If you’re tired of contemporary romances in which the heroine returns to her small hometown and finds love, this isn’t the book for you. While not perfect, Smart Girls Think Twice, with its smart girl heroine and bad boy hero, was a generally fun read for me. Boston sociologist Emma Riley is back home in…
Jayne Ann Krentz has been a comfort read for me for years. While I’ve never hated any of her books, I haven’t enjoyed some of her more recent efforts as much as earlier books. I am happy to report that Running Hot, featuring a fantastic hero and heroine, is one of my favorite Krentz books…
Kiss of a Dark Moon is the second book of The Moon Chasers series. Kit March is a lycan huntress, but since the national organization of lycan hunters doesn’t allow women, she is also considered a rogue hunter. The European group of hunters sends Rafe Santiago to terminate Kit, but there is much more to…
At Close Range is another in Tara Taylor Quinn’s series about The Ivory Nation, a powerful, secretive white supremicist church with members and friends in very high places in Arizona. It was all right, I suppose, but I guessed the identity of the secret villain right off the bat, and the hero and heroine weren’t…
When I think about it, the title of Alison Kent’s new book is surprisingly accurate, on several levels. Maximum Exposure may be short and catchy, but it also has relevance to the plot. Unfortunately, the book itself wasn’t nearly as good as the title. Olivia Hammond is not just the owner of a clothing shop….
The setup of Kat Martin’s Heart series already made my eyes roll: A Viking civilization on an island north of the Orkneys was cut-off for several centuries, but somehow some of them wound up in Victorian London, full-blooded warriors and all. Heart of Courage, the third volume, tells the story of Thor Draugr, the younger…
I’m generally not a huge fan of erotic romance, but Wicked Burn is a page turner with smokin’ hot love scenes and an interesting plot revolving around two wounded characters. However, I must state for the record that I do not believe incredible sex heals all wounds. Niall Chandler is divorcing her husband as a…
Has this happened to you? Rationally, you know all the reasons why you should dislike a novel, or at least consider it no more than average. Yet you find it a gripping read, root for the characters, and decide to order the other volumes in the series, minor and not so minor flaws notwithstanding. This…
Lone Star Woman is a slow-paced contemporary romance set in western Texas. In fact, the beginning was so slow, I wasn’t convinced the hero and heroine would ever get together. It picked up in the middle, but had such an abrupt ending, that overall, it didn’t work for me. Jude Strayhorn is the daughter of…
Jacquie D’Alessandro’s last two books trod that precarious line between a B- and a C+ for me. Sadly, Seduced at Midnight crossed over that line. While there were a couple of things I was willing to overlook in the previous books in this series, there are just too many problems – among the admittedly good…
