Dinca’s review of The Substitute Bride by Janet Dean Love Imspired Historical published by Harleqin 9 February 2010 This is one of the best mail-order bride stories I have read. I find the plot innovative with lots of twist and turns. Ted and Elizabeth each have a secret they don’t want to share.

Dinca’s review of Diablo (The Texans Series, Book 1) by Georgina Gentry Historical Western Romance  published by Zebra 1 Feb 10 To read or not to read… that is the question. Here I find an above average hero and a wimpy heroine  with a disgusting villain and a whole ranch of spineless followers.

Wendy the Super Librarian‘s Duckies Do Series review of The Accidental Series by Michelle Willingham Historical romances released by Harlequin Historical Feb – Mar 2010 I’ve spent all of 2010 being perpetually behind in my reading.  It’s gotten to the point where I literally have whole series waiting for me to read.  Depressing, to be [...]

LauraJ’s review of Knock Me For A Loop by Heidi Betts Contemporary Romance published by St. Martin’s Press 2 Feb 1o I have a confession to make…I read this book when it first came out. But when I read it, I really just wanted to read it without reading it to critique it. I had [...]

Birdie’s review of Bound by Temptation by Lavinia Kent Historical Romance released by Avon Feb 10 Have you ever put down a book, unfinished, but still recommended it to a friend?

LynneC’s review of Pure Princess, Bartered Bride by Caitlin Crews Contemporary Romance published by Harlequin Presents 1 Feb 10 Sigh. Another stupid title, but this one doesn’t have a hero in it, so is this a new direction? I’m not a fan of the “listing” title, and I don’t think I ever will be. Harlequin, [...]
