The long-awaited sequel to Duke of Sin is here, and it was worth the wait. In Paris, Lady Olivia Shea had a whirlwind courtship before wedding Lord Edmund Carlisle. He deserted her on the wedding night – pre-consummation – and absconded with most of her money. Heartbroken, but even more spitting mad, she vows to…
There are a few writers who have created a character whose name has become a by-word for a certain type of person. If we describe a man as a “regular Sherlock Holmes”, everyone knows what kind of man he is. Until recently, a popular search engine was named Ask Jeeves.com. Jeeves is of course the…
I don’t know how I managed to miss the boat on this author. Happily, I plan to check out her backlist immediately as I can hardly wait for the next book in this series. I wanted to read this book in one sitting, and was terribly offended that the real world intruded on my reading…
Normally a book cover does not influence me, but I thought the cover of Duchess of Fifth Avenue was quite stunning. Would the story inside be as good as the cover? Lana and her best friend Siobhan escape their harsh lives in Ireland and settle in New York City. Unfortunately, Siobhan’s husband, Billy, a charming…
Sébastien Japrisot, French author and screenwriter, was the anagrammatic pseudonym of Jean-Baptiste Rossi, a writer from Marseille. His work is very well known in France, and A Very Long Engagement was a huge hit when it was published there over a decade ago. I, of course, had to find this out via Google as I…
Let me begin by stating that Sebastian, Lord St. Vincent, wins the award in my book for most anticipated future hero. As I finished reading It Happened One Autumn, I was stunned to discover that extreme bad boy Sebastian would be featured as the hero in its sequel and I must admit that I was…
The Silver Rose is the last book in Susan Carroll’s Sisters of Faire Isle trilogy. It beautifully weaves all the threads left dangling from the first two books into a rich tapestry of magic, history, passion, intrigue, and impossible love. Faire Isle has undergone a drastic change from when we first discovered it. It was…
Special Gifts is my all-time favorite psychic romance. The rest of the romance reading world may hold up Linda Howard’s Dream Man as the definitive version of this tale, but I’d take Anne Stuart’s spin on it any day. It starts with that oh-so-common premise: the psychic heroine, the skeptical hero and the serial killer….
After going all of 2005 without a DIK, it was wonderful to close All Night Long with a big smile on my face – 2006 was off to a good start. My joy was made greater by the fact that Jayne Ann Krentz is a long time favorite who continues to deliver the goods, while…
I know this is romance sacrilege, but when I read Lord of Scoundrels about ten years ago, I traded it back to the ubs. I don’t remember that I hated it, just that I didn’t particularly want to keep it. This was before I started reviewing romances, or even interacting with other readers online, for…
