I really like vampire romances. I especially like the ones where the hero is not tortured and trying to change himself back into being human. Neither of these stories falls into that category, thank goodness. Brides of the Night is a different Intimate Moments title. Instead of one novel, there are two novellas in this…
Only a very talented writer can take a man sentenced to death and turn him into the kind of hero that is not only appealing, but one a reader can actually feel sympathy for. Deb Stover certainly manages to pull off such a hero, and with panache, in Another Dawn. Luke made a big mistake…
It’s obvious Eileen Putman has strong story-telling abilities. In Reforming Hariett, scenes flow nicely and images are vividly portrayed. Unfortunately, her main characters fall a little short of the mark. Lady Hariett is a widow, whose philandering husband owned stock in Lord Westwood’s business. Hariett has been selling some of this stock to help out…
There are Regencies, and there are Regencies. Let me explain. Being a 90’s woman, enjoying Regencies is a contradiction to my feminist sensibilities. I like them, and yet I think of women as equals to men and believe in strong heroines – not something that was acceptable in the Regency time period. There are Regencies…
When I first started reading In Hot Pursuit , I could not get into it and put it down. After hearing and seeing so many positive reviews and comments about it, I picked it back up and gave it another chance. I’m glad I did. Roman Fitzpatrick is a tough, cop-turned-bodyguard who works for the…
The Marriage has one of my favorite plots – the marriage of convenience. I also liked the main characters, Ryan Lassiter and Maggie Drummond. There were some interesting secondary characters too, but just when I thought the book was getting interesting – it was over. Ryan Lassiter is carrying a lot of emotional baggage. His…
The Randolph Legacy is a powerful early-American novel that started a little slowly, but quickly picked up steam until I became totally absorbed in the story and its wonderful characters. In 1803, a young boy from an American ship is impressed on a British ship. When he refuses to obey the captain’s orders, he is…
What do you get when you mix a thirteenth century Scotsman, a twentieth century woman, three witches, one real ghost, one fake ghost, a familiar, secondary characters from another novel in the series, a stolen manuscript, a Christmas setting, and a Shakespeare-quoting parrot? A convoluted mess! Christmas Knight is a book with too much of…
Christina Skye has written a masterful time travel tale in Christmas Knight. Readers will fall in love with medieval knight Ronan MacLeod’s chivalry and honor and will find Hope O’Hara equally engaging. Still, there’s a surprising lack of sizzle in this book. Bride of the Mist, an earlier book in this series, went beyond sizzling…
Little girls are cute, but little boys are adorable. The Lone Rider Takes a Bride begins with a group of ten year old boys (members of the Bad Boys Club), who are meeting and plotting to get back at another boy who wrote WIMP on their clubhouse. Ben Palmer, the leader of the pack, tells…
