Gwen’s review of Never Romance a Rake (Neville Family Trilogy, Book 3) by Liz Carlyle Historical romance released by Pocket 22 Jul 08 I enjoy breaking up my urban fantasy and contemporary reading with a nice, refreshing historical.  I tend to the “heavier” historicals and try to avoid “teh funny” as much as possible.  This [...]

Holly‘s review of The Daddy Audition by Cindi Myers a(caution – sound on the site) Contemporary romance released by Harlequin American Romance 14 Jul 09 I enjoyed the basic premise of this story: heroine leaves to pursue her dreams and leaves high school sweetheart behind. Now she’s back and so is their attraction. 

Holly’s review of Taming the Texas Tycoon by Katherine Garbera (author’s site very out of date) Contemporary Romance released by Silhouette Desire 14 Jul 09 I liked this story on a superficial level. If I start examining the motives or actions of the main characters I have major issues. As a fluff story – something [...]

Holly‘s review of Texas Wedding by Kathleen O’Brien Contemporary Romance released by Harlequin SuperRomance 14 Jul 09 I’m still formulating my thoughts about this one. I generally enjoy the reunited lovers plot line, but this couple was bitter and angry. 

Holly‘s review of Burn by Linda Howard Romantic Suspense released by Ballantine 7 July 09 I’ve been disappointed in most of Linda Howard’s more recent releases, but I was pleasantly surprised with this one. It reminded me quite a bit of All the Queen’s Men. Kind of light on the romance and heavy on the [...]

Limecello’s review of Taming the Texas Tycoon by Katherine Garbera Contemporary romance published by Silhouette Desire on 14 July 2009 Katherine Garbera is a harlequin author I always keep an eye out for. I really enjoy her Silhouette Desire books, and Taming the Texas Tycoon was no exception. It also has one of my favorite [...]

Holly‘s review of Inherited: One Child by Day Leclaire Contemporary romance released by Silhouette Desire 14 Jul 09 I’m always looking for new authors to try when I browse eHarlequin.com and the blurb for this one caught my eye. I’m glad I picked it up, because it turned out to be a good read. This [...]

C2’s review of Beauty and the Duke by Melody Thomas Historical romance released by Avon 28 Jul 09 We’ve all been there, haven’t we, faithful reader, when we’re in the mood for a certain type of book? A certain type of character or a certain type of plot is what we want. Well, Beauty and [...]

C2’s review of The Infamous Rogue by Alexandra Benedict Historical romance, released 28 July 2009 by Avon What’s a pirate to do when he can no longer scour the seas for booty? *Heh. Booty.* Captain James Hawkins was once the infamous pirate Black Hawk. He and his brothers sailed the seas, preying on whatever ships [...]

Holly‘s review of Make Me Yours by Betina Krahn Historical romance released by Harlequin Blaze 1 July 2009 Before I go into my review, I have to tell you that it annoys the crap out of me that the Blaze line now includes historical and paranormal novels. In the past Blaze has always been sexy, [...]

Holly‘s review of Magnate’s Make-Believe Mistress by Bronwyn Jameson Contemporary Romance released by Silhouette Desire 14 July 2009 I don’t believe I’ve read many (if any) book by Bronwyn Jameson before. The name sounds familiar, but I’m not sure if that’s because I’ve heard it from others (most likely Wendy) or from my own experience. [...]

Harlequin Blaze is one of my favorite category lines (no surprise the other is Silhouette Desire), and I’ve also enjoyed Rhonda Nelson and Lori Borril’s previous books, so buying these three books made perfect sense. For Ms. Nelson, I love her military heroes, and was very intrigued by the premise of each book. For Ms. [...]

[...]

Sandy M’s review of Deeper by Megan Hart Paranormal Romance released by Harlequin Spice 1 Jul 09 I received this book in e-format to review, and because I like reading Megan Hart, I didn’t bother getting online to read a blurb or except about it. Therefore, I knew nothing about it when I started reading. [...]
