This second generation of Virgin River is really a hit or miss. Unlike the triple threat that started the series, the connection isn’t hitting home with the last three. Paradise Valley is merely nice with a dash of disappointment. No one had to hold me down to finish – in fact I was gunning through…
Coming on Strong is the first book in a two-book connected series, with the second book, Going Down Hard, coming out in May. It’s an enjoyable Second Chance at Love story featuring two characters with some smokin’-hot chemistry. Belle Forsham is a highly respected event planner, and the daughter of a wealthy hotel magnate. Six…
Aldwin Treynarde is a man in need of redemption. Disowned by his family and the center of more than one scandal, Aldwin is on a quest to retrieve a stolen ruby pendant for his lord. Ultimately he wants more than commendation for a job well done upon delivery of the pendant. To Aldwin, the honor…
Grave Sins follows Jenna Maclaine’s debut novel as the second book in her Cin Craven series. Cin is known as the Red Witch of the Righteous, which is a group of vampires who meet out justice in their world when it’s necessary. This time they must investigate the Queen of the Western Lands to determine…
The Decadent Duke by Virginia Henley fails to quite an amazing degree. In its conception, it is actually quite an ambitious and potentially interesting project. Instead of making up the umpteenth Duke of Ravenhawk, his brother Lord Devlin Hunter and the beauteous Lady Samantha de Vere, desired by both, Virginia Henley chose to write about…
Flashpoint is the first book in a connected miniseries about firefighters in a Southern California town. It’s a fun, sexy read with enjoyable characters and an interesting mystery subplot. It’s my first book by this author, but I’ll definitely be checking out her backlist. Zach Thomas was orphaned at age 10 when his parents were…
The title of Nicole Jordan’s newest book, To Romance a Charming Rogue, is a rather forgettable arrangement of all of the latest historical romance title buzz-words. Not bad, just generic. Unfortunately, the book itself is more or less the same. Lady Eleanor Pierce is dismayed when her blooming courtship with an Italian prince is disrupted…
I don’t know why I don’t read Jo Beverley’s books more often; I always like them. After reading The Secret Wedding, I am determined to read fewer lame Harlequin Presents books this year, and more Jo Beverley. This particular book is a real mixture of plot elements. Part Big Secret, part Road Romance, part Misunderstanding….
I decided to read My Man Michael because the recent controversy made me curious. The idea of mixed martial arts fighters as heroes still strikes me as a cool idea. However, while I like futuristics, in this case, the futuristic element didn’t work for me. I’m also annoyed to find yet another futuristic with a…
I’m always eager to read romances in unusual settings, so Catherine Mann’s latest military romance, Defender, set entirely in Turkey, appealed to me. While I found most of the characters interesting, there are too many separate threads to give it a hearty recommendation. Captain Jimmy Gage is a pilot for a dark ops squadron in…
