Review: The Viscount in Her Bedroom by Gayle Callen

by Keira 01.06.2011

I loved The Viscount in Her Bedroom by Gayle Callen the third in the Sisters of Willow Pond Trilogy. What I like about Gayle Callen is that you don’t have to read the first two in the trilogy to really enjoy this book. You can pick up at the end and go backwards and have [...]

Review: Only With Your Love by Lisa Kleypas

by Keira 11.29.2010

Pirates, good/evil twins, bride stealing, quasi-spinster/virgin widow, quest for justice, nursing wounded hero, and fights to the death. There’s not much missing from this set of romantic plot elements. I was left unimpressed. There was too much to juggle and for me to believe without a large suspension of belief.

No—seriously it’s true… Lucy Benson is in debt up to her eyeballs. [...]

Review: Bedded by the Warrior by Denise Lynn

by Keira 05.22.2009

This book read a little slow for me and the storytelling didn’t capture me particularly. I read through perseverance more than any real desire to finish. I like the Medieval period but I would never go back to that time period. As Lynn points out, it’s not safe for a woman outside of the walls [...]
