The seasoned Susan Johnson reader (that would be me) and readers new to the author might very well have different reactions to Sexy as Hell. To the vet, there is absolutely nothing new here – the author plows (ha!) the same ground she has in the past right down to the smallest detail. To a…
Her Colorado Man is Remington Steele meets Americana. (For any of you too young to remember it/hear about it in the first place, Remington Steele was a detective series from the 80s in which a female detective created a fictitious male detective as a front for her business. A thief shows up claiming to be…
Tie Me Down is the first book I’ve read by Tracy Wolff, and, despite a few issues, I thought it was an engaging read, so it definitely won’t be my last. Homicide Detective Genevieve Delacroix is on the hunt for the sadistic killer who’s been targeting women in New Orleans’ famous French Quarter. Although the…
There’s nothing like a Christmas-themed romantica to get you in the holiday spirit. Okay, not really. I generally prefer more wholesome holiday stories, but A Year of Living Shamelessly does have a decent romance alongside the sex. I just wish other parts were more smoothly written. Katie Kramer has been in love with Ryder Scott,…
What would you do if tucked inside the invitation to your ten-year high school reunion was a letter you’d written as an 18-year old, describing your hopes and dreams for the future – dreams you’re nowhere close to fulfilling? That’s the premise of Pamela Ford’s Her Best Bet. While not without problems, I found it…
I have a select few books that I like to pull out frequently to reread during the Christmas season. The Best Gift will definitely join their ranks. Though one need not read If Only in My Dreams to follow the plot of this book, it would probably help enrich the experience as both books (written…
Are you sick of Regencies where characters treat servants like their best buddies or where class distinctions are ignored? The Bachelor’s Bargain might be just the tonic you need. Be aware, however, that the heroine’s faith is a strong element in this book. This is, after all, a marriage of convenience story where the heroine…
Sometimes I just want to wring characters’ necks for being so stubborn. This was one of those books. I really liked A Christmas Scandal by Jane Goodger, but if the characters just swallowed their pride and were honest, it would have been significantly shorter. In a previous book, Maggie Pierce met Lord Edward Hollings when…
So I was trolling the Internet the other day, and saw this anthology. Then I looked at the authors and saw that half had written cult classics as yet unread by me. Suzanne Robinson. Elizabeth Elliott. And, boy oh boy, Sharon and Tom Curtis. Which meant I had to buy it, of course. The object…
I always like reading debut novels because sometimes I discover wonderful treasures. Other times, however, I find books that required work they didn’t get before hitting shelves. Sadly, Angela Johnson’s Vow of Seduction is one of the latter. Underneath all the clunky narration, modern-day psychobabble, and info dumps, what we essentially have is the story…
