Going back to early favourites can be frightening, for fear that memory played tricks on you. When I decided to re-read and review the first chick lit book I ever read, I was a bit anxious. But luckily for me and my peace of mind, I found that Second Thyme Around stands up to both…
This debut novel, is filled with witty dialogue, sizzling chemistry, and a truly dreamy former bad-boy hero. Although there is suspense, the focus is clearly on the relationship between the hero and heroine. All I can say is, welcome, Ms. Sey. Please keep the books coming! FBI Special Agent Liz Brynn is the only person…
I’m not sure why it took me so long to read Tessa Dare. She’s certainly a well-respected historical romance author. This is largely why I selected Three Nights With a Scoundrel to review, and man, am I glad I did. I loved every page. When Lady Lily Chatwick’s twin brother Leo is murdered, she is…
NOTE: Originally a Harlequin SuperRomance, this book has been reissued by the author as The Gambler. There are about a hundred romances each year about a bad girl who returns to the small town where she grew up and gets entangled with the local sheriff – but very few where the bad boy returns to…

There are books I rather like and then, every once in a great while, there are books I love to the point of wanting everybody I know to go out and buy a copy. Libertine’s Kiss is one of those rare books. This angsty historical is heartrendingly beautiful, featuring beautiful language and a fantastic setting…
I know they’ve become cliched, but I still love Good Girl Meets Bad Boy romances. (I really love Bad Girl Meets Good Boy romances, but those are quite rare.) As you’d expect, most are average and forgettable. But on those occasions when I read a really good one – like Hot Island Nights – it’s…
Narrated by Victor Slezak Envy is part of my Unofficial 2010 Listening Challenge. I haven’t been a fan of romantic suspense in the past and Envy changed that – completely. Sandra Brown has to be one of the more refined voices for sophisticated suspense combined with romance. I wasn’t bored for a moment as I…
Beauty and the Beast is a very old tale. The roots of the story go back to the Greek myth of Cupid and Psyche, and it has furnished the plot for many romance novels – Ravished by Amanda Quick and Mary Jo Putney’s short story, The Black Beast of Belleterre are two of my favorites….
