Unlike many romance fans, I’m not a chronic re-reader. There are so many books that need to be reviewed in the here and now that I rarely feel like I can take the time to indulge myself with an old favorite. I also can’t help wondering if it really was that good. I first read…
(Ms. Groe now writes as Mia Marlowe) Winter days just cry out for reading romance. When I’m sitting at home looking out on a day of fog, snow, or icy rain, for me there’s no greater treat than settling in with a fiery romance. When I picked up Erinsong, it was about noon and so…
I’ve enjoyed Kristi Gold’s romances before, but off the top of my head, I can’t think of any one that was truly special. In Fall from Grace, one of the debut romances in Harlequin’s new Everlasting line (which explore romantic relationships over a period of time), she truly impresses with a heartfelt story about the…
The Raven Prince is classic romance. It is the type of book that reminds me why I love this genre. Elizabeth Hoyt’s debut novel brings emotion, sensuality, and wit to the forefront, blending it all together with a deft hand. The characters are not new to us: A nobleman with a heart-hardening past and a…
This is my first Nora Roberts novel, and, after having read it, I can definitely see why she’s a perennial bestseller. Her writing is crisp, her characters vivid and compelling, and her romance utterly and hopelessly bittersweet. With a story that is fantastic, while at the same time very real and emotional, Valley of Silence…
I have to admit I’m a sucker for paranormal romances and, if you throw in a little SF, you pretty much have me hooked. Set in a post-apocalyptic world infested with cannibals, vampires, and those out for a fast buck, Inferno is softened by very real and human characters. Although the main protagonist, Katarina (a.k.a….
Could you tell from the title that Bowie Stone is a bigamist? Well, he is, to put it bluntly, but don’t let that put you off. While I’m not much for men with more than one wife, after reading The Wives of Bowie Stone I will be happy to become Bowie’s third wife and not…
When it comes to authors Missing In Action, I really miss Jan Freed. She wrote some of the best Harlequin Superromance titles ever including this Pygmalion inspired little gem – My Fair Gentleman. It’s one of my all-time favorite comfort reads and one of the books I simply must have on the desert island. If…
I will give almost any time travel romance a shot and I think it’s because of the fated aspect of the romance – that shot of kismet that will draw a woman or man from present times to a time in the past in order to be with their soul’s mate. I’ve read a lot…
Looking over the last couple of months, I’ve reviewed quite a few short story anthologies and novellas. To be honest, I was feeling a bit burned out by the genre, wondering if powerful love stories could be told with low word counts. But this collection is strong, erotic, emotional, and satisfying. Quite simply, this Secrets…
