Paula Graves’ Forbidden Territory was one of the more promising debuts I read last year. In it she took the usual psychic heroine romantic suspense premise and did some interesting things with it, avoiding the typical serial killer element and giving her cop hero perfectly valid reasons to be skeptical of the heroine’s abilities beyond…
I’ve been following with some amusement the dismay online that Linda Howard lowered herself to collaborate with two friends and fellow authors on the Raintree trilogy. I mean, how dare Linda Winstead Jones and Beverly Barton have the audacity to think they have any right to create a series with a friend? After all, no…
Jo Beverley’s books have always been comfort reads to me. Lady Beware, the latest in her Company of Rogues series, fits nicely into this category. Lord Darien returns a hero from the Napoleonic Wars to claim a title that is blemished, to say the least. Because of his wastrel ancestors, lecherous father, and insanely murderous…
I’m never quite sure what I’m going to get when I pick up a Lynsay Sands romance. Her books tend to be either quirky and fun, or quirky and painful. However, I tend to like her Medievals – especially The Deed and The Key – and I looked forward her new one, though the title,…
Never having read any of the other books Gerard’s Bodyguards series, I had no idea what to expect. I’m happy to say that this was a fast paced and mostly enjoyable read, with an excellent heroine, a hard-bodied hero and a nice set of secondary characters that I want to see again. The back story…
I read the first twenty pages of Suzanne Enoch’s Sins of a Duke, sighed, and settled in for a fantastic read. After all, the heroine – before being properly introduced – had just slapped the hero across the face in front of a ballroom full of people. Enoch’s new romance is loosely connected to the…
I had such high hopes for Lucy Finn’s debut, Careful What You Wish For. I wanted something light and fun, sweet even. Loved the genie in a bottle thing and thought this would just have to work on some level. It didn’t, enough. Ravine Patton is a single mother who recently left her high-profile position…
The heroine from Dead Shot is among the most atypical I’ve ever read. Readers will either love her and embrace the stereotype break, or be put out of their comfort zone. As for the rest of the book, the story is interesting, thought though the ending leaves a bit to be desired. Ever since Gillian…
Betsy and Sinclair get married at the end of this book. I don’t think that counts as a spoiler as the last five books in this series have been building up to this point. And, if you’re like me, you probably wanted to know that before starting MaryJanice Davidson’s sixth book in her Betsy Taylor,…
First of all, let’s call this series what it is: Regency Buffy. Now, if you’re as intrigued as I was when reading the review of last year’s The Rest Falls Away, the very good news is that what we have here isn’t a rip-off of that great television show, but instead something that takes the…
