I Can See You is my first experience with Karen Rose. It won’t be my last. The book introduces a new series featuring the Hat Squad, Minneapolis homicide detectives who are ceremoniously presented with a fedora upon completion of their first successful case. The author kicks things off with the story of recovering alcoholic Noah…
Hmmmm…I really have to admit that Reynold de Burgh: the Dark Knight is a tough book to grade. On a purely empirical level, this just isn’t high art (and I’m not comparing it to Dostoevsky or anything; I mean in comparison to other romance novels). It had some conventions that got on my nerves –…
There’s something very sad about D reads. They’re sandwiched between the irredeemable Fs and mediocre-but-somewhat-redeemable Cs. But the Ds have almost nothing to recommend, except that glimmer or two that could have been something. Another Dawn is the sequel to Sunset Embrace (which I’ve never read) and features that couple’s (Ross and Lydia) daughter, Banner…
I’ve been a fan of St. Claire’s Bullet Catchers series for a few years now simply because I always have so much fun reading them. Hunt Her Down was no exception, despite a few issues I had with the plotting. At the age of 18 Magdalena (Maggie) Varcek was a drug dealer’s girlfriend, as well…
I always enjoy Laura Lee Guhrke’s books and With Seduction in Mind is no exception. The characters were a delight to meet – witty, intelligent and well matched. The story had a bit of a silly misunderstanding at the end, but for the most part I had a wonderful time reading this one. Years ago,…
Pardon the pun, but I usually find demon romances hotter than hell and Cynthia Eden’s Midnight’s Master is no exception. It combines the right amount of steamy chemistry with just enough suspense to make it well worth a trip to the bookstore. Holly Storm, an up and coming reporter in Atlanta, knows that there’s another…
Show No Fear is the latest in a series featuring a team of Navy SEALs. This particular installment is set primarily in Colombia, where the hero and heroine pose as UN operatives/hostage negotiators. It had its moments, but on the whole was mostly an average read. Lucy Donovan dated Gus Atwater when they were in…
With the demise of the traditional regency lines at Signet and Zebra/Kensington, it is smaller publishing houses that offer most of the trads coming out at present. I was very interested therefore to review Mr. Malcolm’s List, subtitled A Farce of Historic Proportions, by Suzanne Allain. I found it a pleasant read overall, but too…
Sandra Hill’s Viking books have been guilty pleasures of mine for years. I find her Cajun books to be more variable, and the latest, So Into You, didn’t work for me at all. Grace O’Brien has quite the background. A promiscuous teenager, she later became a nun, then a world-class poker player, and a treasure…
The second in a series featuring a knit shop owner and sorcerer-in-training has an interesting premise, but Laced with Magicleft me confused and disappointed. It is Chloe Hobbs’ destiny to maintain a protective charm over Sugar Maple, Vermont, a town filled with vampires, werewolves, trolls, ghosts, and other magical characters. Chloe, the daughter of a…
