A DIKlassic review! (originally published on January 25, 1997) Splendid is a splendidly, witty, wicked, and sexy read. I liken Splendid to Seinfeld. Just as Jerry, Kramer, Elaine, and George can spend a half hour entertaining us while doing essentially nothing, Julia Quinn”s debut novel is a delightful romp with very little in the way…
The last book of this series, Sisterhood Everlasting, is on sale for 1.99. We’ve given very few A+ reviews at AAR–we thought it would be fun to republish this one. It’s for the first four books in the five book series. A DIKlassic review originally published on March 28, 2007 Sitting down to write a…
The first time I read The Bride, I was captivated by Alec and Jamie’s story. I refused to put the book down and I ended up reading it in record time. Wild horses could not have dragged me away from this book. Many people I’ve met still list The Bride as not only their favorite…

We all dream at one time or another of that handsome knight riding in on a white charger and rescuing us, but did you know that there really are modern day knights out there, just ready to rescue that damsel in distress? Meet…
An AAR Top 100 Romance originally published on April 8, 1997 As a rule, when I discover an author, I try to read her entire backlist. I thought I had done so with Judith McNaught until a friend suggested A Kingdom Of Dreams. As a huge fan of Whitney, My Love, I was excited to…
An AAR Top 100 Romance originally published on August 23, 2001 I discovered romance novels when I was 13 years old when my aunt gave me a large paper bag full of books. In this bag I found one book with pages yellowed from time and its front cover worn clean off. I decided this…
An AAR Top 100 Romance originally published on March 4, 2003 Connie Brockway is a goddess. Talk about your buried treasures; while many people are familiar with her more recent historicals – The Bridal Season and Bridal Favors – her unique skill and imagination most shine through for me in some of her earlier stories….
A DIKlassic Review originally published on March 6, 2000 The books in the Mackenzie saga are among Linda Howard’s best, where the men are capable, sexy as hell, and the heroines a perfect match in their own way. Mackenzie’s Heroes deals with two of the children of Wolf and Mary Mackenzie from Mackenzie’s Mountain. Mackenzie’s Pleasure is…
A DIKlassic Review originally published on May 29, 2003 This is such a wonderful and engaging book! I always forget how much I enjoy Suzanne Enoch until I read another of her books. London’s Perfect Scoundrel features two incredible lead characters who change for the better over the course of the story – it was…
A DIKlassic review originally published on November 29, 2001 There’s definitely something about Mary, Aunt Mary that is. Aunt Mary is the Internet advice columnist who is known as Maralys O’Reilly in real life. She may be my favorite heroine of any book I’ve read this year. With Maralys as narrator, this quirky, funny book…
