Woven Dreams is third in a series of erotic fantasy romances set in a world resembling Medieval Earth. In each of the first two books, Christina’s Tapestry and Bakra Bride, a modern American woman buys an ancient tapestry depicting a castle and two knights that draws her into sexual dreams with the two men, only…
The first in a new paranormal series, Night Falls Darkly offers promise for readers not thoroughly sick of new paranormal series. If that sounds a bit back-handed, it is. Because the truth is that while this book nicely recreates its late Victorian setting, I would have liked it just as well – probably more, as…
Where There’s Fire is a new romantic suspense offering from Maureen McKade, who is noted for her western romances. I happen to like western romances very much and wish they’d come back into fashion, but since I don’t see that happening any time soon, and I like romantic suspense, I settled down with this book,…
The Lady Flees Her Lord reads rather like a traditional Regency writ large, which is quite appropriate since the heroine is a plus sized woman. I enjoyed the first part of the book and found the hero and heroine to be very likable, but it fell apart at the end when the author tossed in…
Passion and Pleasure in London features a Victorian female Robin Hood whose Merry Men give the new (but good) Sheriff of Nottingham a run for his money, while the evil King John hovers threateningly over all. However, we spend next to no time in London. Just saying. Since Winter Ashburn’s father died, her uncle Baron…
I tend to like stranded-in-the-wilderness stories. Maybe it’s just my inner ten-year-old’s desire to be a survivalist that hasn’t quite disappeared, but I always like seeing the hero and heroine of a romance work to save each other. Cari Michaels worked for what she has, from living on food stamps to a career as vice…
Here’s the good news: This is the second smartly written contemporary I’ve read in the last few weeks. The not so good? The heroine spends too much time bending over backwards to dislike the hero and, in a shocking twist, there’s no sex – and I really mean that – and I definitely felt the…
Last month my husband read my review of a book that I graded D-; his question to me was, “What does it take to actually get an F from you?” I tried to explain to him that as bad as it was, I’ve actually read worse. As I finished Wildwood, I turned to him and…
Is there anything more generic than a generic vampire? The vampire in this one has all the personality and verve of Safeway brand ketchup. And the heroine – his total match in blandness, by the way – has the ability of a CVS brand paper towel to bounce back from varying forms of vampirical adversity….
After reading favorable reviews of Jackie Kessler’s Hotter than Hell, book, I looked forward to reading it because it was supposed to be “something different.” Once I started, I just had to be nosy and peek to the ending, which I instantly regretted because I didn’t want to read it anymore. Though it’s being marketed…
