The Eagle and the Dove is the first book in a new American historical series by Morrow that will span the years between 1850 and Reconstruction. This first installment had some makings of a good read, with kidnappings, rescues, fights, passion, and more, but the writing style and a heavy dose of drama kept it…
Beyond Seduction is only the second Stephanie Laurens novel that I’ve read, so I began this entry in the Bastion Club series with very few preconceived notions. What I found as I began reading was that…well, it was okay, but not much more than okay. Gervase Tregarth returns home from the Napoleonic Wars to claim…
The Debutante’s Second Chance is a pleasant low key romance set in a small Indiana river town. A serious thread runs through the story – the heroine is a former abused wife who runs an underground railroad for abused women and children. Despite its dark subject matter, the book is sweet and sunny and low…
The Boys Next Door is a cute story with adorable teenage characters who brought me back thoughts of the first boy I fell in love with, and all the incredibly embarrassing things I said and did to get him to fall in love with me. This is a light, funny read that will warm your…
This is my first – and my last – Sue-Ellen Welfonder novel. There might have been a good story lurking somewhere in the pages of Bride for a Knight, but it was buried beneath clichés and a writing style that was at first amusing but quickly became incredibly annoying. Jamie Macpherson is a big, strapping…
This is another installment in Lora Leigh’s Breed series, and in my opinion, one of the better ones. Scheme Tallant’s father Cyrus is responsible for the orders that sent countless Breeds to their deaths. Tanner Reynolds, a Bengal Tiger Breed, believes Scheme played a role in her father’s actions. He plans to kidnap her and…
Knights of the Round Table: Gawain is both the third book that Rowley has published and the third in this interesting series that puts a different spin on the legends of those mythic knights. Rowley’s writing is intelligent, witty, and filled with great imagination. In this book she features the courageous, honorable Gawain, along with…
Warlord contains Knight’s previously published novel Jane’s Warlord, Warfem, which was published as part of an anthology, and two other short stories. The author notes that these last two short stories are previously unpublished, but if you were a member of her Yahoo! fan club, you may have already read them, as they were on…
Catch of the Day, Kristan Higgins’s second novel, offers all the same things I loved about her debut, Fools Rush In: a sympathetic, down-to-earth heroine, great humor, and pleasant settings. This book could have great…if not for one major pitfall. Maggie Beaumont fell in love with a priest. She didn’t know he was a priest…
When I picked up The Lure of the Wolf, I thought that I was in for another fun shapeshifter series. Unfortunately, I found cardboard, beefcake males who spurn clothing, and the women who have sex with them for two days straight and call it love. There was also a fantastic alternate reality world that nearly…
