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.

Sandy M’s review of Her Mr. Right (The Wilder Family Miniseries) by Karen Rose Smith Contemporary Romance released by Silhouette Special Edition 1 May 08 I like a story whose characters stick by their convictions, right or wrong.

Devon’s review of The Millionaire’s Makeover by Lilian Darcy Contemporary Romance released 1 May 2008 by Silhouette Special Edition What does the “Makeover” of the title refer to?

Sandy M’s review of A Man in a Million by Jessica Bird Contemporary Romance published by Silhouette Special Edition 1 Jan 07 I really am addicted to Bird’s heroes.

Devon’s review of The Baby Plan by Kate Little Contemporary Romance released by Silhouette Special Edition 1 May 08 Oy vey, it’s time I gave in and embraced my love for baby/pregnancy books.

Devon’s review of Daddy on Call by Judy Duarte Contemporary Romance released by Silhouette Special Edition 1 Apr 07 Okay, so the title and cover of this book are pretty much the reason so many people scoff at Harlequins.
