The Plain People are a religious group, similar to the Amish or the Mennonites. A member of their sect, “Plain” Rachel Yoder, lives peacefully on her Montana ranch, tending to her sheep and enjoying her “straight and narrow” way of life. She is not truly happy, though, and every time she looks at her ten-year-old…
I am about to commit sacrilege and, believe you me, it isn’t something I take lightly. Before committing the actual deed itself, I called my local used bookstore to see what, if anything, they had been hearing about this book. I wanted someone – anyone – to corroborate my opinion before I took the frightening…
Son Of The Morning is an interesting story to think about. It’s certainly unlike anything I’m used to reading by Linda Howard, but that isn’t necessarily a bad thing. There are so many elements to this book, it’s difficult to pinpoint exactly what type of story it really is. I wouldn’t call it a romance…
When I think of Ireland, I think of a land full of history and magic. I think of centuries full of tradition and folk tales. Magic is a book that brings all of these things to life. Ireland is overrun by wealthy English landowners that want nothing more of their Irish land dwellers than more…
I like an author that knows her audience is intelligent. Judith Ivory writes elegantly and is not afraid to use larger words. She writes like she knows we can understand the more complicated phrases, like she knows we can hold an idea in our heads for longer than a page. Sleeping Beauty, although slightly complicated…
Cassidy’s Courtship is Sharon Mignerey’s first book for Silhouette. I’ll go on record as saying it is one of the best category novels I have read this year, and one of the best novels I have read this year, period. Brenna James is being sued for writing a bad check. The attorney for her opponent…
Sandra Brown is well-known for her contemporary novels, but Hidden Fires is an example of one of her attempts at a historical romance novel. The characters, plot, setting, and conflict of the novel are very typical, nothing special or out of the ordinary. Not too complicated, not too sensual, and not too surprising, Hidden Fires…
I needed cheering up. I was a little down, and decided to check over my TBR stack – uh, okay box – I mean shelf – all right room – to see if there was something lying around that might lift my spirits. When my eyes fell to Upon a Midnight Clear, I thought, yes,…
First of all, There Goes the Bride had lots of promise, and it could just have been my mood – I’ll be the first to admit that one – but I found that, as I read along, there were just certain little things that kept irking me, and in the end, I found it wasn’t…
My first reaction after reading this book, was to package it back up and return it to the author with a note telling her I can’t, in all fairness, review her book. It isn’t ready for publication yet. However, when I discovered this book is already available and can be purchased for money – your…
