Sandy M’s review of The Soldier’s Baby Bargain (Home to Harbor Town, Book 5) by Beth Kery Contemporary Romance published by Silhouette Special Edition 18 Sep 12 I’ve been bemoaning the fact lately that I suddenly find myself behind on a number of favorite series. So even though I let this last book in Beth [...]

Dinca’s review of Claiming Colleen (Home to Harbor Town, Book 3) by Beth Kery Contemporary Romance published by Silhouette Special Edition 21 Feb 12 Beth Kery has kept all the characters in this series strong as always and very active in the storyline in Book 3 of Home to Harbor Town. For a family that [...]

Dinca’s review of Dancing in the Moonlight (Cold Creek Series, Book 2) by RaeAnne Thayne Contemporary Romance published by Silhouette Special Edition 1 May 06 I find myself back in Cold Creek with another RaeAnne Thayne novel. I would even stop to rest when I didn’t need to during daily chores so I could get in another [...]

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 [...]

Lynne Connolly‘s review of The Nanny Solution by Teresa Hill Contemporary romance released by Silhouette Special Edition 1 Feb 09 Another misleading title – there isn’t a nanny in this book, neither is the heroine ever employed on nanny duties. There isn’t even a baby, although there is a five year old (the heroine isn’t [...]

Holly‘s review of A Fortune Wedding by Kristin Hardy Contemporary romance released by Silhouette Special Edition 1 June 2009 I really tried to like this book. Two things marred my enjoyment: 1) the fact that I hadn’t read any of the previous books and 2) the heroine. There were many things that were referenced in [...]

Holly‘s review of The Doctor’s Surprise Family by Mary J. Forbes Contemporary romance released by Silhouette 1 May 09 I generally like the ‘reunited lovers’ plot line. Especially if the lovers in question were high school sweethearts. This is the third book in Forbes’ Home to Firewood Island series. I read the first two books [...]

Holly‘s review of The Bravo Bachelor by Christine Rimmer Contemporary Romance released by Silhouette Special Edition 1 Apr 09 I really love these “pregnant widow” stories. I don’t know why, exactly, since they often leave me feeling frustrated and annoyed (depending on the heroine’s feelings for her dead husband), but there you have it. Luckily [...]

Holly‘s review of Runaway Bride Returns! by Christie Ridgway Contemporary Romance released by Silhouette Special Edition 1 May 09 I’ve read several of Christie Ridgway’s full length novels and was curious about her categories as well. Although I was bothered by a few things, overall I enjoyed this just as much as the other novels [...]

Wendy the Super Librarian‘s review of A Texan On Her Doorstep by Stella Bagwell Contemporary romance released by Silhouette Special Edition 1 Mar 09 Ever begin reading a book and you’re immediately sucked into it? It’s emotional, it’s got a competent heroine, the hero is yummy beyond words, and the conflict is compelling and heartbreaking. [...]

Wendy the Super Librarian‘s review of The Texan’s Tennessee Romance by Gina Wilkins Contemporary romance released by Silhouette Special Edition 1 Feb 09 I fully admit that I tend to impulse buy category romance. With the shorter format, and a quicker turnaround reading time, I find it an excellent way to discover new-to-me-authors. Like a [...]
