“It was unbelievable, a play written by a madman.” So thinks a character late in this book, and I couldn’t help but agree. Although Ms. Coulter used to be an autobuy for me, The Penwyth Curse is an accurate example of why that has ceased to be so. While once upon a time you could…
Senator Grant Lawrence is, so everyone agrees, the next Kennedy. And with a bid for the presidency sure to be in his future, his political career faces the kind of threat that could end it all when his children’s nanny and his ex-stripper girlfriend are murdered in his Florida home. But, because a faithful aid…
Taking the Heat took me by surprise. Not only did it have a stalwart hero, it had a pretty stalwart heroine as well. Now, you wouldn’t think there’d be much appeal to a romance that centers on a female corrections officer in an Arizona state prison, would you? But somehow, some way, Brenda Novak makes…
As I approached the end of this book, I discovered that I was reading faster and faster. Not because it was such a good story, but because I just couldn’t wait to be done with it. Poor writing, an excess of mental lusting, and a truly boneheaded hero made reading Housebreaking a Husband an unpleasant…
On the one-year anniversary of her husband Richard’s death, Annie Hunter comes home to find a 13-year-old boy asleep on her front porch. He says his name is Cullen, and Richard was his birth father. Though her first instinct is not to believe him, Annie soon has to face the possibility that it might be…
Valentine Wharton was last seen in Captain Cupid Calls the Shots, when he was struggling with drink and more than a little in love with the heroine. Now he’s sobered up and starring in a book of his own with a Jane Eyre-ish vibe; he’s a sardonic, enigmatic employer in love with his daughter’s quiet…
There are lots of different elements in this book: mistaken identity, road romance, suspense, political intrigue, and family secrets. They all work pretty well, and the book would’ve been a real winner for me if the hero had been drawn as strongly as the heroine. As it is, I can still recommend it with very…
This being my first venture into the world of Chick Lit, I have to say, I may be hooked. The refreshingly real, down-to-earth characters in this book just won my heart, and the plot, which sometimes seemed meandering and other times predictable, managed to throw me a few curves that I never saw coming –…
Ever since I read Rachel Gibson’s Simply Irresistible, I’ve had a weakness for hockey player heroes. So when I found out Tori Carrington’s new Blaze, Fire and Ice, had one, I signed right up to review it. Tommy “Wild Man” Brodie is a hockey player, but he doesn’t see much ice action in the book….
Captured Innocence is a princess story with little charm. I read and enjoyed one of Sizemore’s fantasy titles, so I was a bit surprised at how little this book engaged me. Lady Lily Bancroft grew up living a fairly simple life in the English countryside. Her parents were loving, and she didn’t think much about…
