Penny Jordan

lovers touch

Category Romance Review: Lovers Touch by Penny Jordan

Posted on January 28, 2022November 28, 2023 by IntrovertReader

For me, Penny Jordan is an author who’s all over the place. One book can be great, another full of crazy-sauce, others on the blah side. Sadly, her Lover’s Touch is kind of blah. The two protagonists are kept apart by big misunderstandings and lack of communication, which is never fun. 2.5 stars

Beyond compare

Category Romance Review: Beyond Compare by Penny Jordan

Posted on May 28, 2021November 28, 2023 by IntrovertReader

Holly Witchell, the heroine of Penny Jordan’s Beyond Compare, suffers a bit from an overinflated ego combined with an oblivious nature. Thankfully, Drew, the wonderful hero of this book, sorts matters all out for her. 4 stars

Escape From Desire

Category Romance Review: Escape From Desire by Penny Jordan

Posted on April 12, 2021November 28, 2023 by IntrovertReader

Harlequin Presents #569 Escape From Desire Penny Jordan Tamara survives a harrowing jungle experience with a stranger and passion ensues. 3 1/2 stars
