A Passion For Him is the sequel to Passion for the Game. I haven’t read the first book in this series, but after reading this installment, I’ll be sure to pick it up. Amelia Benbridge is courting a longtime friend, the Earl of Ware, and one of London’s most eligible bachelors. She knows that it…
One of the more disappointing reading experiences must be that in which one gets drawn into the promising opening of a book, only to find the quality of the story drops off rapidly. Worse still is the situation in which one is assigned to review the aforesaid book and, therefore, must stick with it until…
I bought one of Sands’ Argeneau books from Borders right before I received her latest to review. I felt a little bold spending money on an author I hadn’t yet read – I usually use gift certificates or used book credit to test the waters. So naturally, I really disliked Vampires Are Forever. On the…
Sometimes when I’m reading a book I don’t like very much, I amuse myself by thinking of a new title for it – one more suited to its contents. In the case of The Wayward Debutante, it was a simple matter of adding a few words; I started thinking of it as “The Wayward Debutante…and…
Jayne Ann Krentz has been a comfort read author for me for years. I’ve re-read some of her books so many times that they are falling apart. Part of what’s comforting for me is knowing what to expect. In particular, I can count on witty dialogue and intelligent heroes and heroines. While these are present…
Shadows of the Night starts out as one kind of book and ends as something far different. Unfortunately, the result is an unhappy hybrid. The first third of the book is promising. The author takes a couple we’ve all met before – the perfect aristocrat undertaking a cold-blooded marriage with a well-bred young society maiden…
Like a moth to a flame, I couldn’t resist the lure of another time travel romance set in Scotland. Maybe I’m looking for the Holy Grail of Romanceland (read: Diana Gabaldon writing under a pen name to fill time between Outlander novels). Or maybe I’m just a glutton for punishment. I wouldn’t call Master of…
Romance novels generally feature the courtship and end with a promise of Happily Ever After. Sleeping with Ward Cleaver begins 15 years after the happily ever after, and the events in it bear no resemblance to the usual romance novel epilogue. It’s wry, funny, and ultimately very romantic, but the author’s use of first person…
There are two reviews of this book Shifter is an anthology of stories featuring shape-shifting heroes. All of the stories are on the hot side and one of them is the best short story I’ve read for quite a while.
Well, it doesn’t suck. Let’s call this one yet another in the series of Susan Johnson-Lite historicals featuring a jaded and daring aristocrat infamous for his legendary sexual escapades (not to even mention his girth) and an experienced woman only slightly less jaded and experienced. As in the many previously published Johnson-Lites, they come together…
