Brenda Joyce’s: “Innocent Fire” Mostly a good story, interesting time period in America and good descriptions.  I was getting frustrated with her prudeness, I have to admit.  Which likely is what the author was going for.  The feeling of frustration for the girl and because of her at the same time. I'd read this one … Continue reading Book 40: “Innocent Fire”

Johanna Lindsey’s: “Prisoner of My Desire” I am a sucker for medieval time romances and this one was juicy.  I can't recall any slow moving parts or dull moments.  This is a win in my opinion. The next book is: Brenda Joyce's: "Innocent Fire"

Emilie Richards: “Lady of the Night” Amnesia sucks, specially when someone's out to kill you.  Good thing there's a sexy Doctor there to make you feel better. =P  A fun mystery romance.  I like the length, if it was a longer story it would maybe drag out.  This was quick, fun and full of what's … Continue reading Book 38: “Lady of the Night”

Nancy Kelly’s “Tangled” I'm starting to get annoyed at what is qualifying as a Romance Novel at this point.  There was absolutely nothing romantic about this book until the very last couple of pages.  Before that we read about physical abuse, sexual abuse, mental and emotional abuse and the torment that follows after a crime … Continue reading Book 37: “Tangled”

Johanna Lindsey’s “Say You Love Me” Oh the scandal of it all!   The next book is Nancy Kelly's "Tangled"

Rexanne Becnel’s “Thief of My Heart” Deliciously combative and sensual.  I read most of this while on a road trip to my parent's house and back home.  Wonderful.  The female main character is head strong and I love her sense of honor and loyalty.  The male has the same but with a different edge.  Values … Continue reading Book 35: “Thief of My Heart”

Madeline Hale’s “Daughters of the Sun” My goodness, talk about inheriting a crazy gene.  These women take the cake on dysfunctional.  I'm not sure what the title of the book has to do with it though and was hoping somewhere in it there would be a link to why she titled it so.  The daughters … Continue reading Book 34: “Daughters of the Sun”

Victoria Holt’s “The Shivering Sands” Murder mystery and romance, not bad but the conversations left me a bit bewildered.  Maybe it was the author's way of depicting how they spoke in the time period but it was hard to follow.  Otherwise, a decent read. The next book is: Madeline Hale's "Daughters of the Sun"

Jennifer West’s “Tender Is the Knight” A strange romantic character for me, I had a hard time finding him very attractive, maybe it was the armor and love of medieval age that threw me for a loop.  Normally I don't equate this to a man, it's usually women who romanticize the period.  Otherwise, it was … Continue reading Book 32: “Tender Is The Knight”

Johanna Lindsey’s “Surrender My Love” I loved this story, strong characters and Viking women with tenacity.    Great time period in history and the author's descriptions created a movie in my imagination which is indulgent for me. The next book is: Jennifer West's "Tender Is the Knight"
