lost had I read the earlier books, but after reading this one, I’m in no rush to…
Recently someone suggested that Minerva by Marion Chesney was a good title to add to one of the Special Title Listings. Having read Minerva a long time ago, my curiosity was piqued, and I went digging through some boxes to find my copy of the book. I vaguely remembered liking the story, and, upon reading…
Sam Tremaine has no respect for Juliette Morrow, a woman he believes has no honor. He does appreciate the skills, though, of the woman he believes is the cat burglar known as le petit voleur. The CIA agent needs her expertise to steal the evidence he needs to catch a man with terrorist connections, the…
It’s never pleasant to pan an author’s debut, but I have seldom met a sillier couple than Erin James and Jared Warfield and I have seldom read a sillier book than The Bachelor Chronicles. Silly couple + silly book = really bad reading experience. Erin James is a newspaper reporter set to interview hot millionaire…
Catherine Anderson has a very easy-to-read style that pulls a reader in with its simplicity and flow. Unfortunately, the plot is also simplistic, many characters are clichéd or straight out of central casting, and I’m afraid I was just too cynical to enjoy much of the story. After a horrible accident in which Chloe Evans’…
I’ve seen positive feedback for this book on message boards and it has all the ingredients I like in a book – SEALs, spies, action, adventure, and intrigue – so it surprised me when I was so under-whelmed by the story. Was I suffering from the general reading malaise many readers seem to be suffering…
I had to put The Diamond Key down several times to wipe away tears of laughter. If you are feeling down, and I was when I began reading this book, you will feel much better when you’ve finished it. Metzger’s new Regency is a frontrunner for my pick as Favorite Funny of 2003. It goes…
The best thing I can find to say about this book is that it’s not as bad as the poem that begins it: It began in the autumn, Eighteen eighty-eight, Scotland Yard and Whitechapel Were in such a state. Five drunken “unfortunates” Jack sent to hell Without even so much as A “Fare-thee-girls-well!” Got it?…
What would you do if you found out that your identity was a lie? That you had been kidnapped as a child and sold to be raised as someone else? Those are the questions that confront Dr. Callie Dunbrook when she goes to rural Maryland to lead an archeological dig and finds more than just…
I’ve read a good many contemporary romances purporting to be about bad girls, but I do believe I actually encountered one of those rare critters in Tori Carrington’s Red-Hot & Restless. Nicole Bennett isn’t a bad girl because the author told us she was, then threw in a few over-the-top acts of ballsiness to add…
