I am always up for trying a new paranormal romance series that includes a fascinating mythological background to the story. An ancient demonic curse, Celtic fey magic, doomed love and eight cursed siblings made me really eager to pick this one up. This first of eight stories tackling the first of the eight siblings jumped right in and just clipped along. It wasn’t as developed […]
A big thank you to The Delighted Reader folks for having me over today to celebrate the release of BLIND FAITH in print! So, one of the fun questions I had was if I could match songs with characters in the book, and boy, I had some fun trying! I should probably tell you that I’m not that great at identifying songs, and my tastes […]
First vote of the New Year! Woots, Yays, and Huzzahs! This reader’s choice vote has worked out really well for me over the last several months so it is definitely a Going Forward thing. I pondered what theme to give this vote for my February TBR Pile read and decided to go with a natural theme of the month… Oh! You want to know […]
I’m doing the procrastinating readers’ walk of shame right now because I waited so long to read this fabulous story of triumph, heartache, love and acceptance that made up this superb hockey romance. Seriously, people! What was I thinking to get distracted and not get this while the getting was hot? Enough of that, I got to it now thanks to To Be or Not […]
I stopped reading at 15% and I want to make it perfectly clear that this is one of those ‘it’s me and not you’ situations or at least I’ll take the hit for finding the heroine too immature. I am a hit or miss YA reader and I thought this sounded really cute when I picked it up. After I started reading, I discovered that […]
This one was so endearing and broke my heart a little with its portrayal of a fragile, abused woman with her baby girl diagnosed as failure to thrive and the injured Marine who fell in love with the fire he saw still burning within her. Melody feels tired, guilty, scared and all in all just one big hot mess when she comes to Mike’s Place […]
After the first madcap adventure featuring the Hope Diamond and a daring thief, I was eager to give the second book telling the story of Thomas Hope himself a go. I’ve always enjoyed it when an author daringly writes a fictional story allowing real life characters some page time. In this case, it’s not a serious historical fiction, but a fun, passionate historical romantic romp. […]
How are all y’all this fine January morning? In my area of the cold swamp we’re still doing the happy dance because Sawyer O’Donnell and Jill Cleary’s story in The Trouble with Texas Cowboys is out there for the whole world to read. What do y’all think about when you think of Texas, cowboys, rodeos and ranching? When those things cross my mind I tend […]
I was very excited to read this book because the blurb sounded cute, but by about forty pages in, I lost my excitement. At fifty pages after a particularly annoying scene where the heroine shows an exaggerated ignorant American, I pulled the plug. It’s meant to be fun and funny, but it didn’t find my funny bone. Alice is enamored by the fact that she […]
New to me author and series that I’ve been seeing a lot of buzz about so naturally I had to alleviate my curiosity and give it a go. I was up for a flirty, slightly different historical romance. This was the third book in a trilogy, but I got pretty lucky and didn’t have any trouble feeling comfortable following the story. I saw a few […]
