Historical Romance Review: Passion’s Paradise by Sonya T. Pelton
Passion's Paradise by Sonya T. Pelton is a wonderfully terrible book. However, it was oddly entertaining, like a terrible movie you watch just to shout inanities at the screen. Read more “Historical Romance Review: Passion’s Paradise by Sonya T. Pelton”

Category Romance Review: Melting Ice by Rosalie Ash
Melting Ice by Rosalie Ash is a hard little book to find in its original form. It was released by Mills & Boon in 1989 but only published as a special edition for Harlequin Romance subscribers. The book was #55 of that line. I'd give Melting Ice 2.95 stars. Read more “Category Romance Review: Melting Ice by Rosalie Ash”

Category Romance Review: Woman Hater by Diana Palmer
Woman Hater (what a title!) by Diana Palmer is a 1987 Silhouette romance that seems to be typical of the author's style. The heroine is young, virginal, and escaping from a tragic past. The hero is a macho, Alpha male, who is also burned by the past, which makes him a "woman-hater." 3 stars Read more “Category Romance Review: Woman Hater by Diana Palmer”

Historical Romance Review: Through the Storm by Beverly Jenkins
Beverly Jenkins' Through the Storm is a romance about a former slave finding love during the American Civil War and Reconstruction Era with a man from a proud and established Louisiana family of Haitian descent. Through the Storm has gained high marks and positive reviews. For my part, I found it engaging, although I couldn't help but think it needed tightening up in some areas. 3 stars Read more “Historical Romance Review: Through the Storm by Beverly Jenkins”

Category Romance Review: Hilltop Tryst by Betty Neels
Hilltop Tryst was another sweet romance by the famous Betty Neels featuring--as always--a fair-haired doctor as a hero, although this time he's British, not Dutch. Nor is the heroine a nurse.

Historical Romance Review: Tender is the Storm by Johanna Lindsey
So... Johanna Lindsey's Tender Is the Storm. If you're familiar with your romance history, then you must know of this book, even if you haven't read it.

Historical Romance Review: Passion’s Wicked Torment by Melissa Hepburne
Pinnacle Books' Passion's Wicked Torment is a balls-to-wall 20th-century bodice ripper set in the gangster era during American Prohibition. From New York to Chicago, from Alaska to Europe, this book hops around the globe and features lots of mutually lusty sex scenes, rapes, and gangbangs. It stars a heroine so stupid and dumb, she could only have been written by Mr. Melissa Hepburne himself, the author of the blockbuster bestseller (I'm not kidding, it sold over a million copies!) Passion's Proud Captive. 3 stars Read more “Historical Romance Review: Passion’s Wicked Torment by Melissa Hepburne”

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!
