Unlawful Contact is part of a series, but it stands alone as a complete story. The plot is a complex, fast moving one that, in the hands of an unskilled writer, could have been totally unbelievable, but Pamela Clare sets up the situation and characters so well that it all makes perfect sense. Sophie Alton…
On board a packet ship returning to England from a visit to Ireland, Adam Vickery, the Marquess of Tannerton, observes a woman who is prisoner to a Bow Street Runner. The ship founders, and the Runner callously takes the last place in the boat, leaving the woman to die. Tanner has guilt issues; he feels…
As a warning to those who abhor shopworn plots, this story has a Big Mis and a (sort of) secret baby. Those who are okay with these plot devices, however, may still find The Bride’s Baby to be a less than stellar story. Sylvie Smith is an event organizer in charge of billionaire Tom McFarlane’s…
The final installment in Kimberly Logan’s series featuring the Daventry sisters, Seduced by Sin is just plain dull and somewhat annoying. To make matters worse, I didn’t like either of the main characters. On the bright side, however, I did like the cover. Lady Aimee Daventry was the only witness to her mother’s murder, and,…
The Beast In Him is Shelly Laurenston’s loose sequel to her earlier book, The Mane Event. You do not have to read the first book to enjoy this one, but it does help to get to know the characters. Bobby Ray “Smitty” Smith is a wolf shifter, a retired Navy SEAL now in business with…
This is the first romance I’ve read told completely from the hero’s POV (and the terms “romance” and “hero” really don’t fit here). For first person POV to work, I have to like the character. In this case, not only did I not like the hero, I hated him. He’s an immature and immoral womanizer….
In general, I’m not a big chick lit fan. I prefer straight romance, as I often find that chick lit books are just too fluffy or me (though many people would probably find that statement somewhat comical). However, No Good Girls was a very enjoyable book with a very sympathetic heroine. Geri O’Brien, who narrates…
I love mysteries, so imagine my excitement at reading a mystery set in Paris during Fashion Week. As a travel and Project Runway fan, could it get any better? I hope so, because Gemma Halliday’s Alibi in High Heels is almost enough to turn me off from both the TV show and any thoughts of…
Writing a good action story poses enough difficulty for a writer, but add in complex world-building and a story tackling deep questions such as the nature of souls and what it means to have the capacity to love and the result is Netherwood. Featuring strong and intelligent characters on the faraway planet of Fresh Havens…
72 Hours is a thriller that kept me on the edge of my seat wondering if the hero and heroine would actually be alive at the end of the book. The book begins with Parker McCall, an agent for a covert U.S. anti-terrorist agency, racing for his life through the streets of Paris. Just as…
