Snow on the Bayou by Sandra Hill: ROFL with Tante Lulu
Snow on the Bayou by Sandra Hill is a rare gem, and my first Tante Lulu adventure. I was surprised to know that this is the ninth book in the series. A big plus in the book’s favor is that it did not leave me guessing about what came before, as sometimes happens in later…

My Lord Wicked by Cheryl Bolen: good story told well
My Lord Wicked is a Regency romance with strong characters. It is a romance between a young innocent girl with an older troubled man. I found shades of Jane Eyre here, if subdued. The excerpt that I had read indicated a Gothic or Rebecca type story, but that factor was toned down too. This is…

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…

Nora Roberts Land by Ava Miles: Book Review
Nora Roberts Land is the first book in the Dare Valley series. It has an engaging plot with lots of romance, some conflict, some intrigue and a mystery in the background. In short, it has something for everyone, just like the books by its namesake. If you know Nora Roberts, you should have an idea…

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.…

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…

Never Entice an Earl by Lily Dalton: Book Review
I was introduced to Lily Dalton’s work in Never Desire a Duke. In Never Entice an Earl, we meet Sophia’s sisters Daphne and Clarissa. And the massive Lord Raikes. Regency romance lovers are in for a good story with the some passionate scenes thrown in. Cormack has slaved in Bengal for several years and earned…
