Badge of Honor is the fifth in Justine Davis’ Trinity Street West series, a series which has revolved around the men and women who risk their lives and hearts while working in a very special police precinct. The series has been terrific far, and this entry is no different – it is a stirring tale…
Bad Karma is about a psychic. Wait, don’t run away yet. It’s by Theresa Weir, and it avoids the usual cliches. How often do you read a paranormal novel where the psychic pretends to be a fraud? Or a romance novel where the heroine has an eating disorder? The small town of Egypt, Missouri has…
Paula Detmer Riggs is one writer who has never disappointed me. I have all of her Silhouette category novels and have enjoyed each and every one of them. When I read one of her books, I know I can expect a story that engages me and characters who are memorable. Taming the Night is a…
For those of you who, like me, were disappointed in Remember When, Judith McNaught’s last book, you’ll be glad to know she is back in form again with Night Whispers. Sloan Reynolds is a detective on the Bell Harbor Police Force. Suddenly, she gets a call from the father she hasn’t seen in 30 years…
Karen Robards is a very uneven writer. Some of her earlier books are old-fashioned bodice rippers at their worst. In her most recent book, The Senator’s Wife, main character Ronnie Honneker is a selfish, greedy, air-headed, little twit and I’m being kind to describe her in those terms! But in 1995, Ms Robards published Walking…
Please do not make the mistake of looking at the cover of A Perfect Hero with its picture of three adorable toddlers and a teddy bear with a Whose Child? blurb on it and say, “Oh no, another secret baby book!” Yes, there are secret babies in this book, but there is so much more!…
New Orleans and the Cajun country of Louisiana, are the background for Michelle Jerott’s Golden Heart Award-winning book, Absolute Trouble, and a wonderful book it is. Absolute Trouble has a wounded heroine, a bad boy hero, a drug-dealing slug of a villain, and some great supporting characters. Mix all these with a fast-paced plot and…
This book is not the standard romance; it’s actually a mystery. But it’s a book that nobody should miss out on. It’s that good! Picture New Orleans in the summer; hot, humid, sultry, murderous and you’ve got the makings of one heck of a story. Karen Whitlaw is our heroine, and she’s exactly as you’d…
Ah, those sexy, slow-handed Southern men. First, there was Dane Hollister in Dream Man; and now there’s Marc Chastain in Kill and Tell. Being a Northern girl, I’m beginning to think I’ve been missing something – and I’ll bet you Southern gals know what that is, too. “Nooawlins” – that’s New Orleans to you and…
Catherine Anderson has written an exciting contemporary novel in Forever After. I must warn you that it is not for the squeamish. There is violence in the book, along with strong language and descriptions of the emotional and sexual abuse of Meredith, the heroine, that were almost painful to read. On the plus side, Forever…
