I asked to review San Antonio Seduction, as the Downtown Riverwalk in San Antonio is one of my favorite places in the world. Unfortunately, while the author does a great job of giving the reader the feel of the area, this story failed on all other levels. In fact, life on the Riverwalk and its…
Scandalous Lovers features as its centerpiece the Men’s and Women’s Club, an actual club existing in 1880s London, formed to discuss “sexology,” or issues between the sexes, in a scholarly fashion. In Schone’s novel, the tenor of the club’s discussions takes a drastic and personal turn with the introduction of a new member. James Whitcox,…
Typically, this is the time of year when I like to squeeze in some last minute 2006 reading before I vote in AAR’s annual poll. It’s a good time to catch up on potential favorites that I missed during the previous year. Sad to say, The Invasion of Falgannon Isle actually unseated the book I…
Mercy (yep, that’s actually her name) leads a dull, dull life in small town Pennsylvania, so when she takes a holiday to San Antonio to visit her best friend, she has only one agendaL to spice up her lackluster existence. While hanging gout at her uncles bar on her first night in town, she meets…
Twelfth century England has always been one of my favorite historical time periods, so when I saw that Twilight Magic was set in 1145 during the civil war between Empress Matilda and King Stephen, I thought it was probably worth a shot.

Lily Quinn is a 24-year-old art major whose life is drifting along, disturbed only by her struggle to financially survive in New York City. She lives with her…
I generally don’t pick up any Superromances these days that involve pregnancies, cowboys or children of any kind. Which means I don’t pick up many Superromances these days. But when I saw Helen Brenna’s Treasure, I pounced on it like a crazed leopard. Could it be? A Superromance about a marine archaeologist and a treasure…
What a Lady Wants has a strong beginning and a likable heroine, but, unfortunately, it’s weakened by a shallow hero and an unexciting second half. Nigel Cavendish is one of a group of four men who originally bet a shilling and a bottle of cognac on who would remain unmarried the longest. One has already…
