Reviewer Blue Falcon

midnight fires carol finch

Historical Romance Review: Midnight Fires by Carol Finch

Posted on May 16, 2022November 28, 2023 by Blue Falcon

This review is of Midnight Fires by Carol Finch. This Zebra historical romance set during the war of 1812 is a typical Carol Finch book. It’s very good, but lacking the dynamic qualities to make it great. 4 stars

Bold Texas Embrace

Historical Romance Review: Bold Texas Embrace by Victoria Thompson

Posted on May 2, 2022November 28, 2023 by Blue Falcon

This review is of Bold Texas Embrace, #4 in the “The Cowboy and the Lady” series by Victoria Thompson (Zebra/Kensington December 1989).
It is my least favorite book in the series. 2.66 stars

Nebraska fires bruce emmett

Historical Romance Review: Nebraska Fire by Lauren Wilde

Posted on March 28, 2022November 28, 2023 by Blue Falcon

This review is of Nebraska Fire by Lauren Wilde, a Zebra Lovegram romance. Nebraska Fire is not a flawless book, but it is good enough to warrant a 4-star grade.

Posted on March 21, 2022November 28, 2023 by Blue Falcon

This review is of Yankee Mistress a standalone from May 1989 by Ashley Snow, published by Zebra/Kensington as a Zebra Heartfire. 1 star

texas triumph victoria thompson

Historical Romance Review: Texas Triumph by Victoria Thompson

This review is of Texas Triumph, #2 in the “The Cowboy and the Lady” series by Victoria Thompson. This is the follow-up to her book, Texas Treasure.

savage obsession Kursar

Historical Romance Review: Savage Obsession by Cassie Edwards

Posted on February 28, 2022December 17, 2023 by Blue Falcon

This review is of Savage Obsession, book #1 in the “Chippewa” series by Cassie Edwards. From what I read of others’ reviews of her books, there is no middle ground with Mrs. Edwards’ work. Some love her, and others absolutely hate her. I’m kind of in the middle. Savage Obsession won’t make anyone a fan of Mrs. Edwards’ work who wasn’t already one. 2 stars

nobility ranch ennis

Historical Romance Review: Nobility Ranch (aka To Love a Lady) by Cynthia Stirling

Posted on February 21, 2022November 28, 2023 by Blue Falcon

This review is of Nobility Ranch (ebook title To Love a Lady), book #1 of 3 in the “Titled Texans” series from July 2000 by Cynthia Sterling. Ms. Sterling gets her “Titled Texans” series off to a great start with Nobility Ranch/To Love a Lady. It’s not a 5-star book, but it is a very good one. 4.44 stars
