Manga Classics has a great track record with me – I have DIK’d their Emma, Sense and Sensibility, and Jane Eyre – so I was excited to see that they were trying Anne of Green Gables. And they didn’t let me down! This fun, energetic visual rendering of a classic story will satisfy long-time Anne…
Book five in the Auckland Med series (I’m not sure it’s the last one?), You Are Cordially Invited is ‘The One With the Wedding’ – although it’s much more than a fluffy wedding short – in which everyone’s favourite, fabulous, feisty Charge Nurse, Cam Wano, ties the knot with the love of his life, Reuben…
You Have a Match is a young adult romance that follows a teenage girl discovering a secret older sister and opening herself up to love over the course of one summer. It’s a funny, dramatic and emotional read that covers a lot of ground, from found family and adoption to finding your path as a…
There’s nothing wrong with the plot of Temporary Wife Temptation, which is probably why it’s been used by a lot of other authors in a lot of similar books. Almost-CEO Garrett Song needs to win the approval of the board of Hansol, Inc – including, most importantly, his grandmother – to get that final promotion….
Pain Slut is the second novel, in the Subs Club series by J.A. Rock. I did read the first, The Subs Club, and although it improves the reading experience in some ways, Pain Slut can be read as a stand-alone. Miles is a handsome, serious man and a masochist, in that he is part of…
I really want to love Jill Shalvis’ books. Contemporary romance is my favorite genre, so I am always looking for new authors. In the interest of full disclosure, this is not the first book that I have tried by her that hasn’t quite worked for me. So, why try again? People who like the same…
Janice Kay Johnson has written some of my favorite series romances, so I begin each one with high expectations. Match Made in Court did not disappoint, capturing my interest from the first page. Within a few paragraphs of reading about the hero and heroine, I felt that I knew and liked them both. Linnea Sorenson…
Although there are few romances I’ve come across with a celebrity as a leading man, I find the premise an attractive one. Do I want to read about an egomaniac who is intent on being famous? Not really. But give me a male celebrity retiring from the game and I’m willing to give it a…
A Gentle Rain is a pleasing blend of contemporary romance and women’s fiction and is a delightfully heartwarming story of a woman’s struggle to find herself after her world is turned upside down and finding love along the way. Plus, it’s set in the south and I’m always a little partial to a southern setting…
Lori Foster’s latest, Simon Says was a pretty ho-hum read which would have been soon forgotten if not for the hero. What made me ultimately decide to it give a better grade than I normally would is all due to the character of Simon Evans. It’s been a long time since I read such a…
