Truly, Madly by Heather Webber is the first chick-lit series I’ve gotten excited about in a long time. I had a hard time putting this one down, and already look forward to the next book. Lucy Valentine’s family all has the same gift: they can read auras, and thus bring perfectly matched couples together. However,…
Dark Side of Dawn was very enjoyable; much more fun to read than I expected. The heroine is simply impossible to dislike, pop-culture obsession and all. Dawn Riley is a Nightmare, guardian of the barrier between the Dreaming and the real world. She was assigned this night job because she is the half-human daughter of…
Sometimes I like noble spies and sometimes I don’t. Now, before you roll your eyes at the spy cliché, I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed Elizabeth Boyle’s plot twists and turns in How I Met My Countess. Though the story had some minor problems, I finished it in a day because I was hooked…
In Remember Me a supermodel returns home to save the family horse farm and take over the care of her sullen, sulky half-sister. It’s an enjoyable, angsty read that begins The Rosewood Trilogy. In the world of horses, RJ Radcliffe is royalty. His farm, Rosewood, is known for its history, its elegance, and the superb…
With this latest installment in the Pink Carnation series, Lauren Willig takes us beyond the front lines of the Napoleonic Wars, off to British India.

Sworn to Silence is the first book of the Kate Burkholder series about a formerly Amish chief of police who is charged with maintaining the safety of both the Amish and the English citizens in her small Ohio town, Painters Mill. I quite enjoyed it and look forward to the next in the series, coming…
Sandra Hill may have changed publishers, but one thing certainly hasn’t altered: When you open a book by the author, you know exactly what you’re going to get. Her books are broad, ribald jokes. And completely and totally over the top in every way possible. This one sticks entirely to the author’s formula – which…
Ever since I read What a Scoundrel Wants, I’ve been wanting to see what happened to the heroine’s horrid sister, Ada. In Scoundrel’s Kiss, Ada, our villain, shows a more nuanced side and gets a story of her own that features a fantastic web of plot and some of the morally intriguing characters I’m starting…
Lately I’ve been on a streak of discovering good romantic suspense reads, and Waking the Dead is the most recent. Although it’s not the first title in Ms. Brant’s Mindhunters series, Waking the Dead easily stands alone – which I can testify to, as it’s the only one of the series I’ve read. It certainly…
While Rachel Bailey’s debut romance has some interesting aspects, overall, it didn’t work for me. Lily Grayson and Damon Blakely were together for six months when Lily ended their relationship because she felt Damon was emotionally unreliable. He was never there for her when she needed him; his work always came first. They haven’t seen…
