I'm tracking my reading on Goodreads as well as this blog and I will look at other people's reviews after I give mine. (sometimes before I start the book). My questions and thoughts on this are the following: 1. Why do some people feel the need to write a summary of the story as the … Continue reading A Side Post on the Romance Novel Marathon

Book Eight: “Soft Focus”
Jayne Ann Krentz' "Soft Focus" A cross between a mystery, murder and romance. The character build up was great, I really felt like I knew each personality and the way they reacted to situations fit nicely with who the writer created. Nice twist towards the end, I didn't expect the "who done it" to be … Continue reading Book Eight: “Soft Focus”
Book Seven: “Heart of the Sea”
Nora Roberts' "Heart of the Sea" Who wouldn't love a romance novel set in a sea side village in Ireland and has one supporting character that is a ghost and one that is a faerie prince? Come on! =) I love this book although there are definitely moments of ... Huh?... in it it's still … Continue reading Book Seven: “Heart of the Sea”
Book Six: “Yesterday”
Fern Michaels’ “Yesterday” Not what I would typically consider a romantic novel, in fact it is rather dark and has sad undertones throughout. An interesting story with a satisfying end. I will pass this book on though I did enjoy it. The characters growing up together under such odd circumstances and the author taking us … Continue reading Book Six: “Yesterday”
Book Five: “A Capital Holiday”
Janet Dailey's "A Capital Holiday" A very "G" rated romance novel with a Christmas-y twist. Perfect for a teen just getting into the romance genre. It's a short book with a quick, sweet story. This is the kind of story that ends up on Hallmark channel not Lifetime - if you know what I mean. … Continue reading Book Five: “A Capital Holiday”
Book Four: “Something Wonderful” by Judith McNaught
A raunchy fun read. Inner conflict, social turmoil, assassination attempts and sex. All good romance novel fun. I fully admit to being sucked in to this story for the last two days. Read in record breaking time, so far. I further admit to shirking my domestic duties to finish this one. >.< Judith certainly gets … Continue reading Book Four: “Something Wonderful” by Judith McNaught
Book Three; Jane Feather’s “Least Likely Bride”
Jane Feather’s “Least Likely Bride” Ahh here we go, took three to get there but the smut has arrived. 🙂 This is the quintessential aristocrat's daughter meets the only real "good" pirate on the seven seas and falls in love. Tawdry affair and swash buckling good times. This book is the reason I love romance … Continue reading Book Three; Jane Feather’s “Least Likely Bride”
Danielle Steel’s “The Ranch”
Book number two of the romance novels completed! I remember this story, it is one of my favorites but one I can part with. While the writing style is rather basic the three main characters drew me in. This is one of the books that I delve into because I can visualize the story. Somehow, … Continue reading Danielle Steel’s “The Ranch”
