Knight of Pleasure started out as a promising read; the heroine seemed interesting and a little different, the conflict looked intriguing, and the historical details appeared to be authentic. Unfortunately, the book failed to deliver on its promise. Instead, it descended into Cliché-land. The details remained well-researched, but the behavior of the hero and heroine…
Skin Game is solid. Very solid. But based on many glowing reviews and the intriguing blurb on the back of the book, I expected something a little more intense and a little more captivating. The characters are interesting enough, the love story is believable, but lacking the oomph that would have made the story a…
There are no shades of gray in Julie Garwood’s books of late. The villains twirl virtual mustaches and the good characters are nothing less than saintly. Still, the author remains one of the best storytellers in the business and the one she tells in Sizzle is largely a good one. Lyra Prescott is a breathtakingly…
I’m always on the lookout for new romantic suspense authors. While I love the subgenre, I don’t like gruesome, graphic violence, nor do I like endless series about SEALs and other special ops, which kind limits the number of potential titles for me. I chose to review Jill Sorenson’s Set the Dark on Fire because…
Historicals are my first love and paranormals trail somewhere behind. Usually a combination of the two leaves me cold and disappointed. I’m happy to report that’s not the case with the anthology Highland Beast.
Terri Brisbin has been one of my auto-buy authors for the past several years. She’s written some fantastic books for Harlequin Historicals, and when I saw she had a historical paranormal in the works for Brava, I was curious to see what she would deliver. With A Storm of Passion readers get something of a…
Once Upon A Knight is one of those books I wanted to give up on at first, but ended up enjoying. For the first third of the book, I was completely unimpressed by the hero, but as I gradually got to know the character, he grew on me and I enjoyed the interactions between the…
I love mysteries and I love romance, so when I find an author crafting both well, I definitely sit up and take notice. Though not all of her books have worked for me, Laura Griffin at her best is certainly one of these authors. With Untraceable, she’s on her game as she begins a new…
It would have to be a pretty special situation to leave me, literally, without words. Yet for days after finishing this book, I didn’t even know where to start the review. Yeah. It’s that bad. <a href="http://www.likesbooks.com/banmanpro/a.aspx?ZoneID=4&Task=Click&Mode=HTML&SiteID=1&PageID=33387 ” target=”_blank”> <img src="http://www.likesbooks.com/banmanpro/a.aspx?ZoneID=4&Task=Get&Mode=HTML&SiteID=1&PageID=33387 ” width=”150″ height=”200″ border=”0″ alt=””> Galiana Montehue is out walking in the woods with…
Better Naughty than Nice is one of the better anthologies I’ve read, not because the stories wowed me, but because it was nice to read an anthology where, for the most part, I enjoyed all of the stories instead of just one or two.
