REVIEW: A Mother’s Wish by Karen Templeton

August 15, 2008

Book Cover Wendy the Super Librarian's review of A Mother's Wish by Karen Templeton
Contemporary Romance released by Silhouette Special Edition (#1916) 1 Aug 08

Every year I always manage to discover at least one new-to-me author. Sometimes it's from picking up a book that's been languishing in my To Be Read pile, but often times it happens thanks to recommendations from other online readers. Sybil turned me on to Karen Templeton earlier this year, and I'm still trying to come up with a proper thank you. This is now the fourth book by Templeton that I've read, and like the previous three, it's a real gem. Read more

EXCERPT SSE: Baby, I’m Yours by Karen Templeton

April 10, 2008

Baby, I'm Yours by Karen TempletonAs you know, I have really enjoyed Karen Templeton's last few novels and her latest trilogy is amazing. I want to put the entire Guys & Daughters series (Dear Santa, Yours, Mine...or Ours? and Baby, I'm Yours) into every readers hand and say, "Forget what you 'know' or think you know about Harlequin, romance novels, Silhouette Special Edition. If you have never tried the line, start here."

It's that good.

EXCERPT: Yours, Mine…or Ours by Karen Templeton

April 9, 2008

Yours, Mine...or Ours by Karen Templeton Yours, Mine...or Ours is book two in Karen Templeton's Guys & Daughters series (Dear Santa, Yours, Mine...or Ours? and Baby, I'm Yours). It came out in January 2008. So I am sure you have already read it.

Right? But just in case you missed it. It has a great take on a young man who knocks up his teenage girlfriend, is ready to do the right thing and she takes off. Leaving him to raise the kid. Only he is still a kid himself - something more than a few of readers can prolly relate to.

Review: Yours, Mine… or Ours? by Karen Templeton

February 6, 2008

Yours, Mine...or Ours by Karen TempletonHolly's review of Yours, Mine... or Ours? (Guys & Daughters, Book 2) by Karen Templeton
Contemporary romance released 1 Jan 08 by Harlequin Silhouette

After reading Dear Santa, I was anxious to read this book. Not as anxious as I am to read Kevin's book, but close enough.  Once again Karen Templeton has brought us an emotionally charged novel that gripped me right from the beginning. I think I just found a new auto-buy author. Read more

Review: Dear Santa by Karen Templeton

Book CoverHolly's review of Dear Santa by Karen Templeton
Contemporary romance published 01 Nov 07 from Silhouette Special Edition

Do you ever read a book and think, "Wow!"? Ever finish it and sigh and think to yourself, "I loved that book"? That's what happened to me with this one. I admit to loving category romance, at least on occasion (I feel you can overdose on them, too, if you aren't careful), but lately they've been hit or miss for me. This one was a definite hit.
