I have a few rules for time-travel romances. The most important is that at the end the book the hero and heroine choose to live in the past or the present. None of this “my soul will find yours” nonsense for me. I want the HEA. I knew that within a few chapters of Tumbling…
I was going to give Popp’s latest a somewhat higher grade until I went back to re-read a bit to refresh my memory. Every frustrated arghh! returned tenfold. A heroine who is supposed to be kick-ass but who’s nothing but a bratty, immature, frequently foolish wannabe, one more noble vampire hero who nobly doesn’t drink…
I enjoy stories about couples who have a second chance at love. Although I initially had some doubts about the main characters in Lorie Wilde’s Once Smitten, Twice Shy, I quickly grew to like them, and to root for them to have their happily ever after. This is the second in Wilde’s Wedding Bell series….
To Catch a Highlander is essentially a tale about a man who gambles away the deed to his home, his spunky daughter who schemes to get it back, and the ruthless but attractive man who possesses the deed, and can literally cause storms when he’s angry. Unfortunately, none of these people are very sympathetic or…
I selected Extremely Hot to review because of its heroine: a radio show host who warns women away from bad boys, telling them to hold onto their money and emotions and take care of themselves. This seemed like very good advice, and since radio show hosts are often such polarizing figures in real life, I…
There is only so much an author can do in a hundred pages. With brevity in mind, I approached both stories with the knowledge that I would be left wanting more. I was pleasantly surprised. I found both novellas quite pleasing. This was a good read for someone with a very hectic holiday season, and…
My reading year has definitely gotten off to a good start. I’ve read satisfying historicals and now I get to review the best paranormal I’ve come across in ages. In Betrayed, Jamie Leigh Hansen combines intense romance with vivid and unusual (that’s right, no vampires or shapeshifters!) world-building to create a book that makes quite…
Trust me, I am not the grammar or style police. I can’t even remotely pretend to be. However, as I read Nicola Marsh’s Purchased for Pleasure, I was struck by an insatiable, irrational urge to add commas everywhere. Obviously, this story didn’t quite work for me. It wasn’t bad…I was simply distracted by the lack…
Lady of Milkweed Manor is a debut book for new author Julie Klassen. It’s a sweet story and a promising start. A vicar’s daughter from a small English town, Charlotte Lamb is kicked out of her house and cut off from her family when she commits the ultimate societal sin: Becoming pregnant without being married….
Nash’s Druids of Avalon series is neatly ticking off the trappings of the Arthurian legend. The first book – The Grail King – dealt with the Holy Grail, of course, while Deep Magic explores the creation of the sword Exchalybur and how it wound up in that lake anyway. While this new twist on the…
