Deirdre Martin’s sequel to Fair Play is delightfully funny and entertaining. Anthony Dante, Ant to his loved ones, is part owner and head chef of Dante’s, the place to go for sumptuous Italian food. When we first meet Ant, he is at the cemetery visiting the grave of his late wife Angela, a police officer…
Play Dirty isn’t really a romance novel – I’d call it a suspense novel with romantic elements. The suspense plot is very exciting and I found myself turning the pages faster and faster as the book progressed. However, the romantic element of the story definitely takes second place and at the end of the book…
Though I enjoyed Confessions at Midnight, I felt as though I missed something along the way since I want to experience the characters falling in love, not just experience the attraction. Carolyn Turner, Viscountess Wingate and a widow of three years, has finally decided to reenter Society after the devastating loss of her husband, who…
To be fair (even though I hate to admit this), I’ve never read a Harlequin series romance before so I really didn’t know what to expect. All Night With the Boss is Natalie Anderson’s first book, and I must say I think she holds promise. Lissa Coleman is a temp employee from New Zealand working…
Bland. That about sums up my overall impression of Harstairs House. There was nothing offensive about it, but there was nothing exciting either. Susannah Thorpe toils away as governess to two nasty little boys, when suddenly her life is changed by a visit from a lawyer. She has inherited Harstairs House in Cornwall, along with…
I have such fond memories of reading The Flame and the Flower, The Wolf and the Dove, and Ashes in the Wind that years after reading them, I can still recall several scenes vividly. That is why I really wanted to like Everlasting by Kathleen Woodiwiss before I even read it. I wanted to give…
Christmas anthologies are a huge comfort read for me. I actually picked up Christmas Wedding Belles without even reading the back. I figured it had Christmas and a Miranda Jarrett story; what’s not to love? It turns out that all the stories are somehow connected with “high seas adventure.” Sure enough, there’s a boat on…
Christmas anthologies are a romance tradition, and there are some wonderful ones out there. Not this one. I’m Your Santa is the equivalent of the proverbial lump of coal in the stocking.
Taken by the Night is the third book in a paranormal historical series featuring warriors who became vampires after drinking from a cursed chalice six hundred years ago. Smith’s writing style is solid throughout, but I couldn’t help thinking that I would have liked the book better as a straight historical. Saint is in London…
In recent years innovative romance author Theresa Weir has turned to writing straight suspense under the name Anne Frasier. As in her romances, her suspense plots mix familiar murder mystery elements with dark and unique touches. In Garden of Darkness, Frasier returns to the haunted town of Tuonela, Wisconsin for another round of disturbingly well-written…
