I took too long to write this review (I finished this book several weeks ago now), so it won’t be a thorough as I would like. But, it was just too enjoyable not to share. This book told my favorite kind of story. A story of grown ups learning to love and live with each other, and how they support each other through life’s problems. Laurie Parker was a world class ballet dancer until he decided to try ballroom dancing in competition with another man. […]
I Think Lisa Kleypas was working through some issues
Lisa Kleypas’ Blue-Eyed Devil and Smooth Talking Stranger are two of my inexplicable comfort reads. They have their good parts and bad parts, but they are not stellar books. I didn’t particularly like either of them when I got them, but I got them both as ebooks, so I have read each of them multiple times, because there they are. I’m scrolling through my kindle and instead of the many long languishing books I haven’t read, I read these two. It probably says things about […]
Just Your Average Tuscan Count Olive Oil Billionaire
The Tuscan's Revenge Wedding by Jennifer Blake
You know, if I am going to keep reviewing free books, I should stick to the ones my friend Malin gives me. Someday, I will learn. I feel like the woman on the cover – The Tuscan’s Revenge Wedding by Jennifer Blake is a trite contemporary romance. As the first book in the Italian Billionaires series, it sets a tone for the subsequent novels that I will not be reading. I am heartily sick of the number of billionaires thick on the ground in the genre and […]
Where’s MY nickname?
This book was both better and worse than I expected. And, at the same time, it was exactly what I expected. Nate “Ghost” Wheeler is ex-military and works for Black Knights, Inc., a government sanctioned independent contractor operation that “handle the jobs the government doesn’t want its name attached to” (or some nonsense like that). Nate is recently back from a mission that went horribly wrong and his best friend, Grigg, ended up dead. Nate has always had feelings for his best friend’s little sister, […]
Quarter Cannonball with a Novella. Sounds Right.
As a quick follow up to Beautiful Player, I do wonder how many of these latter series novellas are just cashing in. I don’t begrudge the authors that, by the way, I just wish it had more of what made Will and Hanna’s full length book fun. Instead her enjoyable cluelessness turned into a stumbling block for the couple. Read the rest of the review, or don’t, it’s pretty cursory and mashed into the larger series summary, on my blog. It does contain this though: […]
A Wounded Hero Done Very Well
There are a lot of wounded heroes in romance novels, but His Road Home must be the first one I’ve read in which we meet the hero straight from the battlefield. Often, the men are well away from their traumatizing experience, left with a dramatic facial scar or bad dreams that can be eased by the love of the right woman and heal them. This contemporary romance novella is not that book. While serving in Afghanistan, Rey Cruz invented a fiancee to simplify a negotiation. To bolster his story, […]
