As far as road romances go, this isn’t a bad one, but it simply stretched the boundaries of credulity to accept that, within a twelve hour period, two people could meet under harrowing circumstances, discover true love that could last through the ages, and live happily ever after. Especially when the heroine has been so…
Truth to tell, I’ve only been reading Romance for about eighteen months, so what’s old hat to some is probably new stuff to me. If you’re a longtime Medieval Romancer, you’ve probably read variations on the William the Conqueror theme countless times; if you’re new to medievals, as I am, this subject is still pretty…
Shadow of the Wolf is a mystical tale of werewolves and Indians, legends and lore, with a love story woven in as well. I wouldn’t classify this as a Romance because the focus is not on the relationship between the hero and heroine, so, if you’re looking for a story with a strong romantic center,…
Jayne Ann Krentz has been a favorite author of mine for years, both as Jayne, and as her historical alter ego, Amanda Quick. I love her heroes . They like to think they’re alpha but the heroines always know they’re putty in their dainty little hands. Affair wasn’t necessarily disappointing because an Amanda Quick book…
We expect a lot of JAK. As a talented writer, she is expected to maintain a certain standard by her devoted fans, and I suppose we tend to be a bit critical when we don’t think she is writing her best. Sharp Edges is not a book that is up to JAK’s best, at least…
Have aliens abducted Karen Robards and left a changeling in her place? Surely the person who wrote this awful mess is not the Karen Robards who wrote Walking After Midnight, One Summer, and Heartbreaker. That Karen Robards wrote books with strong heroes and heroines and a good mix of action and romance. This book has…
Suzanne Brockmann is a versatile writer. The Kissing Game is a sweet romantic comedy. Time Enough for Love is a time-travel romance and the three books in her Tall, Dark and Dangerous mini-series (Prince Joe, Forever Blue, and Frisco’s Kid) are romantic adventure stories featuring my favorite group of mucho macho Navy SEALS, the guys…
I read this book a few days ago, and have been struggling with how I felt about it ever since. Did I like it? Did I hate it? I wavered and wiggled and wrote a review that waffled as well. So here’s how I outsmarted my own subconscious. I asked myself, if you were my…
Seven. What makes an ordinary number like seven so, well, magical? The seventh son of a seventh son was enchanted. Seven brothers wed seven brides. Seven magnificent men fought for the right. And, a lost princess was given sanctuary by seven diminutive miners. Bonded in some way – often as brothers – seven stalwart males…
Since the Loveswept line seems doomed, I hope another publisher snaps up Catherine Mulvany fast. She is too good to disappear. I love reading a writer’s first book and knowing that I’ve found someone whose new books I will look for. Upon a Midnight Clear is Catherine Mulvany’s debut and if she keeps on writing…
