Dinca’s review of A Mother’s Homecoming by Tanya Michaels Contemporary Romance published by Harlequin American Romance 2 Aug 11 If you like a lot of “the way we were and could be again” in your story, this book might be for you. At first it read like an autobiography of a recovering alcoholic which is not [...]

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 Marriage by Solution by Megan Kelly Contemporary Romance published by Harlequin American Romance 3 May 11 This is a good story with singles, family, and no whining – even from the kids. I thoroughly enjoyed this tale and it is believable to boot. Megan Kelly does a wonderful job of setting the stage [...]

Dinca’s review of The Cowboy’s Triplets (Callahan Cowboys, Book 1) by Tina Leonard Contemporary Romance published by Harlequin American Romance 3 May 11 This story is a disaster waiting to happen and I am looking forward to all of them. There is a lot of plot planning for the saga that keeps the storyline going and [...]

C2’s review of The Darkest Secret (Lords of the Underworld, Book 7) by Gena Showalter Paranormal Romance published by HQN 29 March 11 Gena Showalter’s Lords of the Underworld series has a very interesting basis, I’ve always thought.  In her world, Pandora’s Box held demons and when the demons were released, rather than all flying [...]

Dinca’s review of Texas-Sized Temptation by Sara Orwig Contemporary Romance published by Harlequin 3 May 11 Sara Orwig is a delightful story teller. I look forward to her books, and Texas-Sized Temptation is no exception. You will find a few surprises along the way and a wonderful ending, which, of course, includes happily ever after.

LynneC’s review of The Forbidden Innocent by Sharon Kendrick Contemporary Romance published by Mills and Boon Modern Romance 1 Jan 11 When Kate Hewitt told me that Cathy Williams’ In Want of a Wife?, based on Pride and Prejudice, is actually not the first in the series of adaptations of popular romantic classics, I had [...]

LynneC’s review of  To Tempt A Sheikh by Olivia Gates category novel released by Silhouette Desire Feb 11 I generally enjoy Olivia Gates’s books. A couple haven’t resonated with me but the ones she’s written for the Silhouette Desire line are treats. Lush treats. This book starts more like a romantic suspense. The hero, Harres, [...]

Dinca’s Review Private Parts by Tori Carrington Harlequin Blaze published by Harlequin 16 Nov 2010  The third time or fourth in this case is not always the charm.  I for one am glad this is the end to the Private Scandals Series.

LynneC’s review of Trial By Desire by Courtney Milan Historical Romance released by HQN Books 01 September 10 Courtney Milan has written a highly enjoyable book that almost sold me on the Victorian era. I dislike the Victorian era. It’s a personal prejudice, born of many things, but mainly the namby-pamby, hypocritical way they went [...]

Dinca’s review of The Good Provider by Debra Salonen Contemporary Romance published by Harlequin SuperRomance 12 Oct 10 The Good Provider has it all. A stronger-than-she-realizes heroine, a sensitive, caring hero, a believable asinine jerk, and an obnoxious soon-to-be ex-mother-in law, all which add up to a good read. This story has most everything in [...]

Wendy the Super Librarian‘s review of Hot to Touch by Kimberly Kaye Terry Contemporary Romance published by Kimani Romance 16 Nov 10 I have my core group of auto-buy authors, but category romance is the one sub genre where I still gleefully impulse buy.  It doesn’t take a brain surgeon to figure out how Hot [...]

Dinca’s review of A Cold Creek Baby by RaeAnne Thayne Contemporary Romance published by Silhouette Special Edition 1 Oct 10 I can feel the tenderness and heartache in this story as if it is real. The anguish and compassion and love vibrate off the pages. RaeAnne Thayne gives us a story of love and honor, and no matter [...]

Dinca’s review of A Thunder Canyon Christmas by RaeAnne Thayne Contemporary Romance published by Harlequin Special Edition 16 Nov 10 This book has it all. RaeAnne Thayne does a wonderful job of including the town gossip, the want and need of two people finding their way, and the family disasters that keep piling up on Elise [...]

Dinca’s review of Until He Met Rachel by Debra Salonen Contemporary Romance published by Harlequin SuperRomance 11 May 10 Debra Salonen has a hit with the mysterious Rufus Miller. I had a hard time not taking a peek ahead while reading, but I just didn’t want to miss anything. With one misconception after another, these [...]
