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”

Kathryn Kramer's "Siren Song" Quite the different turn going with the old mining west.  Not incredibly believable but then it is a romance novel so that is expected.  I'd like to think something like this happened in the old mining towns. The most unbelievable part for me was her being a slim, sexy young woman.  … Continue reading Book 16: “Siren Song”

Margaret Moore's " The Wastrel" Ah Victorian England, a familiar setting for romance novels, this one is light hearted and good fun.  Enjoyed the character descriptions and brutal honesty of some personalities. Clara's defiance and education peeked the tiny feminist part of me that rarely rears it's head. The next book is Kathryn Kramer's "Siren Song"

Nora Roberts' "Divine Evil I really like the two sides of this story.  It's serious satanism scare along with the romance was a great combination.  I'm tempted to keep this one but think I'll unload it and perhaps pick it up as an ebook down the road. Intrigue, mystery, murder, family angst and troubles and … Continue reading Book 14: “Divine Evil”
