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”

Sandra Brown's: "Mirror Image" A pretty far fetched idea yet the author reasoned out every contingency and made it entirely possible for a woman to find herself in this dire situation.  Intrigue and the who's gonna do it of it all was fun and kept me guessing a bit. Good stuff. The next book is:  … Continue reading Book 20: “Mirror Image”

Eugenia Riley’s: “Rogue’s Mistress” Brilliant good story telling fun!  I remembered reading this before and enjoyed it just as much.  Though I do get frustrated with books like this where I end up silently screaming at the characters to just tell each other they love them and move on.  But then we would miss all … Continue reading Book 19: “Rogue’s Mistress”

Sue Miller's "For Love" Was extremely painful to read.  The amount of reminiscing she does in this story is just too much to take.  I had to force myself to finish this book, at about half way I wanted to throw it from my balcony.  Even the one sex scene felt disjointed and rather unfeeling.  … Continue reading Book 18: “For Love”

Catherine Coulter's "Warrior's Song" My guilty pleasure in a romance novel.  Castles, Knights, Ladies, defiance, love.  I'm a sucker for a good story about a tom-boy who is forced out of her comfort zone, specially in the old England time period. Granted, some of the words and phrases used by Ms. Coulter in the story … Continue reading Book 17: “Warrior’s Song”
