If you’re a fan of paranormals, no doubt you’ve heard about Nalini Singh by now. I’ve been trying to set aside time to check out her Psy-Changeling series for quite a while, so I was thrilled when I was able to get the first book in her Guild Hunter series for review. Now I can…
When I read the cover blurb for Suspect Lover, it sounded like a fascinating premise. Heroine marries hero after a whirlwind courtship. Things look idyllic – until hero’s business partner dies and hero is the key suspect. The question then becomes, how well did our heroine know her husband anyway? Unfortunately, after a few chapters…
Reviewing Susan Johnson has become something of a tradition for me. Can I say that I’m glad that I’m still sticking around for the party? This one is pretty darn good – on the level of say, Pure Sin, if not the classic Braddock-Blacks. So, what the heck am I talking about? For those new…
Full disclosure time: Mistress Under Contract is the first Harlequin Presents I have ever read and, if not reading it for review, I would never have picked up the book. The title makes me cringe, which is a real shame since I enjoyed this story of opposites falling in love, with its two likeable characters…
If I hadn’t already read several of LuAnn McLane’s books, I think the title and back cover blurb of Redneck Cinderella would have turned me away. But McLane is adept at making her characters feel Southern, without feeling stereotyped. Yes, the heroine is a redneck — she speaks in slang, washes her truck in a…
When a debut book begins with a first sentence as finely crafted as this one, you get hopeful: “Nothing in Anthony’s upbringing or experience had taught him the proper etiquette for taking delivery of a woman won in a card game.” But, following this cracking start, it’s all downhill after that. Sadly, an intriguing prologue…
Fortune and Fate is the fifth book in Sharon Shinn’s Twelve Houses series and picks up several years after the war that divided the country of Gillengaria in Reader and Raelynx. Wen is a King’s Rider in self-exile. When war erupted and King Baryn died while she, sworn to protect him unto her death, survived,…
Ohhh – those evil stepmothers of romance land. They are always looking for ways to punish, ruin, or abuse their stepdaughters, who by the way, everyone else loves but they, without reason, hate. I could most definitely do without this premise in my romance reading, but I guess it can provide the hero with an…
When I was in middle and high school, I read plenty of YA books. In fact, I still do. One thing I appreciate now is that there seem to be more heroines out there who aren’t perfect – and who really are not trying to be. The unforgettable narrator of Going Too Far is one…
Love with the Perfect Scoundrel began well and I settled down to what I thought would be an enjoyable read. However the book had just about the saggiest middle I have seen in some time and I got very bored with it. Grace Sheffey, Countess of Sheffield, is an object of gossip for the ton….
