Sandra Hill gives time travel and Vikings a rest and turns her hand to a contemporary romantic comedy with a touch of fantasy. The result, The Love Potion is her best since The Last Viking. The Love Potion is funny and fast-paced with one of her always-sexy heroes and a heroine who is sweet, smart…
I’ve read beautiful heroines and I’ve read plain ones but Jo Beverley did something in Forbidden that I’ve never encountered. She wrote a beautiful heroine who is pitiable precisely because she is so magnificent looking. This is some trick, but it’s not as hard to believe as one first thinks. Regardless of age or beauty,…
A few months ago, I had a brief online chat with author Karen Ranney after I had reviewed her last book, Upon a Wicked Time. She told me a bit about her upcoming release, My Beloved, and emphasized that she truly believed in the healing power of love to the point where her heroes always…
One of the great things about being a reviewer is that every once in awhile you read a book that makes you think, “My God, what a fantastic book!” I am happy to say that The Wedding Night made me think just that. The year is 1858 and Mairey Faelyn is continuing her father’s legacy….

And to think I almost put this book down because one of Beau Dupree’s first lines is: “The minute Jose Lee’s out the door though, I’m picking it up right where I left off. First thing I’m going to do is find me a little blond with big tits.” I am not at all fond…
Some readers may wonder why I do so many series romance reviews, but when I come across a special story, I want to make sure that credit is given where credit is due. Anne Stuart has been writing for many years. For me, however, she’s a new author, and one whom I find myself thoroughly…
Okay, I admit it … my introduction to Ms. Krentz was less than auspicious. I read Gift of Fire and Gift of Gold, and to be honest, I wasn’t crazy about either one. Still, something brought me back to Jayne Ann and I’ve not been disappointed. First of all, I like the way her main…
Avon refers to Kathleen E. Woodiwiss as “The Goddess of Romance” for good reason. Her groundbreaking historical romance, The Flame & the Flower, is a cherished keeper – one that resides prominently on many all-time favorite romance lists, including mine – despite the fact our beloved genre has come a long way since this novel…
