I picked up this book one day, because of its cover. Yes, the enigmatic look of both man and woman, staring at something far into the horizon, told me they had a special story to tell. And they did. The only reproach I have for the author, however, is the title. Saxon Bride is not…
Sometimes I think romance readers can get stuck in a rut by confining themselves to only medievals, only regencies, or only series books. Me – I like variety and am pleased when an author sets a book in a time period that is not often used in romances. Cranberry Point is sent in the American…
According to the translation, toraware is the Japanese word for obsession. I wonder what the Japanese word for boring is, because almost all the characters in this novel are self-obsessed navel-gazers. Harlan Cooper is an American who has served in Vietnam, been homeless in Seattle, and wandered through India. Now he is in Japan and…
I hadn’t heard anything about this book, but it looked good and it had a cop as a hero (which I just love) so I picked it up. I am so glad. I found myself unwilling to put it down, even while I was having dinner with my husband! And after thumbing through it a…
I wanted very badly for Sea Spell to cast a spell over me because I love selkie stories, romance or otherwise. And while the story of this selkie and his lady love was sweet music to my ears, there were so many other instruments blaring that the resultant cacaphony was deafening. By the time all…
Stranger in My Arms starts with a wonderful premise. A not-much-beloved husband comes back from the dead, changed. His title is restored, his fortune on the mend, the only thing left is to woo his wife – a wife who does not have many fond memories of him, having married him for practical reasons and…
Lisa Kleypas has written many wonderful books that I have absolutely loved. Her two best, Then Came You and Dreaming of You, offer two of my most favorite heroes ever in Lord Alex Raiford and Derek Craven, respectively. The heroines in these stories are equally impressive, especially Lily Lawson in Then Came You. Lily is…
Well, I did something this week that I promised myself I never would do. I read two Judith Duncan books in a row, and I really can’t say that I’m sorry. I was contacted last week by a lady who’s a Judith Duncan reader like me, and in her e-mail, she mentioned that one of…
This is the first book of Judith Duncan’s Wide Open Spaces series, and I feel it’s a book that’s not to be missed. Tanner McCall is a half-breed Native Canadian, living on a ranch just outside Bolton, Alberta. Now, that might not mean anything to anybody else, but to me, it’s a real town in…
Bedroom Eyes is a modern fantasy, and it’s cute enough in places. But I know if I’m asked a year from now if I’ve read it, I won’t remember it. Tax attorney Penelope Sue Fields has recently been recruited away from a prestigious Chicago law firm to relocate to a prestigious New Orleans law firm….
