Review: A Bride Most Begrudging by Deeanne Gist

by Keira 06.03.2011

Tobacco brides were sent by The Virginia Company of London to the Virginia colony where men could buy the brides with 150 pounds of tobacco leaves. In the beginning, the brides were spinsters, widows, and orphans, but few women were willing to risk all to come to America. In 1643, more likely the brides were [...]

Review: Starlight and Promises by Cat Lindler

by Keira 05.01.2011

Starlight and Promises in short, is fantastic. It has a feel of the older romances with the exotic locations and seafaring travel, but is fresh and fun.

Review: The Chase by Erin McCarthy

by Carla F. 04.18.2011

by Carla F., guest reviewer I have a confession to make. Despite having no interest in sports except for the occasional tennis match, and no interest in cars except their ability to get me from Point A to Point B, I started watching NASCAR this year. This is entirely the fault of Erin McCarthy and [...]

Audio Review: Bridget Jones’s Diary: Edge of Reason by Helen Fielding

by Keira 03.04.2011

There was a different reader for this book. It’s something that bugs me when it comes to series and sequels. Same reader please! Tracie Bennett was okay part of the time. Sometimes I found her Bridget’s voice too harsh. I absolutely hated the mother’s voice; she sounded like she hated her daughter every time she [...]

Review: Deadly Vows by Brenda Joyce

by Keira 02.20.2011

I saw this on Net Galley and immediately gravitated toward it because of the plotline. Deadly Vows is book 9 in The Deadly Series. Some of you might recognize it as a Francesca Cahill Novel (the name of the heroine) as all the Deadlys follow her as she solves crimes and falls in love. I [...]
