  • Gordath Wood

    Gordath Wood is a hard book to catagorize. While not a romance, it has romantic elements, while also featuring elements of fantasy, horse stories, and all manner of adventure. Though the back cover copy is extremely misleading, the story follows the adventures of an ensemble cast of characters as they deal with the mysterious portal…

  • A Historical Christmas Present

    Occasionally, I can’t concentrate on a full-length romance novel, and that’s when I grab an anthology. In addition, they are a great place for testing unknown authors and have introduced me to several authors whose works I now collect. Autumn always brings an flood of anthologies with a Christmas theme, and the first that caught…

  • Crossfire

    Crossfire is part of JoAnn Ross’s High Risk series, but all the books in the series stand alone.

  • I Shall Not Want

    In the past eight weeks or so I have devoured all six of Julia Spencer-Fleming’s Rev. Clare Fergusson/Russ Van Alstyne mysteries. I was hooked from the very first book by the chemistry between the pair as well as the author’s strong writing and solid plotting. I Shall Not Want is the most recent look into…

  • A Rather Curious Engagement

    A Rather Curious Engagement picks up where A Rather Lovely Inheritance left off by following the further adventures of Penny and Jeremy, with stops in the French Riviera, London, Lake Como, and Corsica. While I didn’t enjoy this quite as much as the first book, I found it to be an enjoyable read in a…
