Knight Errant is the sixth and latest in Marilyn Pappano’s series Southern Knights. The books are set in New Orleans in a decaying neighborhood called Serenity Street. The characters in the Southern Knights books all have a common cause. They are fighting a crime boss named Jimmy Falcone. You don’t have to have read the…
Ever picked up a book you just could not get into? No matter how hard you tried, no matter how many efforts you made, it just never happened? Well, this is the problem I had with Til There Was You. If I hadn’t made the personal commitment to read this book in order to review…

I have read, and loved, almost everything Jo Goodman has written. As far as I’m concerned, My Steadfast Heart is her best yet. The handsome Thorne brothers, Colin, Decker, and baby Greydon, are orphaned one dark night when the carriage in which their family is traveling is set upon by thieves. Their parents are murdered….
I wanted to like Texas Lucky by Maggie James. The cover of the book alone is sublime. Also, it sounded like my kind of story. Cowboy romances are among my favorites, and this one seemed to fit the bill. Set in the Southwest and Texas sometime vaguely after the Civil War, it is about a…

She’s gone from her father’s house to her husband’s house, and likes having her own house. She agrees to have Gregory Michael Mayfield III as a…
Lisa Ann Verge is known for her historical romances and her historical fantasy romances; Loving Wild is her first foray into the world of contemporary and series romance. When I’m looking for a good road romance, I know I can turn to Lisa and find one. Loving Wild is a nice evening’s read. Dylan MacCabe…
Elizabeth Lowell books are one of my guilty pleasures. I know when I get one of her older novels, I am in for some serious sensuousness. Characters?
