REVIEW: The Millionaire’s Blackmail Bargain by Heidi Rice
Sunday, March 21, 2010 1:01 No CommentsLynneC’s review of The Millionaire’s Blackmail Bargain by Heidi Rice
Contemporary Romance published by Harlequin Presents 11 Mar 08
In the UK, this was called The Mile High Club. A much better title for this book, far more memorable and distinctive.
Often, when I read an okay book, I decide not to review it, because, honestly, it’s much [...]
REVIEW: The Italian’s Defiant Mistress by India Grey
Friday, March 19, 2010 0:05 4 Comments Limecello’s review of The Italian’s Defiant Mistress by India Grey
Contemporary romance released by Harlequin Presents 1 Oct 07
I’ve been going through a reading slump for the longest time. This is why I love categories, because I can generally manage to power through them. Admittedly, I struggled through this book – but I have a [...]
REVIEW: Prince of Montéz, Pregnant Mistress by Sabrina Philips
Friday, March 5, 2010 1:00 5 CommentsLiviania’s review of Prince of Montéz, Pregnant Mistress by Sabrina Philips
Contemporary romance released by Harlequin Presents 1 Jan 10
This was my first Harlequin Presents. I know from the other duckies (and reviews elsewhere) that this line is a bit of a crapshoot, often full of doormats and borderline abusive men. And yet, I picked this [...]
REVIEW: Bought: Damsel In Distress by Lucy King
Sunday, February 28, 2010 1:00 2 CommentsLynne Connolly’s review of Bought: Damsel In Distress by Lucy King
Contemporary romance released by Harlequin Presents 1 Jan 10
A goodie. Even the title, if taken ironically, isn’t too bad. The blurb, however, is pretty dire.
REVIEW: His Bought Mistress by Emma Darcy
Thursday, February 25, 2010 1:00 1 CommentLynne Connolly’s review of His Bought Mistress by Emma Darcy
Contemporary romance released by Harlequin Presents 1 Jan 05
Mistress – faugh. Doesn’t suit this book, unless it’s meant ironically. Meant ironically, it works better, because Angie so doesn’t want to be a bought mistress.
REVIEW: Desert Prince, Blackmailed Bride by Kim Lawrence
Sunday, February 21, 2010 1:00 No CommentsLynne Connolly’s review of Desert Prince, Blackmailed Bride by Kim Lawrence
Contemporary romance released by Harlequin Presents 1 Nov 09
Another daft title, but a bit more accurate than some I’ve read recently, where the title seems to have been drawn out of a hat.
I enjoyed this one. Like most HMB’s it suffers from the shoehorn aspect, [...]
REVIEW: The Multi-Millionaire’s Virgin Mistress by Cathy Williams
Monday, February 15, 2010 1:00 1 CommentLynne Connolly’s review of The Multi-Millionaire’s Virgin Mistress by Cathy Williams
Contemporary Romance released by Harlequin Presents 9 Feb 10
First the title. The heroine isn’t a virgin at the start of the story, although well before the story has started, she has given him her virginity. And she’s nineteen. In the Prologue, they are both students [...]
REVIEW: Mistress: Hired for the Billionaire’s Pleasure by India Grey
Wednesday, February 10, 2010 1:00 3 Comments Limecello’s review of Mistress: Hired for the Billionaire’s Pleasure by India Grey
Contemporary romance released by Harlequin Presents 10 Feb 09
The first thing I have to say, is that the title is ridiculous, and wrong. In fact, the title is pretty much the opposite of what the story is about. But, what can you do [...]
REVIEW: The Spanish Duke’s Virgin Bride by Chantelle Shaw
Friday, February 5, 2010 1:00 1 CommentLynne Connolly’s review of The Spanish Duke’s Virgin Bride by Chantelle Shaw
Contemporary romance released by Harlequin Presents 01 Nov 07
I think there’s a conspiracy afoot. This is the second Beauty and the Beast story I’ve read recently that fails spectacularly, the other being Jennie Lucas’ The Innocent’s Dark Seduction.
REVIEW: Marriage at the Millionaire’s Command by Anne Oliver
Friday, January 22, 2010 1:00 2 CommentsLynneC’s review of Marriage at the Millionaire’s Command by Anne Oliver
Contemporary Romance published by Harlequin Presents 1 Jun 08
Yes, another stupid title.
This is Anne Oliver’s debut book for HMB, and in some ways it shows. The hero is a musician, but in order to bring him into the Presents line, he’s also a tycoon. The [...]
REVIEW: The Italian Billionaire’s Secretary Mistress by Sharon Kendrick
Sunday, January 10, 2010 1:00 6 Comments Limecello’s review of The Italian Billionaire’s Secretary Mistress by Sharon Kendrick
Contemporary romance released by Harlequin Presents 1 Jan 10
Yes, I hate the title. Yes, the image at the top of Sharon Kendrick’s website creeps me out. But. Yes, I love the secretary-boss romance. Maybe because I don’t in real life, so the fictional hook [...]
REVIEW: Count Toussaint’s Pregnant Mistress by Kate Hewitt
Wednesday, January 6, 2010 1:00 5 CommentsLynne Connolly’s review of Count Toussaint’s Pregnant Mistress by Kate Hewitt
Contemporary Romance released by Mills & Boon 18 Dec 09
Another appalling title and a daft blurb as well, because it doesn’t address the real story. The blurb doesn’t discuss a book that I ever read. So here’s my take on it.
Luc is mired in depression, [...]
REVIEW: The Billionaire’s Marriage Mission by Helen Brooks
Saturday, January 2, 2010 1:00 No Comments Lynne Connolly’s review of The Billionaire’s Marriage Mission by Helen Brooks
Contemporary romance released by Harlequin Presents 1 Feb 08
The heroine, Beth, has been deceived by her ex husband in a big way, so she’s sensibly taken time off work and rented a cottage in the country so she can take it easy and recover. [...]
REVIEW: Powerful Italian, Penniless Housekeeper by India Grey
Thursday, December 31, 2009 13:00 No Comments Limecello’s review of Powerful Italian, Penniless Housekeeper by India Grey
Contemporary romance released by Harlequin Presents 1 Jan 10
This is my first book by India Grey, and it definitely won’t be the last. I used to like Harlequin Presents the most as a Harlequin line, but it got to be a bit too much for [...]
REVIEW: One Night Mistress… Convenient Wife by Anne McAllister
Thursday, December 10, 2009 1:00 Comments Off Limecello’s review of One Night Mistress… Convenient Wife by Anne McAllister
Contemporary romance published by Harlequin Presents on 1 Nov 2009
One Night Mistress… Convenient Wife is one of those books you want to read, but don’t because you’re embarrassed of the title. That’s why you can order harlequin books online… or get them electronically. Anyway, [...]
