Limecello’s review of Million Dollar Baby Bargain by Tessa Radley Contemporary romance published by Silhouette Desire on 11 Aug 2009 I really enjoy Tessa Radley’s Silhouette Desire books. Million Dollar Baby Bargain was no exception, but there was something different about it. Not “off” exactly, but the tone felt a little darker, and the title, [...]

REVIEW: The Christmas Stranger by Beth Cornelison

Friday, November 20, 2009 1:00 1 Comment

Wendy the Super Librarian‘s review of The Christmas Stranger (The Bancroft Brides #1) by Beth Cornelison Romantic suspense released by Silhouette Romance Suspense 01 Oct 09 I’ve never naturally gravitated towards Harlequin’s romantic suspense category lines, despite being a longtime mystery/suspense fan.  I suspect it’s because, as much as I love the category format, adhering [...]

Limecello’s review of Burn For Me by Dee Tenorio Contemporary romance published by Samhain Publishing on 3 Nov 2009 I’ve only read a few of Dee Tenorio’s stories, but I think she’s an author to keep an eye on. (I said the same about Jess Dee.) I’ve read Burn For Me a few times now, [...]

EXCERPT: Hunter’s Need by Shiloh Walker

Wednesday, November 18, 2009 15:00 4 Comments

I have read a few of Shiloh’s books, not nearly as many as I’d like. Unfortunately, of those few books I’ve read only one Hunters book, The Huntress. Yeah, shame on me. Especially because I so enjoy Shiloh’s work. So whether you’ve read most of her backlist or this is your first Shiloh book, here’s [...]

Wendy the Super Librarian‘s review of From Waif To Gentleman’s Wife (Wellingford’s #5) by Julia Justiss Historical romance released by Harlequin Historical 01 Oct 09 Over the years I have remained fiercely loyal to Harlequin Historical in part because of their willingness to publish stories set in locales currently not the flavor of the month.  [...]

The Harlequin mash-up

Wednesday, November 18, 2009 12:00 7 Comments

Most people will know by now that Harlequin has announced a vanity publishing line, Harlequin Horizons. It’s caused a massive blow-up on the Internet. Ann Aguirre, Smart Bitches, Trashy Books, Absolute Write, Maya Reynolds and Dear Author are only a few places where you can see discussions about the new venture. What strikes me is [...]

Sandy M’s review of Lucan (Pendragon Legacy, Book 1) by Susan Kearney Futuristic Romance published by Forever 5 Sep 09 I’m so glad I’m finding dragon books to read lately, and this one is a very pleasant surprise.

PONDERING: A word in favor of getting it right

Sunday, November 15, 2009 20:58 7 Comments

It’s the time of year and this is short, because I could go on and on, but I don’t need to. I live in Britain, in a small, unremarkable town. When I go into town to do some shopping I pass a cottage where Oliver Cromwell lodged on his way to one of the Civil [...]

Sunday, November 15, 2009 13:00 2 Comments

Limecello’s review of The Santorini Bride by Anne McAllister Contemporary romance published by Harlequin Presents on 1 Feb 2007 The Santorini Bride is an older book, but definitely worth reading. I think it’s one of the best Harlequin Presents books I’ve read, and I can’t really think of cliches it truly falls into. Anne McAllister [...]
