REVIEW: Untamed Cowboy by Pam Crooks

Shannon C.'s review of Untamed Cowboy by Pam Crooks
Western romance published by Harlequin Historicals 1 Jul 07
I really like westerns. Admittedly, I've not read many books in the genre, but I count LaVyrle Spencer's The Endearment as one of the best romances I read when I first found the genre. For me, the appeal of the western romance is that it involves characters who have to be strong and tough and show what they're made of. It is, in fact, the dirt that I love when it comes to westerns.

May 10, 2008
The Magic of Christmas (Anthology) by Carolyn Davidson, Victoria Bylin, and Cheryl St.John, coming October 2008.
WOW look Carolyn Davidson is going to be in a HH! Woot! For those of you non Harlequin Historical readers (what is wrong with you people?!) she has been writing mainly in the HQN line as of late. Tres cool. And Bylin has been in the Steeple Hill line so this is like old home week ;).
Cheryl St.John gave into my begging responded to my request and we get a peek...

Deborah Simmons is an author I picked up because of All About Romance. They have some great reviews and interviews up on her.
At that point I had never read a Harlequin Historical but picked up The Last Rogue to try. I was glad I did.
The whole series is a delight - The Vicar's Daughter, The Devil Earl, Tempting Kate, and The Last Rogue. If you can find them, grab them. She also has some great novellas in a few Harlequin Anthologies. The Officer's Bride is one of my faves and The Brides of Christmas was recently rereleased.
Most of her books are written for the Harlequin Historical line, although the last two were for Berkley and her first book, Heart's Masquerade, (one I picked up not too long ago) was Avon.
We haven't had a new book from Deborah Simmons since, A Lady of Distinction, was published in May of 2004. When I checked in with her to see what she is up too, she told me:
I've spent some time working on a contemporary romantic comedy, but haven't abandoned my historical writing.
Personally I have my fingers crossed her new historical proposal gets picked up but at this point I would be happy to just see her with a new book.

April showers bring May flowers, or at least that is what I am hoping, as it has been very rainy here in the UK throughout April. May also brings lots of Harlequin news and great books to read.

Review: The Harlot’s Daughter by Blythe Gifford
February 14, 2008
Alicia's review of The Harlot's Daughter by Blythe Gifford
Historical romance released 1 Oct 07 from Harlequin
I love early medievals, so The Harlot's Daughter, set in 1386 looked like a good choice. I was also pulled in by the choice of story. The major events happened and a lot of the characters were actually real people. I just love historicals like that. Though I was slow to get into it at first, I liked the poetic style and the metaphors and symbolism. It was done well but I didn't see the characters all that clearly and started thinking the book would be shallow. I was wrong. It was just starting.
