Devon’s review of A Duke of Her Own (Desperate Duchesses, Book 6) by Eloisa James Historical Romance released by Avon 28 Jul 09 Bear with me, I’m a bit rusty at this reviewing thing.

We had a terrific day with Judi Fennell during her Duck Chat and we’d like to thank her very much!

LauraJ’s review of Jinxed by Inez Kelley Contemporary Romantic Comedy released by Samhain Publishing on June 9, 2009. I think every woman wants to find a man who is “perfect” (and it’s okay if your idea of perfect is different than mine, etc) and in this light-hearted romance I think Ms. Kelley has managed to [...]

Wendy the Super Librarian‘s review of Sensual Winds by Carmen Green Contemporary romance released by Kimani Romance 01 July 2009 I had high hopes for this third book in Kimani Romance’s multi-author Mother Nature Matchmaker trilogy. It’s got the same ingredients that made the first two books appealing, Key West and a cabin romance theme, [...]

Sandy M’s review of Miss Firecracker (Wild West Boys, Book 2) by Lorelei James Contemporary Western Erotic Romance ebook published by Samhain 30 Jun 09 I’m enjoying these novellas of Ms. James’ that are offshoots of her McKay family series. These Wild West boys are cousins to their infamous counterparts. The stories are shorter, of [...]

Lynne Connolly’s review of Blackmailed into the Greek Tycoon’s Bed by Carol Marinelli Contemporary Romance published by Harlequin Presents 7 Aug 09 This one I loved, despite it having a few strikes against it. First, it’s a rugby book. HMB decided to do one book a month with a rugby theme, and with a few [...]

Sandy M’s review of The Bridegroom (Stone Creek, Book 5) by Linda Lael Miller Historical Western Romance published by HQN 28 Jul 09 You know, I always love a good western romance. There’s a few authors out there I’d read no matter what in this genre. But Linda Lael Miller has lately gone that extra [...]

Nicola has a terrific backlist of books, but it’s her latest Brides of Fortune trilogy that has her excited nowadays, and she’d like to tell you about them, along with having some fun with all of you.

Sandy M’s review of The Brides of Fortune Trilogy by Nicola Cornick Historical Romances released by HQN Jun – Aug 2009 I jumped at the chance to read this trilogy because I’d just read and reviewed my first Nicola Cornick book, Unmasked, a few months ago, and I so enjoyed her writing. Her characters, while [...]

Recently I read on a list that history is all a matter of opinion, not of specific facts, so I thought it was worth revisiting the historical romance, and the knotty topic of accuracy. Does it add to a romance, or take away from it?  [Gwen ed.: read more about the Ducks' views on historical [...]

Lynne Connolly’s review of The Sicilian’s Marriage Arrangement by Lucy Monroe Contemporary romance released by Harlequin Presents 1 Feb 07 I have to say that this isn’t my favourite Monroe book. I usually enjoy her books, but not this one.
