I’ve seen Merline Lovelace’s name on bestseller lists for years but never got around to reading her books. But I love contemporary romances with foreign settings and when I saw ”I Do”… Take Two! is set in Italy I jumped at the chance to review it. I found this first in the author’s Three Coins…
There’s one thing to be said for Harlequin book titles – they’re very much WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) – so the hero of Rake Most Likely to Seduce, the third book in Bronwyn Scott’s Rakes on Tour series, is pretty much just that – a man who likes his drink, his…
I love it when a book captures my interest and just doesn’t let go as this one did. I found myself reluctant to put it down and anxious to pick it up even though I was extremely busy with other things. To me that means I’ve encountered a really terrific read. In a small resale…

Although Let it Be Me is billed as the fifth in a series of books and features the Forrester family from If I Fall, I don’t think it’s necessary to have read that book or the others in the series in order to enjoy this one – and enjoy it, I did. The heroine of…
There was sufficient buzz surrounding Juliana Gray’s “debut” novel (she writes under a different name) that I was particularly excited to review A Gentleman Never Tells. I haven’t read the first book in the trilogy, but this second novel lives up to the author’s reputation. Six years ago, Lord Roland Penhallow’s life was great. He…
I’ve been a fan of Tasha Alexander’s Lady Emily series since Emily’s first appearance in And Only to Deceive. Emily has gone through a lot of changes and solved many mysteries since then. The latest entry finds Lady Emily and her husband Colin in Venice to investigate a recent murder. However, classical scholar Emily is…
Have you ever wondered what people did before the number zero? It has always existed, right? Not so. Changeling is about a world where zero is just starting to exist and to open up whole new worlds for people – and that is a fascinating adventure to be a part of. Luca is known as…
