Although this book revolves around a central romance, the tone of the book felt much more like an epic novel to me. This is the first novel in a series concerning the age old confrontation between good and evil, which always involves an intricate story line. Lord of the Fading Lands is no exception, and…
As I began my first vampire/werewolf romance, I was a little skeptical. However, I was pleasantly surprised by the setting, plot, and characters Susan Krinard creates in Chasing Midnight. Allie Chase was the belle of Long Island society until she was stricken with a debilitating illness that left her wasting away and bedridden. Abandoned by…
An unopened book is a promise of a pleasurable experience, especially when it features elements that usually appeal to me. Historical setting, check. Time travel, check. But then I opened this book and found a plot that quickly degenerated into a murky, muddled mess and mysterious plot details that remain that way for far too…
I am a huge Brenda Joyce fan. So I was more than happy to review her latest novel, Dark Rival, the second installment in her Masters of Time series. Unfortunately, this book did not live up to her previous one. Master Black Royce is sent from his world in the year 1430 to New York…
Eloise Kelly is still digging up information on nineteenth-century spies and swooning over Colin Selwick in The Deception of the Emerald Ring, third in Lauren Willig’s Pink Carnation series. While investigating the Pink Carnation’s involvement in the quashing of the Irish rebellion of 1803, Ellie comes across another story of a couple who furthered England’s…
Despite an intriguing setting and a unique plot, The Harlot’s Daughter lacked one element that I find essential to any romance – romance. I s-o-o-o-o long for an intriguing Medieval and, while Gifford’s book is interesting, it fell short of that aspiration. Lady Joan of Weston, otherwise known as Solay, is the daughter of the…
Witch In the House is the promising beginning of a series about three best friends whose husbands mysteriously disappeared after an ice storm six years earlier. Though the circumstances that put the hero and heroine together are quite sad, this is a story in which I truly believe in the couple’s HEA, which, I might…
Cindi Meyers’ Marriage on Her Mind is a small-town romance, the type some people love and others, well, don’t. Aside from the protagonists, a host of minor characters and fellow townspeople provide comic relief. Casey Jernigan drove herself from Chicago to a small Colorado town with little more than a potted plant and a wedding…
The Return of the Prodigal is the sixth book in Kasey Michaels’ Romney March series. I have not read any of the previous books, but I will be reading the next one. Rian Becket was gravely injured at Waterloo, losing his left hand and forearm. In the four months since he has been recuperating at…
Christie Ridgway’s Not Another New Year’s is one of those novels that starts off with too many stereotypes and then gets better. I had very low expectations after reading the first chapter, but found myself agreeably surprised about some interesting developments later – not that all the stereotypes disappear, but still. In addition, Christie Ridgway’s…
