I read A Good Yarn for book club this month, and it was – more or less – the first time anyone but me had chosen a book from the romance section, though it’s more women’s fiction than anything else. I wasn’t sure what I’d think, since I’ve had mixed reactions to Debbie Macomber’s books…
To purposely misquote: “Romance novels should beware of kids and pets.” Invariably, they send the cheese factor through the roof. Unfortunately Susan Mallery had already put herself behind the eight-ball, plot-wise, and the prominence of the character of Danny kept her there for most of her latest Marcelli novel The Marcelli Princess. First, this is…
A variety of paranormal creatures populate Demon’s Delight, an anthology featuring four short stories. One story is terrible, but the other three are wonderful and I’ll probably re-read them as soon as I finish this review.
Have you ever wanted to read a version of Pride and Prejudice with Lydia as the heroine? Me neither. But with its Austen-esque title and amazingly oblivious heroine, that’s precisely what Innocence and Impropriety calls to mind. Since I’ve read and enjoyed other books by this author in the past, this experience disappointed me. Jameson…
Spring is the best time for romances. With the days growing longer and the weather fluctuating between downpours and mild days, you can’t go wrong with a steamy love story. For me, paranormal romances are a guilty pleasure, but just because I enjoy crème brulee doesn’t mean I’d pass up a handful of Skittles. Lynsay…
First of all, there is no way for me to write this review without offering up major spoilers, so consider this fair warning. Based on this book, apparently the Powers That Be at Avon think we’re ready for a return to the bodice rippers of old, complete with a mean hero, a powerless heroine, and…
To put it bluntly, it’s very tough for a book featuring all action and dialogue to hold my attention. Right off the bat on page one of All Jacked Up, Library of Congress librarian Aubrey Sullivan is plummeted into a shoot-out and an abduction (in the middle of said Library of Congress, by the way)…
Kasey Michaels is back with the Romney Marsh series. This time it’s the loner Spencer’s turn at love. This is not only the first of the series that I have read, but my first Kasey Michaels book, period. Despite the low grade for this one, I won’t write off the author just yet. I’d like…
For what it is, this book isn’t half bad. Now, what do I mean by that decidedly backhanded compliment? Accidentally Engaged is wacky (ugh), zany (double ugh), cutesy-poo (triple ugh), but, on the other hand, not without its smarts either. If you like MaryJanice Davidson – and you know who you are – this book…
I’m definitely a little late to the party when it comes to Lucy Blue’s medieval vampire series. Starting with the third book was not the wisest decision, but once I got my bearings, I became completely engrossed – which shows Ms. Blue’s talent. Too bad she lost her contract with Pocket. * Roxanna is a…
