Category Romance Review: Glory Days by Marilynne Rudick
Glory Days by Marilynne Rudick is a Harlequin Temptation from the early 1990s. It's one of the few books from that line that I truly disliked. Why? Because it was so dreadfully dull. 1 star Read more “Category Romance Review: Glory Days by Marilynne Rudick”

Posted on June 29, 2022June 29, 2022 By jacquelinediaz No Comments on Category Romance Review: The Italian’s Wife by Lynne Graham
Category Romance Review:  The Italian’s Wife by Lynne Graham
Lynne Graham’s The Italian’s Bride is unusual from her other books I’ve read in the past. Holly Samson is the first Graham heroine I can recall who was not a virgin, and who’s borne another man’s child. The hero is typical of her heroes: dark-haired, ultra-masculine, ridiculously wealthy, smitten with the heroine, and of Italian descent. 3.62 Stars Read more “Category Romance Review: The Italian’s Wife by Lynne Graham”

Category Romance Review: Liar’s Moon by Heather Graham
Liar's Moon, a Dell Candlelight Ecstasy Supreme by Heather Graham is an overwrought foray into romantic suspense.

Category Romance Review: Devil in a Silver Room by Violet Winspear

Category Romance Review: A Naked Flame by Charlotte Lamb
Sad to report, but A Naked Flame has to be the worst Charlotte Lamb book I’ve read so far. It features a wishy-washy, stupid heroine who wouldn’t know her butt crack from the Grand Canyon. 1 star Read more “Category Romance Review: A Naked Flame by Charlotte Lamb”

Romance Firsts: The First Kissing Couple on a Cover
The 1980 Mills & Boon reissue of Violet Winspear's book Lucifer's Angel is said to be the first romance (contemporary or category, anyway, not so sure about historicals) to feature a kissing couple on the cover.

Category Romance Review: An Outrageous Proposal by Miranda Lee
Miranda Lee’s An Outrageous Proposal is an outrageously sexy Harlequin Presents. Laura had been happily married to Dirk Thornton. Laura was so obsessed with having a child, however.

Category Romance Review: Beloved Deceiver by Flora Kidd
Flora Kidd's Beloved Deceiver still sticks out in my mind for one big reason. It's the only Harlequin/Mills-and-Boon I've read to feature a hero from the Dominican Republic, which is my parents' birth country. 3.45 stars Read more “Category Romance Review: Beloved Deceiver by Flora Kidd”

Category Romance Review: Could It Be Magic by Gina Wilkins
Gina Wilkins' Could It Be Magic is a comfy romance read. It's a sensually-charged Harlequin Temptation from the early 1990s. Gwen DeClerck is a staid, young widow, who had been married to a man twice her age. When Jeremy Kane, a famous magician moves next door, he turns her stable world upside down with excitement and passion. 4 stars Read more “Category Romance Review: Could It Be Magic by Gina Wilkins”

Category Romance Review: Wish on the Moon by Sally Wentworth
Wish on the Moon by Sally Wentworth has gotten mixed to low reviews around the internet, but it's a romance I fully enjoyed. This is an unusual romance because technically, the heroine is "the other woman." She comes in and breaks up a seemingly happy engagement--and not just a random stranger's but her cousin's. 4 stars Read more “Category Romance Review: Wish on the Moon by Sally Wentworth”

Category Romance Review: A Passionate Affair by Anne Mather

Posted on March 2, 2022July 6, 2022 By jacquelinediaz No Comments on Category Romance Review: A Passionate Affair by Anne Mather
Category Romance Review: A Passionate Affair by Anne Mather
In Anne Mather’s A Passionate Affair, the heroine, Cassandra, is a divorcee whom the hero pursues and they engage in a...passionate affair. This was revolutionary. Before this book, lovemaking in this line had been restricted to married couples or "forced seductions" of initially unwilling virgins whose bodies "betrayed them." A solid romance. 3.5 stars Read more “Category Romance Review: A Passionate Affair by Anne Mather”

Happy Friday everyone! I'm glad I dropped in in time to participate in #lisakleypasappreciationweek with my #coverlustfriday pick. It's #stepbackSaturday. I know its almost 10:30 p.m. Saturday night on the East Coast. But it's still in time. I'm the type of person who'd be late for her own funeral! I've got 10 minutes until it's Sunday. Ever the procrastinator, here I am posting a #stepbacksaturday #romancecover. As you can tell from the flag in the back, this is a civil war #Romance. It's a rough era, but for some reason I like romance is set during this time. There's an extra layer of drama added to the #romance novel. It's #stepbacksaturday for a couple of more minutes, but I forgot to to post this #stepbackreveal last time I posted a #stepbackcover. Hello all! Happy weekend. I've been away for a while but I'm back with a new #stepbackcover for my #stepbacksaturday pic. 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.
