In a time when men were warriors and women were chattel, it was a rare occurrence to find a woman with enough confidence and courage to journey miles over unfamiliar terrain to warn her king of impending attack. In The Darkest Knight the heroine is just such a woman. Unfortunately, she’s got a weak arm,…
The first thing I noticed about Eternity was its wonderful cover, which is actually representative of the story within. Thank you, Jove, for this tasteful illustration. As for the book itself, thank you again, Jove, for this tasty little treat. The plot of Eternity is fairly complex and it would be unfair to go into…
Some romances (and other fiction, for that matter) surround the plot with detail – describing surroundings, people, customs, and quirks to make the story true to the location. Admittedly if not done carefully, this can bog a book down, but done right, it can sweep a reader into the location of the book enough to…
Eternity had a great concept, combining witches and reincarnation. I really wanted to like this book. Unfortunately, the plot was full of surprises that weren’t really all that surprising, and the characters made stupid decisions. To top it all off, the viewpoint switches were distracting. Raven St. James has a secret. In a time when…
Love Once & Forever is the uninteresting tale of a woman who travels back 500,000 years in time to the lost civilization of Atlantis. It features a slow-moving plot, boring main characters, purple prose galore, and a hard-to believe premise that is completely full of holes. There are a couple of intriguing secondary characters, but…
When I first picked up Looking For A Hero by Patti Berg, I thought, “Oh no, a time travel romance set in modern day.” It’s been some time since I’ve read a contemporary romance that struck me as a good story. It’s been even longer since I’ve read a time travel that actually managed to…
The Unexpected Wife has some good points, but they can’t outweigh the fact that this is an utterly insubstantial read. Yes – it’s light, cheerful, and shows Austen’s influence in its description of the English country gentry. If I’d never read a Regency Romance before, it would have fared far better, but I’ve lost my…
There are two reviews of this book. I’m not really sure why this anthology was published. All of these stories have appeared in anthologies before. If you have read A Regency Valentine, Dashing and Dangerous, or Rakes and Rogues, then you have already read one or more of these stories. That being said, three of…
There are two reviews of this book. Let the reader beware! All the stories in Captured Hearts have been printed in earlier anthologies. So if you are a reader of anthologies, you might want to check the fine print at the beginning. That said, the stories in Captured Hearts were all new to me and…
There’s something about Scottish historicals that just seems to take hold of the imagination, and the heart. Maybe it’s the men and women, or the brogue we can hear in our heads while we’re reading. Maybe it’s Scotland’s rich history that casts a spell over the reader. Whatever it is, Tanya Anne Crosby’s book, On…
