Category Romance Review: Melting Ice by Rosalie Ash

Posted on By IntrovertReader No Comments on 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: Hilltop Tryst by Betty Neels

Posted on By IntrovertReader No Comments on 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. She's the daughter of a local successful veterinarian and works with Dad. 3 stars Read more “Category Romance Review: Hilltop Tryst by Betty Neels”

Category Romance Review: Tabitha in Moonlight by Betty Neels

Posted on By IntrovertReader No Comments on Category Romance Review: Tabitha in Moonlight by Betty Neels
Tabitha in Moonlight is a light romance about an efficient, capable nurse (aren't they always in these books?) of an elderly men's ward who falls for the new surgeon, Dr. Marius van Beek. Betty Neels wields the typical doctor-nurse romance into a Cinderella story, with Tabitha starring as the poor, down-trodden stepdaughter who gets no love from her wicked step-mother and equally wicked step-sister. Dr. van Beek plays the role of the prince, but fortunately, this Prince is far more astute than his fairy tale predecessor, not requiring a glass slipper to identify his true lady love. 4 stars Read more “Category Romance Review: Tabitha in Moonlight by Betty Neels”

Category Romance Review: Whisper to the Stars by Hettie Grimstead

Posted on By arkansasannie 10 Comments on Category Romance Review: Whisper to the Stars by Hettie Grimstead
Whisper to the Stars is a vintage-contemporary romance that revolves around a trope hard to find nowadays: unrequited love. It starts out strong, with the promise of a deeply moving emo story. And it delivers, up to a point. Then it falters. Somewhere in the middle, it loses sight of what a romance is supposed to do: to engage and enthrall the reader. 2 1/2 stars Read more “Category Romance Review: Whisper to the Stars by Hettie Grimstead”

Category Romance Review: Country Bride by Debbie Macomber

Posted on By IntrovertReader No Comments on Category Romance Review: Country Bride by Debbie Macomber
Debbie Macomber's Country Bride was my introduction to this hugely popular author. I'm ashamed to admit that although I've read a handful of her Harlequins, I had no idea that Debbie Macomber was such a commercial hit with her small-town romances. Up until recently, I had no clue that she's got a whopping 200 million books in print and has written several movies for the Hallmark channel. 4 1/2 stars Read more “Category Romance Review: Country Bride by Debbie Macomber”
