Although I have several favorite romance novels by writers ranging, alphabetically, from Mary Balogh to Joan Wolf, I’ve chosen one by Eva Ibbotson as my all-time desert isle “keeper” because she seems to be a writer often overlooked by many romance readers — and one that they very well might enjoy as much as I…
This book tiptoes quietly into your brain until you are so involved in the story it becomes impossible to separate fiction from reality. An unconventional yet compelling story, it is romance where you would never expect to find it and it is, quite simply, wonderful. Cleveland Black Horse, or “Cleve” as he is informally known,…
A Girl of the Limberlost is a book that I have read over and over and over again, despite the fact that no one could call it a great book. Even I, who love it to death, have to admit it is very sweet and just a little too sentimental sometimes. So, why do I…
this review is by Arnette Lamb The first time I read Border Lord, I was about twelve. I fell in love with both the Border Lord (Francis Stewart, 5th Earl of Bothwell) and Sir Patrick Galbraith; and I loathed the Earls of Morton and Maitland (the king’s wicked advisers and Bothwell’s worst enemies), and wondered…
Duncan’s Bride is a typical Linda Howard book, in that it features as its hero Reese Duncan – a big, tough, alpha-double-plus male who is strong, stubborn, handsome as sin, and oversexed to the max. Did I like him? Yeah, I guess so. Did I want to drop kick his butt all over his ranch?…
Suzanne Brockmann is a versatile category romance writer. Most readers know her by her Tall, Dark and Dangerous miniseries featuring the most macho group of Navy SEALS you will ever meet, the guys from Alpha Squad. The first book in the series is Prince Joe. I picked up this book because my son is named…
This week seems to have been the week for finding gut-wrenching stories, and this one is just as good as the other two. I tried several times over the past few months to read this book, but it just never caught my interest until the other night. Guess I was in the mood for it…
A Desert Island Keeper is a book I want to read over and over, and Tallchief by Dinah McCall certainly fits the bill. In general, “American Indian” books aren’t my cuppa, but once in a while I make an exception; Tallchief is an exceptional book. Morgan Tallchief lost the only woman he ever loved. At…
I have to say it – a few pages in to this book, and I became obsessed with it. If I put it down, I was edgy until I could pick it up again. When I had to go to bed, I dreamed about it. When I had to go to work, I seriously considered…
Most of the books I read these days are ones needing to be reviewed. Sea Swept had already been reviewed, so I didn’t have to make notes, be analytical or justify my opinions. I was taking a busman’s holiday, a little like a food critic, who after spending meal after meal at tony gourmet restaurants,…
