the forever tree bittner hall stepback

Historical Romance Review: The Forever Tree by Rosanne Bittner

Posted on January 18, 2024January 25, 2024 by jdiazsweetsavageflame

The Forever Tree by Rosanne Bittner is a gut-wrenching historical romance and yet another excellent book by an author who rarely disappoints. This heartbreaking read will leave you in tears despite its happy ending. 4.5 Stars

the bargain Jane Ashford Bantam

Historical Romance Review: The Bargain by Jane Ashford

Posted on November 6, 2023November 28, 2023 by Blue Falcon

The Bargain by Jane Ashford is Regency with a supernatural twist. If you’re in the mood for a romance with a touch of mystery but don’t mind a slower pace, this book may be just what you’re looking for. 4 Stars

reluctant lark iris johansen

Category Romance Review: The Reluctant Lark by Iris Johansen

Posted on April 5, 2023November 28, 2023 by IntrovertReader

The Reluctant Lark, a Bantam Loveswept romance by Iris Johansen, is so over the top with its possibly offensive 1980s themes that I had a blast reading it. 4 Stars

Time enough for love

Category Romance Review: Time Enough For Love by Suzanne Brockmann

Posted on July 23, 2021November 28, 2023 by IntrovertReader

Suzanne Brockmann’s 1997 Time Enough for Love is a different kind of love story for that era, as it entails time travel plus a love triangle. Between one woman and two versions of the same man! 5 stars

Lightning that lingers

Category Romance Review: Lightning That Lingers by Sharon and Tom Curtis

Posted on June 3, 2021November 10, 2022 by IntrovertReader

Lightning That Lingers by Sharon and Tom Curtis. It wasn’t the worst thing I’ve come across, not by any means. But neither was it was I’d call an enjoyable book. Lightning That Lingers by Sharon and Tom Curtis has received acclaim from many readers. By no means was this a terrible piece of fiction, but I found it didn’t mesh with my personal tastes. It was…not subtle. 2 1/2 stars

surrender baby

Category Romance Review: Surrender, Baby by Suzanne Forster

Posted on April 29, 2021November 28, 2023 by IntrovertReader

Loveswept #604 Book Review of Suzanne Forster’s Loveswept romance Surrender, Baby. Final analysis: this book is a 5 star read!

Heart of the Falcon

Historical Romance Review: Heart of the Falcon by Suzanne Robinson

Posted on April 27, 2021November 1, 2023 by jdiazsweetsavageflame

What a rarity in the romance genre was Heart of the Falcon, a historical about lovers in ancient Egypt. This is author Suzanne Robinson’s only romance set in Egypt. 3 1/2 stars

healing touch gill

Category Romance Review: Healing Touch by Judy Gill

Posted on April 23, 2021November 28, 2023 by IntrovertReader

Judy Gill’s Loveswept #605, Healing Touch, had a rather memorable start as the heroine, Heather, bungee jumps naked.
