Historical Romance Review: And Gold Was Ours by Rebecca Brandewyne

Posted on February 18, 2022May 2, 2022 By IntrovertReader 1 Comment on Historical Romance Review: And Gold Was Ours by Rebecca Brandewyne
Historical Romance Review: And Gold Was Ours by Rebecca Brandewyne
And Gold Was Ours is a sequel of sorts to Rebecca Brandewyne‘s Love, Cherish Me. I’d consider this more of a companion piece. While both novels have Brandewyne’s hallmark baroque-gothic atmosphere, And Gold Was Ours is not as dark and emotional as its predecessor. 3.63 stars Read more “Historical Romance Review: And Gold Was Ours by Rebecca Brandewyne”

Category Romance Review: Lovers Touch by Penny Jordan

Category Romance Review: Lovers Touch by Penny Jordan
Whenever I see an "Award of Excellence" ribbon on a Harlequin-published romance, I know I'm in for a mediocre read. For me, Penny Jordan is an author who's all over the place. One book can be great, another full of crazy-sauce, others on the blah side. Sadly, her Lover's Touch is kind of blah. The two protagonists are kept apart by big misunderstandings and lack of communication, which is never fun. 2.5 stars Read more “Category Romance Review: Lovers Touch by Penny Jordan”

Historical Romance Review: Sweet Savage Love by Rosemary Rogers
Ooh boy, where to begin with this review? Sweet Savage Love by the great Rosemary Rogers is--along with The Flame and the Flower--the blockbuster historical that launched a new genre: the modern romance novel. Published in 1974, this doorstopper epic was a monumental game-changer in an era of social transformation. 4.24 stars Read more “Historical Romance Review: Sweet Savage Love by Rosemary Rogers”

Category Romance Review: Guilty Love by Charlotte Lamb

Posted on January 4, 2022May 2, 2022 By IntrovertReader No Comments on Category Romance Review: Guilty Love by Charlotte Lamb
Category Romance Review: Guilty Love by Charlotte Lamb
Charlotte Lamb's Harlequin Presents romance Guilty Love is so crazy and full of over-the-top drama. I loved every wild moment of it. As always, YMMV, although this sort of book is right up my alley. But a word of warning: it handles a dark subject that may cause readers some discomfort. 5 stars Read more “Category Romance Review: Guilty Love by Charlotte Lamb”

Category Romance Review: Stranger in the Night by Charlotte Lamb

Category Romance Review: Stranger in the Night by Charlotte Lamb
Charlotte Lamb's Stranger in the Night deals with a sensitive topic she's approached several times: rape. No, it does not employ the controversial trope of "dubious consent" found in many Harlequins from the 1970s and 1980s. This is a healing love story about a traumatic assault that upended a woman's life and affected her relationships with men. 5 Stars Read more “Category Romance Review: Stranger in the Night by Charlotte Lamb”

Author Spotlight: Charlotte Lamb
Sheila Holland nee Coates, known to most readers of romance as Harlequin/ Mills & Boon author Charlotte Lamb is one of my favorite writers, period. Although she wrote seemingly simple category romances, her books were much more than that. She wrote like few others in her field could: fully inhabiting her characters' minds and giving them larger-than-life personalities. Read more “Author Spotlight: Charlotte Lamb”

Historical Romance Review: The Lord of Hawkfell Island by Catherine Coulter

Historical Romance Review: The Lord of Hawkfell Island by Catherine Coulter
In The Lord of Hawkfell Island by Catherine Coulter Mirana is a young, unmarried woman who lives with her brother in a massive fortress. When he's away, their home is attacked by Viking raiders seeking vengeance against him, as the Viking leader Rorik blames him for the death of his wife and child. Usually, a hero grieving over his lost love is grounds for me to dislike a historical romance, but thanks to Rurik, I had plenty of other reasons to despise this "love story." 2 1/2 stars Read more “Historical Romance Review: The Lord of Hawkfell Island by Catherine Coulter”

Contemporary Romance Review: A Violation by Charlotte Lamb

Contemporary Romance Review: A Violation by Charlotte Lamb
A Violation, a full-length novel by category author Charlotte Lamb, isn’t a straightforward romance, somewhere more between women’s fiction and romantic fiction. Like so many of her works, the major themes are the philosophy of love and what are the defined roles of being a man and a woman, especially when it comes to amorous relationships. 3 stars Read more “Contemporary Romance Review: A Violation by Charlotte Lamb”

Historical Romance Review: Savage Ecstasy by Janelle Taylor
This review is of Savage Ecstasy (Ecstasy/Gray Eagle, #1; the series is known by two different names) by Janelle Taylor. There’s a lot to unpack here. The year is 1776, and English expatriate Alisha Williams, 20, the book's heroine (and the first four books in the series), has journeyed west to find happiness with her only surviving relative, her uncle Thad. One day, the “men” in her settlement bring a captured Oglala Lakota Indian brave into their camp; that brave is Gray Eagle, the “hero” of the book. Gray Eagle and Alisha develop romantic feelings for each other. 3 stars Read more “Historical Romance Review: Savage Ecstasy by Janelle Taylor”

Happy Friday everyone! I hope you all had a fulfilling week. I'm doing some spring cleaning, trying to yet again reorganize my #books. I don't have enough shelves so I put them in boxes. There must be a ton in the attic, because I'm missing couple of 100 books. I think I'm the only person who could lose track of that many! Here's a review for a steamy #HarlequinPresents from 1995, by the late #MirandaLee. It is #ThrowbackThursday and a tweet reminded me of my beloved #cat Boomer. If human beings can have soul mates, then Boomer was mine. This week on #sweetsavageflame we highlighted one of our favorite romance cover models, Michael O'Hearn @mikeohearn. We've accumulated over 50,000 views on our Sweet Savage Flame #bookblog and we couldn't be more happy and thankful! To all our readers and supporters, we can't say enough to show our appreciation. Hello everyone I hope you're having a lovely Sunday afternoon. Today's #stepbackreveal is Rosanne Bittner wildest dreams. The cover art by H Tom Hall has Montage of the couple posing, then in an Embrace, a picture of the villain, a stampede of cattle, the heroin playing piano, and a couple of Native Americans in the snow. That's a lot going on but somehow Tom at work. How time flies! April has always been a memorable month! I wasn't going to do a #stepbacksaturday post that the weather was so nice and I had to pick a couple of Hyacinths that were being strangled by bamboo so I figured the flowers would make for a nice picture. Happy #coverlustfriday! It's been a couple of weeks as April always seems to be the most hectic month of the year. Spring cleaning and holiday times I've gotten behind in my reading. Hope you're all doing well!
