Along with many others in the romance community, I anxiously awaited the last installment of Adele Ashworth’s Duke’s Trilogy. Both of the earlier books in this series garnered B+ grades for me personally. Knowing that Colin’s book was yet to come meant things could only get better – or so I thought. Probably failing in…
In The Winter Prince, Cheryl Sawyer turns her research and writing skills to the tumultous years of the English Civil War. Her story focuses on Mary Villiers, Duchess of Richmond and Lennox, and Prince Rupert of Bohemia (also known as Rupert of the Rhine). As Charles I’s ward and nephew, both Mary and Rupert were…
Lovers of sweet romances will take Hired By The Cowboy to their hearts. It’s a marriage of convenience story set in Canada and it’s sweet, really sweet and endearing as a basket of fluffy kittens. I was all set to get cynical about it, but my attitude didn’t last the first chapter. Alexis Grayson is…
Sex Lounge has a catchy title, but other than that, the hero and heroine are two people who have major issues that they need to work out separately. And for erotica, this book’s sex read uneffectively and left me cold. Nichole has a notebook of all her sexual fantasies. She works at a model agency…
I wanted to like The Art of Seduction. I really, really did. I mean, it’s Paris, it’s 1889, and it’s burning. This would normally be right up my alley. Sadly, I thought the heroine came a bit too close TSTL and truly began to believe the hero was psychotic by the time I’d slogged two-thirds…
For a lot of us, Leslie LaFoy consistently delivers pleasurable books. And the good news is that, even though it’s not without flaws, The Duke’s Proposal is another in her string of well-written European Historical Romances. The last in her trilogy of books featuring the illegitimate daughters of a duke, this one tells the story…
My husband posed a hypothetical to me not too long ago: If there was a book I wanted – really, really wanted, but the only way I could get it was to drive to a town 300 miles away, what would I do? My response: “Road Trip!” This conversation, singled out from the many we…
Sylvia Day introduces an intriguing new paranormal world in Pleasures of the Night, but the overall lack of development prevents it from having the impact it should have – or much at all. The story takes place in a world where dreams are real and Nightmares can be deadly. Aidan Cross is a Dream Guardian,…
Tough Enough is the latest in Michele Albert’s series about the Avalon organization – a group of private operatives who specialize in finding lost and stolen art and artifacts. This series features a love story in each book, and a continuing story arc that involves the search for an elusive art thief and a mystery…
Katie MacAlister is not for everyone. She has her own, distinct style that I have enjoyed over the years. So, reader, beware! If you have already tried and disliked a previous MacAlister novel, The Last of the Red Hot Vampires is not going to be the one to turn that opinion on its ear. Yes,…
