It’s my masochistic love for the time travel sub-genre that keeps me reading even when stupid 20th century women use disco songs as war cries during some medieval battle. Even though the title of Thirty Nights with a Highland Husband had me cringing, some unknown force was drawn to the words “time-travel” and “Scotland”. Frankly,…
The picture on the cover of The Great Scot is a wonderful bit of eye candy and I wouldn’t mind having a poster of it. The story inside the wonderful cover is okay, but I never lost myself in it as I often do in a particularly good one. Erin McGregor is the location coordinator…
Gloriana St. Clair is a girl after my own heart; strong, funny, and not afraid to let her sexuality shine through. Perhaps the fact that she is a 400 year old vampire makes all the difference. She is not a brooding character who wallows in self-pity because of what she has become. Instead she refreshingly…
Despite the hot sex and the paranormal theme, there is something about Scent of Darkness that seems a bit out of step. This one feels, to be honest, like an Harlequin Presents paranormal, if such a beast existed. You’ve got a virginal heroine who was actually raised in an orphanage (do they even exist anymore?)…
Take a sort of bionic Navy SEAL, add in a heroine tinged by tragedy, involve our two leads in a murky spy plot, include a heavy dose of cameo appearances from characters readers supposedly know and love from previous books, and the result is one pip of an average book. Christina Skye’s Code Name series…
From the very first page of Silk Dreams, it is obvious that Diana Groe is a very talented storyteller. With that said, however, I never really got as caught up as I should have been in the romance of this book due to the author’s extensive focus on the details of a very complex intrigue…
How To Engage An Earl started out promising, yet ended up sorely lacking. The plot had potential, but the details of the story did not meet the expectations I had as the book got underway. Anne Royle is the second of triplet sisters who might possibly be the illegitimate daughters of Prince Edward. Anne plans…
We’ve all had it happen. You’re reading a book, really into it, and something happens that just pulls you out of the moment entirely. That perfectly describes my experience with On Target. Two-thirds of the book were compelling and fast-paced, yet, once I got distracted, I began to notice little things that bothered me. However,…
P.C. Cast’s novels mix mythology with a unique voice, and the result is generally a highly entertaining read. I started Goddess of Love expecting another such treat, but, unfortunately, this book is just not her best. While the story definitely has some charming sections and even several laugh out loud moments, it lacks a certain…
“You take what you can get.” That is what Joanne Walker tells herself towards the end of a mind-numbing journey, and it encapsulates her essence. Joanne is a half Irish, half Cherokee officer for the Seattle Police Department. As detailed in the two previous books in the series, she started out as a garage mechanic…
