The idea of best friends becoming more has always appealed to me, but I’ve found very few books that showcase the concept well. I was happy to try Body Language, which combines both an author and an idea that I love. Sigh. The combination didn’t work. Sandy is fast asleep when her best friend drops…
As a life-long sports fan, I enjoy romances featuring sports stars as heroes. While, I haven’t read the rest of the books in the Boys of Summer series, I enjoyed Kate Angell’s Strike Zone as a stand-alone read. Taylor Hannah is leading an extreme skiing expedition when she learns that Bret Stryker is engaged. Three…
Blythe Gifford’s latest historical romance is set in a most unusual period – Ghent at the outbreak of the Hundred Years’ War. That in itself would have drawn my attention, but in addition, Innocence Unveiled proved compelling and interesting, making much of this little-used setting. The historic background is as follows: Edward III of England…
A fast paced plot and zany humor are a couple of good things about Hot Date, but the heroine was so silly, unthinking and zany that she had me grinding my teeth all through the book. A touch of the zany makes a character fun, but Grace Lamb needed a life coach. Grace Lamb grew…
I went on a major glom of Katie Fforde’s books a year ago. While I found the quality of her books to be a bit hit or miss, Practically Perfect is one of my favorites. If you think chick lit is solely made up of heroines obsessed with shopping, this book should disabuse you of…
Superb and Sexy is the third book in Jill Shalvis’ Sky High Air trilogy, featuring three pilots of a luxury charter airline. Unfortunately, the book wasn’t anywhere near sky high, but more along the lines of irritating and frustrating. In a previous book, private pilot Brody West and concierge Maddie Stone finally acted on their…
I picked Fiancé at Her Fingertips to review because it seemed to have a clever plot device. Sadly, while I liked said plot device well enough, I disliked almost everything else about the book. Thanks to her mother’s incessant matchmaking, Debra Daniels has been on a string of awful dates, and she is desperate to…
No doubt most of you have heard of the immensely popular Twilight series, of which Eclipse is the third installment. My mother-in-law insisted that I read her copies and then pass them along to another of her daughters-in-law. As I started talking to more and more people about this series, it seemed that almost all…
Master of Surrender reads like a wannbe Kathleen Woodiwiss novel with overwrought emotions and prose, a feisty, feisty, feisty heroine and a mean-to-her hero. Which is okay, I suppose, if you like that sort of thing. I don’t. Sir Rohan du Luc and his seven friends (each of whom, I assume, will have their own…
Trust Me is the first book in a trilogy featuring the women of The Last Stand, an organization that focuses on helping survivors of violent crimes. The book is fast, exciting, and very suspenseful. While there is a romance in the book, it is rather muted and not a prominent element. Skye Kellerman was once…
