Three Stars Jumping into a series on book seven is always a risk. Luckily, THE WRONG HIGHLANDER stands alone well and I enjoyed this book about Evina and Conran. Evi is desperate to save her ailing father, so she goes to request (force) Rory Buchanan, a famed healer, to cure him. Through a series of classic … Continue reading Review: The Wrong Highlander by Lynsay Sands
Five Stars Let me correct any misconceptions you may have from the cover of this book. THE OUTLAW'S MAIL ORDER BRIDE is not a sweet or gentle romance novel. The story is gritty, it's real, and it's as tough as its characters. If you are bothered or triggered by difficult subjects, this is not the … Continue reading Review: The Outlaw’s Mail Order Bride by Linda Broday
4.5 Stars What a gift to fans of this series! TEXAS LEGACY is the long-awaited concluding novella to Lorraine Heath’s Texas Trilogy. The first book in the series, TEXAS DESTINY was initially published in 1997 (!?!?), but Ms. Heath slid readers back into her Texas world as you would slip into an old, worn-in pair … Continue reading Review: Texas Legacy by Lorraine Heath
3.5 Stars This was the second book by Valerie Bowman I picked up. I was excited to see how her fun and effervescent characters would translate to a novella. For the most part, I enjoyed this cute little second chance love story about childhood sweethearts who meet again years later. While the pacing in this novella … Continue reading Review: Mr. Hunt, I Presume by Valerie Bowman
Three Stars It took me a while to get into this book, in fact, I'll go as far as to say I didn't really enjoy the first part of the novel. Fortunately, that just made the happily ever after sweeter in the long run. The Duke I Once Knew combines all the fun romance novel tropes … Continue reading Review: The Duke I Once Knew by Olivia Drake
2.5 Stars I wanted to love this book. Just look at the cover, it's gorgeous! This was my first novel from Janna MacGregor, and as this is the fourth book in the series, I knew I ran the risk of it not standing alone well. For the most part, I wasn't lost and I understood, … Continue reading Review: The Good, the Bad, and the Duke by Janna MacGregor
Four Stars It always takes me about 25% of the book to really get into a Mary Balogh novel. She has a beautiful writing style that makes you feel like you're living in a Charles Dickens novel, but it's definitely a different pace than most historical authors publishing today. The family Christmas scenes at the … Continue reading Review: Someone To Trust by Mary Balogh
