Limecello’s review of The Tycoon’s Pregnant Mistress by Maya Banks
Contemporary romance released by Silhouette Desire on 13 Jan 09
I really like books in the Silhouette Desire Line. I also have a positive association with Maya Banks (even before I read her books, really). Thus it seemed natural that I like this book. And I [...]

Limecello’s review of Heart of Stone by Diana Palmer
Contemporary romance published by Silhouette on 1 Sep 08

The newest installment in the seemingly endless Long, Tall, Texan series, Heart of Stone doesn’t really stand out from the rest. If you’ve never read one of Diana Palmer’s books before, I’d encourage reading one of her other [...]

Limecello’s review of Billionaire’s Marriage Bargain by Leanne Banks
Contemporary romance published by Silhouette Desire on 12 Aug 08

I don’t know if I’ve mentioned it before, but Leanne Banks is one of my favorite Desire authors. She may be the one who first got me hooked on the line. I tend to enjoy both her [...]

Limecello’s review of Eye of the Tiger by Diana Palmer
Contemporary romance published by Silhouette on 1 Mar 86
Most of you know I like Diana Palmer’s books – and here, I’m going to try to explain. I will say, that this (along with Coltrain’s Proposal, yes) is one of my favorite books. I only have about [...]

Limecello’s review of Coltrain’s Proposal by Diana Palmer
Contemporary romance published by Silhouette 1 Aug 95
I recently acquired this book as part of a birthday trade, and I couldn’t be happier. I think I’ve made it clear that I enjoy Diana Palmer’s novels – there’s just something about them. The characters are fun and witty, [...]

I subscribe to the school of thought that all readers have their own personal crack addictions.
Mine?
Mail order bride stories where the bride finds herself getting more than she expected. Oh, like a groom who wasn’t expecting her, or a groom who has the nerve to die before her stagecoach/train arrive. What’s a poor [...]

Wendy the Super Librarian’s review of Western Weddings by Jillian Hart, Kate Bridges & Charlene Sands
Historical romance anthology released by Harlequin Historical 1 May 08
Many readers don’t care for anthologies because they can be wildly uneven affairs. I tend to think of them as my comfort reads. I find anthologies just the [...]

I confess.  I’ve been unfaithful.

Like a lot of readers I have a tendency to “collect” authors. Being a huge fan of the Harlequin Historical line, it should be no surprise then that I have several lengthy backlists sitting in my TBR pile. One of those authors is Jillian Hart, and it was during a conversation with Sybil a while [...]

Wendy the Super Librarian’s review of The Last Rake In London by Nicola Cornick
Historical romance released by Harlequin Historical 1 Jun 08
If one were to only study British history by way of romance novels it would be easy to deduce that all history of the island started in 1811 and ended in 1820. [...]

People are forever asking writers, “Where do you get your ideas?” And we look at them blankly, because we can’t comprehend the question. The reason for that is that we are inundated with ideas. Everything we see or hear or read sets our busy little minds to spinning.

Thanks to the generosity of Harlequin SuperRomance authors Debra Salonen and Ellen Hartman, we had several contest winners to close out our May Spotlight! Winners need to e-mail Wendy with their shipping address to receive their prizes. We hope everyone has enjoyed this Harlequin Spotlight, because we sure did have a great [...]

Wendy the Super Librarian’s review of His Secret Past by Ellen Hartman
Contemporary Romance released by Harlequin SuperRomance 01 May 2008
I love it when a book surprises me. Ellen Hartman’s second novel for Harlequin SuperRomance sounds like it’s a fluffy bit of escapist cotton candy. A hero who used to be a world [...]

When I was asked to contribute to The Good, The Bad, and The Unread this week, my topic was: Why do I love Superromance?
Easy Answer: The men.
Is that shallow? I know it’s shallow. Sorry. I can’t help myself. Have you read a Super? Then you know what I’m talking about.

Debra Salonen is one of the hardest working writers in the romance genre. Since the publication of her first book in 2000, she’s amassed an impressive back list and garnered a loyal following among Harlequin SuperRomance fans. May marks the publication of the first book in a new five-book series for the line that will [...]
