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"

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”
