  • Never Sleep With Strangers

    Never Sleep With Strangers has a creepy gothic setting and likeable lead characters. But while I’ve read many romantic suspense novels that suffered because there weren’t enough suspects, but this is one of the few that had too many suspects. This book should’ve come with a cast list. The over-abundance of characters really clutters the…

  • The Haunting of Henrietta

    Let’s say for a moment that St. Peter actually has the time to worry about each and every one of us when we arrive at the Pearly Gates (the waiting lines would be horrific). Through some sort of a mix up, could he actually condemn a few people to walk the Earth until they can…

  • The Reef

    Since I first discovered her about two years ago, I have worshiped at the altar of Nora like many other romance readers.

The Regency anthologies are especially alluring to me. I’m not sure what draws me to them – maybe it’s all that mistletoe. This year’s…

  • The Last Waltz by Mary Balogh

    Mary Balogh can create some of the most thoughtful, complex conflicts around. She can also write “Big Misunderstanding” plots that make you want to knock the main characters’ heads together. Unfortunately, The Last Waltz falls into the latter category. While the book is enjoyable for its charming setting and well-developed secondary characters, the gloom of…

  • Indiscreet

    I love historical novels set in the regency period and I had heard some good things about this book, but I found myself picking it up and putting it down again and again and again. It’s not that I disliked this book but I just could not get involved with it. Indiscreet begins with the…
