Lord Savage by Mia Gabriel – Hot and Heavy Regency Romance
Lord Savage comes with a warning of explicit content and certainly lives up to it. Fans of the ‘temptation’ series will love this book. The plot or story is predictable enough, but it is what goes in between (er, pun intended?) that will keep you awake at night! Evelyn Hart is an American heiress. Even…

Ride the Rainbow Home by Susan Aylworth: Book Review
Ride the Rainbow Home has a cover depicting a girl sitting at the edge of a canyon. One that looked much like the Grand Canyon. The Arizona setting drew me in. And it turned out to be a good story. Ride the Rainbow Home is like a Hallmark movie. I cannot really explain what that…

The Mad Herringtons by Jane Myers Perrine: Book Review
The Mad Herringtons are a large quirky family who do as they please. Their whimsies are the talk of the ton, and nothing they do surprises the gentry. This Regency romance is refreshing because it shows a more human and humorous side of the ‘toffs’. Aphrodite Herrington is the changeling of the Herringtons. Her whole…

A Wedding in Provence was quite a surprise. I actually picked up this book thinking it would be a typical bride story with fashion disasters or wedding jitters, but the book turned out to be much more poignant and thought provoking. Olivia and Brody are trying to find an inn in Cassis in the South…

The Woman in the Photograph is a poignant account of a Jewish girl’s attempt to reconnect with her heritage. Mani Feniger has to be applauded for openly sharing something which has obviously had a big impact on her life. Holocaust survivors will relate to the story. Actually, anyone who has ever been uprooted in life…

Royal Passion by Jennifer Blake: Book Review
Royal Passion far exceeded my expectations and has made me a bigger fan of Jennifer Blake. I reviewed a book from her Louisiana History collection earlier and was impressed. Royal Passion is set thousands of miles away, and has a rich historic backdrop. Mara has been brought up as the daughter of a plantation owner.…

Down by The River is set in a small Smoky Mountain town in Tennessee. The Smokies have always seemed mystic and I picked up this book with great expectations. Expectations that were largely fulfilled by this story. Grace Conley has lived her married life in Nashville. She has four grown children and has been recently…

No Sunshine When She’s Gone by Kate Angell: Book Review
Rich boy meets poor girl and is fascinated by her bag of tricks. Poor girl is too wide eyed to think much. No Sunshine When She’s Gone is one Cinderella story minus the evil step sisters. Aidan Cates as good as owns the island of Barefoot William. Yes, owns it! He has a successful construction…
