To say that Daniels’ first in a new mystery series starring an alternative healer was a bit of a disappointment is more then an understatement. Not only are the characters rather silly and the plotting reliant on more then one coincidence, Daniels is an author who I greatly enjoyed under another name. As Jacqueline Girdner,…
If you like those Indian romances – you know the ones, where the chieftan hero captures and falls for the beautiful blonde heroine who then proceeds to bring the light of progress to his backward tribe – then you’re sure to love this book, which is the exact same plot, transplanted on another continent and…
Traditional Regencies, as all familiar with the sub-genre know, usually limit the characters’ sexual interaction to “kisses;” any more than that would be contrary to the period, and traditional Regencies are nothing if not accurate to their time. That said, however, a lot of Regency authors make the mistake of keeping their characters’ emotions in…
Lead Me On has some very nice moments and I would encourage you to give it a try. I hadn’t read the first book in what I assume will be a trilogy, so the St. Claire siblings (Adrian, Allison, and Aurora (Rory from Falling for You) were strangers to me. This is Allison’s story, and…
“Yes, but…” Get used to seeing sentences structured like that throughout this review, because that pretty much sums up my response to Jill Shalvis’ Serving Up Trouble, a very uneven read. This is a book where every positive comes with a caveat, but (see?) every weak point generally has something positive to balance it out….
The Rogue is one of the few books that I bought and then reviewed. I’d read Ms. Delacroix’s previous book Double Trouble (written under her Claire Cross pseudonym) and loved so much about it. I loved that it was told in the first person, I loved the much edgier than usual heroine, I loved that…
Queen Bee Of Mimosa Branch is women’s fiction and pretty good women’s fiction too. However, if you are looking for some romance in your women’s fiction, you need to try another book. This one is filled with female bonding, family bonding, personal discovery, and a touch of lust. But no romance. Linwood Breedlove Scott was…
Couldn’t somebody have come up with a better title for this book? Spanish Disco has nothing to do with Spain, and very little to do with disco. But don’t let the title put you off this engaging story about a woman who has to learn that the lines between personal and professional lives are sometimes…
Every successful author must have at least one book published early in her career, which is surely the last she would recommend to anyone looking for a sample of her work. For Patricia Gaffney, Sweet Treason could be it. Unfortunately, even the engrossing story and elegant prose couldn’t redeem its two great blunders: a hugely…
This book would have been so much better if it weren’t for the hero and heroine. Which is not a really promising realization to have about a romance novel, but having had it, I thought I’d better warn you. Gideon Harwood, recently returned from India, is searching for his lost brother Caleb when he stumbles…
