Wendy the Super Librarian‘s review of A Cowboy Comes Home (Colorado Cattle Barons, Book 1) by Barbara Dunlop Contemporary Romance published by Harlequin Desire 03 Jan 12 Books like this one seriously depress me.  On the surface, it has a lot going for it.  We have a sexy guy on the cover, a cowboy that [...]

Wendy the Super Librarian‘s review of Craving the Highlander’s Touch by Michelle Willingham Historical romance short story ebook published by Harlequin Historical Undone 01 Sep 11 As the Undone line has evolved, many authors have chosen to utilize the shorter format as a “teaser” for their full-length Harlequin Historical books.  Like all things concerning series [...]

Wendy the Super Librarian‘s review of The Queen’s Consort by Leia Rice Erotica short story ebook published by Spice Briefs 01 Jul 11 Pour a glass of wine into me and I’ll wax poetic about how erotica isn’t “just about sex.”  That in “good erotica,” written predominantly for a female readership, the sex is a [...]

Wendy the Super Librarian‘s review of The Unlikely Wife by Debra Ullrick Inspirational historical romance published by Love Inspired Historical 03 Jan 12 One of the reasons I like historical western romances is that I love heroines with a harder edge to them.  Granted, there were many civilized parts of the world that were unforgiving [...]

Wendy the Super Librarian‘s review of One Night as a Courtesan by Ann Lethbridge Historical Romance short story ebook published by Harlequin Historical Undone 01 Oct 10 I read a full-length “Regency” historical romance recently that had absolutely no sense of place.  It could have easily taken place on a Texas cattle ranch in 1968 [...]

Wendy the Super Librarian‘s review of One Wicked Christmas by Amanda McCabe Historical Romance short story ebook published by Harlequin Historical Undone 01 Nov 11 I always pick up books by Amanda McCabe because she never gives readers the same thing twice.  She’s done everything from the 15th century to the 1920s.  Any author who [...]

Wendy the Super Librarian‘s review of Another Chance by Portia Da Costa Erotic Romance short story ebook published by Spice Briefs 01 Sep 11 There is a definite skill in writing short, and some authors just seem to be born with it.  Portia Da Costa is one of these writers.  Yes, I’m reading a short [...]

Wendy the Super Librarian‘s review of The Playboy’s Gift by Teresa Carpenter Contemporary Romance published by Harlequin Romance 01 Nov 11 If any author is ever insane enough to ask my advice, it would be to write the best book you can at that moment in time.  Period.  Do not think about readers.  Why?  Because [...]

Anderson Contemporary Romance published by Harlequin Desire 29 Nov 11 Back when dinosaurs roamed the Earth, and I first discovered category romance, the Desire line was my favorite.  But then, over time, things changed.  Desire started morphing into what I call [...]

Wendy the Super Librarian‘s review of Rodeo Daddy by Soraya Lane Contemporary Romance published by Harlequin Romance 01 Nov 11 Note to Harlequin Authors: Yes, I will stoop to this level.  If I enjoyed your previous books, I’ll read your latest release – even if the Book Gods slap you with a cringe-worthy title and cover.  A fairly new [...]

Wendy the Super Librarian‘s review of Baby, Let It Snow by Beverly Jenkins & Elaine Overton Contemporary Romance published by Kimani Romance 18 Oct 11 I cannot say no to holiday-themed romances; and given the sheer volume that romance publishers churn out every year, it looks like I’m not the only reader with this affliction.  No line in [...]

Wendy the Super Librarian‘s review of Snowflakes and Stetsons by Jillian Hart, Carol Finch & Cheryl St. John Historical Western Romance anthology published by Harlequin Historical 20 Sep 11 There are certain universal truths when it comes to my romance reading: 1) I love category romance 2) I love westerns 3) I love Christmas-themed stories [...]

Wendy the Super Librarian‘s review of How A Cowboy Stole Her Heart by Donna Alward Contemporary Romance published by Harlequin Romance 04 Oct 11 In the pantheon of dippy titles slapped on romance novels, this one is pretty tame.  That said, it’s almost more annoying for me to find a generic title slapped on a story that is anything but, [...]

Wendy the Super Librarian‘s review of The Earl Takes a Lover by Georgia E.
