When I read Heart of the West for the first time three years ago, I was not aware that I had a romance in my hands. Nor did I expect to become so engrossed in the book that I could not think of anything else for days. Re-reading it again for this review only confirmed…
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…
Susan Johnson achieves emotional involvement along with hot, hot sexuality in this historical. Although we associate this author with the latter quality in all of her books, we rarely use the term emotional when describing her work. In Outlaw, Johnson successfully portrays a deep emotional involvement between the hero and heroine without sacrificing any of…
I just finished Carla Kelly’s Summer Campaign and have to spread the news to the few who haven’t had the joy of meeting Onyx and Jack; those of you who’ve already read it can sit back and say, “what took her so long?” Simply put, there has seldom been a hero and heroine who more…
Too Hot to Handle just hurts so good. Know what I mean? The hero is very nearly a total S.O.B.; the heroine subjected to torture nearly beyond belief.

The main story is the reunion of Nick Maddux and his former wife Lisa Alvarez. Nick and Lisa were married eight years ago and were deeply in love. When…
Some readers love books that are emotionally intense. I am not one of them, but if I were, Barbara Freethy would be on the top of my list. One True Love is a beautifully written book about two people who have been through an experience that any parent who loves his or her newborn has…
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…
This is the first book of Judith Duncan’s Wide Open Spaces series, and I feel it’s a book that’s not to be missed. Tanner McCall is a half-breed Native Canadian, living on a ranch just outside Bolton, Alberta. Now, that might not mean anything to anybody else, but to me, it’s a real town in…
