As a fan of Jayne Ann Krentz in her incarnation as historical romance author Amanda Quick, I wasn’t sure what to expect from her incarnation as futuristic author Jayne Castle. While I think any author who can invent an entirely new world that includes psychic powers and metaphysical constructs gets points for creativity, too much…
I raced through the first third of this book on a tear, totally engrossed in the tale Kim Cates was telling, thinking to myself, “Goody! This one is going to be as good as Stealing Heaven!” Then I came to a critical scene. On one hand I applauded the author for handling it in a…
With Tempting Kate, author Deborah Simmons has proven that she is a multiple personality author, capable of writing in more different styles than any other romance author this reviewer has read, In The Vicar’s Daughter, she wrote frothily, funnily, and sexily. In Taming the Wolf, she wrote dark, dank, and moody. In The Devil Earl…
Anne Stuart’s Prince of Danger is so well written that it took me awhile to determine why I didn’t enjoy it as much as I could have. This author is an expert story-teller and it is easy to become caught up in her mastery. In fact, I whipped through the first half of this book…
After my glowing review of Kat Martin’s last release, Innocence Undone, I received an email from a reader who indicated I should be careful about glomming this author. I wish I had paid more heed to the warning that Martin’s writing tends to be uneven before jumping into Nothing But Velvet with such excitement. A…
One White Rose is cute. I don’t mean that at all derogatorily, but that’s the best word I can think of to sum up this book. Like One Pink Rose, it’s 150 pages, and, like One Pink Rose, it follows up For the Roses. Later this summer we can expect another short book, One Red…
This book is vile. That, in a nutshell, is my review. For those whom those four words are not sufficient, I’ll expand my comments. Dream Lover is a nightmare, not a dream. This book opens with an oh-so-clever double entendre of a young woman riding a porpoise as though she were having sex with a…
I reviewed Lynna Banning’s debut romance, Western Rose, last year. I enjoyed it and found the author was able to interest me in a sub-genre that generally is not my forte, the Western. I also enjoyed the social issues that Ms. Banning was able to weave throughout that book without seeming at all preachy. Ms….
Reading Lyon’s Gift reminded me of the old Certs commercial – you know the one, “Certs is two, two, two mints in one”. This book is really two books in one. The one I preferred was the hilarious romp about a beautiful Highlands girl, the lamb she pretended was her grandminnie, and the Englishman who…
Just Once tells the tale of Jemma O’Hurley, who switches identities on a rainy New Orleans night rather than enter into an arranged marriage with a man she’s never met. Wanting desperately to experience something of life, she begins her adventure by running down outdoorsman Hunter Boone, and convinces him to take her up river,…
