Joan Wolf is a major comfort read for me. I’ve read more of her books than just about any other romance author. And while all of her books have not been A’s for me, I have yet to encounter one that was terrible and several times she has approached near perfection. Beloved Stranger, a short…
Kasey Michaels’ Be My Baby Tonight was a fun surprise. I have read and enjoyed her traditional Regency Romances, but had never read one of her contemporary releases. So I requested to review this book without knowing much about it. I soon realized two things: the hero is a baseball player and the sport is…
When it comes to Susan Elizabeth Phillips, I absolutely love It Had to be You and Lady Be Good but I have had less luck with Nobody’s Baby But Mine and Dream a Little Dream. Still, like many of her fans, I have been looking forward to catching up with Molly Somerville and Kevin Tucker…
A famous, wealthy, fabulously attractive, professional football star driving down the road in his Aston Martin sees a sweaty woman marching down the side of the road in a beaver costume and decides to give her a ride. Attractive scenario – huh? It hardly inspired me to continue but this is, after all, Susan Elizabeth…
Honey is a sweet slice of late Victorian Americana. It deftly mixes comedy and angst and features a spunky (but ladylike) heroine and a strong (but tortured) hero along with a fine group of supporting characters. Best of all, for a sports lover like me, most of the book takes place during the baseball season…
Heaven, Texas is the second book in Susan Elizabeth Phillips’ football series, all of which can be read independently from one another. The first book in her football series is It Had To Be You, continues with Nobody’s Baby But Mine, and finishes with Dream a Little Dream. Personally, I do not like football. I…
Dream A Little Dream is my very first Susan Elizabeth Phillips. Have I been living under a rock somewhere? In a manner of speaking, I guess I have, but it’s pretty comfy under here, with no controversy to speak of. Which brings me what I anticipate will be an unpopular assessment of the very popular…
Ever put a book down with the intention of finishing it and then just letting it sit there for weeks on end until finally, you tell yourself you’re gonna finish the story, no matter what? Well, that’s what I did with Susan Elizabeth Phillips’ Dream A Little Dream and now I’m kicking myself that I…
I always like a book that’s a little different from the norm and although this is an older book, if you get an opportunity to find it in a used bookstore, grab it and run with it. It’s well worth your time. Patrick O’Casey is a jock – big time. He’s been a quarterback for…
My brain is full of factoids. That makes me a great Jeopardy player but it’s kind of frustrating because sometimes I can’t remember where I read a certain thing. Anyway, I read somewhere that editors of romance novels think readers don’t like books about athletes. Well editors, this reader loves them, but they are darn…
