Cheryl St. John is keeping the flame of Western Romance alive almost single handedly and doing a wonderful job of it. Her latest, The Preacher’s Daughter, is sweet, romantic, and just plain sigh-worthy. It came thisclose to being a DIK, but fell just a tiny bit short. Can I rate it a B++? Lorabeth Holdridge’s…
Toni Blake’s latest comes across as your typical small town romance laced with erotic undertones. But there is a telling message underneath the hot sex: How do you forgive and trust again the one who betrayed you? Trish Henderson has finally returned to her small hometown of Eden, Indiana, to help with her parents’ retiring…
I generally find myself rolling my eyes when I read a girl-in-pants historical novel. They seem to be packed with clichés and full of overdrawn characters. So when I flipped through Wild Sweet Love and noticed how often the heroine gallivanted about in a pair of leather pants, I worried. My fears were unfounded, as…
I want to start off this review by saying that this book was my first venture into erotica, so I have no standard to judge it by. I’m not one to usually turn down a book because of its sensuality, but I found the extent of sex in this book, and the types of “relationships”…
Thief of Hearts was originally published by Ellora’s Cave in 2003 – Wild Hearts is a new short story I was a huge fan of Batman: The Animated Series, so don’t take it the wrong way when I say that the book worked best for me when I pretended it was set in Gotham City….
I read Passion for the Game because I really needed to review something different. My last several reads (for review and otherwise) have been complete duds, and I was ready to try almost anything that seemed novel. A Georgian historical with burning-level sensuality seemed to fit the bill. While it didn’t end up as a…
Mameve Medwed’s How Elizabeth Barrett Browning Saved My Life gives a fresh spin to the Chick Lit genre, trading in high-end fashion shops and corporate offices for the flea markets of New England. I learned plenty about the antique world – more than I thought I would want to – and had a good time…
If you’re looking for a kidnap/revenge romance, you should look into the latest in Sabrina Jeffries’ School for Heiresses series, Beware a Scot’s Revenge. It features a hero and heroine who secretly care for each other even as they exchange constant insults back and forth with time to kiss like there is no more tomorrow….
While The Demon You Know had some plot problems, it moved along quickly and ended up as a mostly enjoyable read. I haven’t read all the books in this series, but the author does a decent job of explaining the characters and there isn’t much world building to catch up on. Abby Baker is an…
Eloisa James writes “Ensemble” novels, focusing on a set of people and with storylines which can span several books. It is a style that either resonates with you or doesn’t. In general, while I prefer to read romances which focus primarily on the hero and heroine, I can enjoy James’s style – dependent upon the…
