I was really tempted to give this book an A. I really wanted to – still want to – but I am truly trying to be much pickier. I feel that with almost everything I read now, I need to consider certain points for reviewing. As a result, I’m honestly compelled to give this book…
Private Pleasures is like a scratched record – it gets stuck in a groove and the reader never gets to hear the rest of the song. Girl loves boy and wants to marry him. Boy can’t make a commitment so girl leaves. Boy tries to convince girl to stay with him anyway. Girl doesn’t want…
The Pirate is a re-release of a category romance written by Jayne Ann Krentz in 1990. As such, $6.99 might seem a steep price to pay for a book of roughly 250 pages, but if you like JAK’s writing, you’ll enjoy The Pirate. I did, and read it in one sitting. Jared Hawthorne is Katherine…
Love Song For A Raven is a Mira reprint of a 1987 Elizabeth Lowell Silhouette Desire title. It is a moody character-centered story set in the Queen Charlotte Islands. Janna Morgan is an artist who has come to the islands for inspiration, and to recover from the break-up of her marriage. One day, she is…
There is something to be said for life in the American South. Eccentric old women, a laid-back lifestyle, gossiping without remorse or embarrassment, lemonade, flowers, old houses – I could go on and on. Sherryl Woods brings all of this to life in Amazing Gracie. Gracie is used to excellence in her work. She resigns…
A huge fan of The World According to Garp and The Hotel New Hampshire, I lost interest in John Irving when he wrote A Prayer for Owen Meany. But the buzz on his newest release, A Widow for One Year, was so good that I shelled out the big ones, and I’m thoroughly glad I…
Wow, was this a tough rating to give. Carola Dunn has written some of my favorite Regencies – gentle books full of humor about people and situations that are just a bit extraordinary, no vicious back stabbing, no hurtful or domineering heroes or wimpy, overly giving heroines. In short, she writes books that are perfect…
The cover of The Last Viking is not for those who are squeamish about reading romance novels in public. It has the hero and heroine, Rolf and Meredith in a nekkid embrace while the surf washes over them and hides all the naughty bits. Since the story takes place in Maine, I can’t help but…
Vikings are fun, aren’t they? Bring one to the present? What a great idea! When I read a blurb about The Last Viking, I knew I had to read it for myself. The Viking was all I could have imagined. Although I would not trade my dear husband for anything, I found myself thinking, Now…
(Sigh) Gosh, I don’t know…this is one of those books that’s hard to review, because there are probably many readers who will like this book a lot, probably better than I did. Not that I didn’t like it; I did. The Drifter is very well written – beautiful imagery, vivid descriptions of the Northwest and…
