To put it simply, reading Babyville was a revelation to me. I experienced it like a completely unexpected sock to the gut – it knocked the wind out of me and left me gasping for air. Reading this novel was an emotional journey I didn’t expect to take. It rose above stereotyped characters and you-can-see-them-coming…
When I finish a book and can’t remember the main characters, it’s bad. When I finish a book and remember the main characters, but that’s all, it’s average. When I finish a book and remember the main characters, plus all the secondary characters, and wish there was a 24/7 bookstore so I could go out…
In the France of olde, Diane de Poitiers returns to the court of Francois I after an informal exile of five years. The two were involved in a scandalous relationship then, and though he’d like to start it up again, she wants to begin anew. She is thirtyone, beautiful, and clever. She is also strong,…
I’d recommend buying this volume based on the first story alone. Nora Roberts aptly demonstrates why she is at the top of the bestseller lists. I loved Laine and Max, and I was sorry to see their story end even though I knew Eve and Roarke were next in line. Laine Tavish has a successful…
I love visiting Eve and Roarke, as I always feel like I’m hanging out with old friends. All the wonderful aspects that go into their stories are present here. Samantha Gannon, granddaughter of Max and Laine (from the first part of Remember When), is a published author and has been on tour promoting her new…
For those of you who have waited patiently for the final chapter in Chapman’s Highlander trilogy, Wedding the Highlander was so worth the wait. In Michael MacBain’s story, there is a lot more magic, a more intense romance and whole lot of great sex. Libby Hart is a trauma surgeon from California and she’s running…
Every once in a while, you stumble across a true story from history that smacks of a fairy tale. I found one recently in Anya Seton’s Katherine, a fictionalized story of the romance between Katherine Swynford and John of Gaunt, the great Duke of Lancaster. She was born a commoner – he, the third son…
A Rush of Wings sat on my TBR pile all summer long. I’m embarrassed to say that I put off reading it because I didn’t think it would be very good. My luck with inspirationals has been rather poor of late. But I was wrong. Quite, quite wrong. This is the best inspirational romance I…
To Have vs. To Hold is one of the very best mysteries I’ve ever read in a romance novel. That may sound like faint praise as many romance authors try to write mysteries that often fail. But this book is a puzzle so clever and inventive it would hold up in any genre. It’s what…
Wow. There’s really nothing more I can say that would convey my reaction to Kathleen Korbel’s Some Men’s Dreams better than that. It’s simply phenomenal, a book that manages to deliver more deep emotions, intense scenes, remarkable characters and beautiful writing than books twice its length. What Korbel accomplishes within its pages is truly incredible….
