Tasting Fear is divided into three stories, connected by the larger plot. Nancy, Nell and Vivi are the adopted daughters of Lucia D’Onofrio. They each came from broken homes as teenagers. One day they receive the horrible news that their foster mother’s home has been robbed and Lucia has died of an apparent heart attack….
I’ve heard good things about Kimani Romance, but Pamela Yaye’s Games of the Heart was the second book by them that I’ve reviewed — and the second D. I know the publisher has a number of good writers and good books; I just haven’t managed to find them yet because this book certainly wasn’t a…
The Huntress anthology contains a mix of stories that center around characters that are, you guessed it, some kind of hunter. While none of the stories were fantastic, most were enjoyable, with only one that I didn’t care for, so I’d recommend this collection to lovers of paranormals.
The action and adventure of Mystic Warrior take place during the French Revolution and are set in France, England, and the mythical island of Aelynn. The plot revolves around the struggle of a man to take control of his potential and the woman who enables him to do so. As exciting as all this could…
The Perfect Couple is romantic suspense – heavy on the suspense. The villains of the piece are a husband and wife who lure teens to their home where they torture and kill them. I am not a total wuss (as my boss describes herself) when it comes to violence in books, but this book seriously…
I’m late to the Lisa Marie Rice party, but it seems as if I’ve missed a big one. Still, while I enjoyed Dangerous Passion very much, doing so required a suspension of disbelief and acceptance of the fact that the author is out to tell a completely over-the-top fairy tale. And it is over the…
At her best, Sophie Kinsella tells stories featuring characters that we can relate to, even as they get themselves into hilarious, over-the-top predicaments that defy belief. Underneath all the antics, her heroines are sweet (if somewhat ditzy) people who just need to find their way. We know that things will work out in the end…
When I want virtuosity, I’ll go to authors who take risks but don’t always succeed. When I want consistency, I’ll go to authors like Lorraine Heath. Frannie Darling was raised on the streets of London along with quartet of boys. As members of Feagan’s pickpocketing street gang, they knew deprivation and hunger, but Feagan was…
So I was a female nerd during my twenties: watching every Star Trek: The Next Generation episode, meeting for role playing evenings (and nights) sometimes several times a week, and spending one night per week playing darts with my mates, always in the same pub. As you can imagine, I could relate very well to…
I started reading Pirate in My Arms with high expectations. It was my first Danelle Harmon, and based on the gushing reviews I’ve read for her other books, I hoped this book would be a keeper. Unfortunately, not so. Maria Hallett is a gentle, sheltered girl living in the Puritan town of Cape Cod. She…
