Review: Under Her Skin by Susan Mallery

by Keira 07.29.2011

I had some issues with Cruz Rodriguez, the hero of the story. First, he’s paying his nasty evil father blackmail money like a little kid with a secret when he’s supposed to be extremely powerful and self-confident now. Second, and more importantly he eschews all contact with his daughter, Kendra. He clearly doesn’t want to [...]

Review: Love with a Perfect Scoundrel by Sophia Nash

by Keira 06.30.2011

I selected this novel because of the gorgeous female cover model. She looks like a fairy princess and the pink and black and warm tones are just lovely. The big plus is this is how the heroine is described… well, I think it was an angel, but you get the point: lovely, blonde, kindhearted. Moving [...]

Review: Smooth Talking Stranger by Lisa Kleypas

by Keira 06.23.2011

I am a big fan of Lisa Kleypas. I love her historicals. I heard about her contemporaries. I wanted to give them a try, but I was afraid I wouldn’t love them as much as I do her historicals. Contemporary novels and I have had our fair share of issues in the past. So I [...]

Review: Because You’re Mine by Lisa Kleypas

by Keira 05.13.2011

Because You’re Mine is a delicious, exquisite, and absorbing read. Absolutely delightful from start to finish. The pacing, diction, plot, and characters were all to my liking. There was nothing in the novel that drew me out of the reading experience. Honestly, I just couldn’t put it down. I have a love of all Kleypas [...]

Review: Devil’s Cub by Georgette Heyer

by Keira 02.21.2011

Devil’s Cub by Georgette Heyer is enchanting and will assuredly transport you to another world. Georgette Heyer, praised to be the new Jane Austen, was born in 1902 and her tales are quite old but hold the same classic feel as any one of Austen’s novels. I can picture the whole novel as a movie [...]

Review: Barely Bewitched by Kimberly Frost

by Susan S. 12.26.2010

By Susan S., Guest Reviewer Barely Bewitched is a fun, “light,” and entertaining read. I’ve read it twice! This is Kimberly’s second book belonging to her Southern Witch Series. It stands alone, but if you’re interested in how Mercutio became the heroine’s cat, I recommend starting with Would-Be Witch. I suggest it simply because Mercutio [...]
