Cynthia Wright’s “Spring Fires” I had a hard time putting this book down.  Dripping with romance and an indulgent storyline, this is my kind of romance novel.  I jumped in with both feet and my heart was all in till the end.  Happy endings, fairy take romance.  This kind of novel is why I had … Continue reading Book 30 “Spring Fires”

Eileen Goudge's "Garden of Lies" Quite a heavy story with romantic moments.  This is a long book as it covers the story of several different people who have a connection.  A good read but I'm ready for a light-hearted mushy romance now. The next book is:  Cynthia Wright's "Spring Fires"  

Lori Copeland's: "Avenging Angel" Pretty far fetched idea but the adventure was fun and her clumsy but stubborn character was something I identified with.  Integrating the James brothers into the story was a great twist.  I had a hard time putting this book down and read it in quick time. The next book is Eileen … Continue reading Book 28: “Avenging Angel”

Barbara Dawson Smith's: "Never A Lady" Back in medieval England, a guilty pleasure of mine.  A different twist to the cliche' of a nobleman falling for a commoner and throwing away convention.  The kidnapping twist was fun but I had the bad guy picked out right away, it was still a fun read though. =) … Continue reading Book 27 “Never A Lady”

Mollie Gregory's "Triplets" The author truly delves into each character to the extent that in the end I have no questions or feelings of anything left unexplained.  Also, enjoyed the old Hollywood timeline used - made this a nostalgic and exciting read for me. That she started with the history of the mother made this … Continue reading Book 26: “Triplets”

Aaron Fletcher's "Outback" Not a classic romance novel but covering the very rugged and different generations overseeing a homestead.   Though I missed a romantic feel, it is a good novel and the author depicts the characters as I could easily imagine them to have been during the time period this took place.  I appreciate this … Continue reading Book 25: “Outback”

Kimberly Cates’: “Magic” Where Jude Deveraux failed, Kimberly Cates knocks it out of the park!  Of course, I am a sucker for  Irish/Celtic legends so perhaps a bit biased but this story was much more epic and fabulous.  Though not believable Cates made me want to believe it could have been true. A bit excessive … Continue reading Book 24: “Magic”

Patricia Pellicane’s “Frontier Temptress” This book was ok, the storyline was good until she lost her hate, I don't buy that.    Also, don't buy that the Native Indians were so kind to her just because she had some spine and good looks.  The basic story was fun and adventurous. I had a hard time picturing … Continue reading Book 23: “Frontier Temptress”

Jude Deveraux’s: “A Knight in Shining Armor” Not my favorite by any means.  I usually like medieval stories but this one was a bit far fetched even for my imagination.   This is unfortunately one of the instances where I wish I hadn't read other people's reviews before starting the book.   The repetition using the character's … Continue reading Book 22: “A Knight in Shining Armor”

Ana Leigh’s:  “Sweet Enemy Mine” The neighboring clan feud in Scotland, half-hearted kidnappings that end up being love affairs.  What's not to love?  🙂  Truly enjoyed this one and it's nice to read about romance with a couple a little longer in the tooth even if they are kind of a sideline story.  One of … Continue reading Book 21: “Sweet Enemy Mine”
