There is a new romantic suspense author in town. Laura Griffin’s debut novel, One Last Breath, is a strong blend of suspense and romance. The intelligent writing is full of promise. If this first book is any indication, we should see some good things from this author. Feenie Malone meets Officer Marco Juarez the day…
Flynn Daly is the oh so adorably inept heroine of Crazy In Love. She is so silly and immature, I’m surprised she knows how to breathe. However, the hero Jake Tucker is a wonderfully nice guy and deserves a better match than Little Miss Doofus. Mr. Daly is a hard working real estate tycoon. His…
Sex With a Stranger reminded me of a Blaze series romance, except it was way more expensive. The good girl heroine is tired of being good so she goes to Vegas where she meets a hot and sexy guy who is ready to help her get in touch with her bad self. Throw in a…
The plot of this story intrigued me: An arranged marriage, seduction, a scandalous past. It sounded fantastic. But the truth here is that this book is structured poorly and lacks a smoothness that might make it a pleasurable read. Though she is now a countess, Lady Sophia Dalby was once the most infamous courtesan in…
This is the first book I have read by Barbara Metzger. To be honest, this is not usually the type book I would choose to read. Historical romance has never been my cup of tea, but I found Truly Yours to be better than most. The story takes place in Regency London; Amanda Carville has…
You would think that a book entitled Father Material would be about the attributes that make a man a good father, rather than his material assets. That’s not the case in this book, unfortunately. Don’t get me wrong – steady employment with benefits is always helpful, but it isn’t the only advantage a man offers….
Enslaved is a loose sequel to Vanquished, Hope Tarr’s excellent historical romance from last year. While not as good as its predecessor, this is still an engrossing read. Gavin Carmichael, Patrick O’Rourke, Harry Stone, and Daisy Lake all live in the Roxbury House Orphanage. Roxbury House is actually a fairly pleasant place, but all four…
Have you read many books about bigamy? I have never encountered one and Missing immediately pulled me into its plot about two families coming to terms with one man’s enormous lie. So wide-spread are the effects of this lie, in fact, that three books will be required to tell the whole story. A man named…
Within the space of a month, two chick lit novels appeared in which a modern young woman with Mr. Darcy as her romantic ideal goes on a trip to England inspired by Jane Austen’s novels and is made to test her ideals. Having enjoyed Austenland by Shannon Hale, I turned to Me and Mr. Darcy…
The Education of Mrs. Brimley is Donna MacMeans’ first novel. I thought the characters were quite delightful, and the author created a strong sexual tension between her hero and heroine. That said, though, the basic premise of the plot was a bit too much to be believed. Emma Heatherston was born out of wedlock and…
