Historical Romance Review: Sweet Prairie Passion by Rosanne Bittner

Posted on June 19, 2021November 28, 2023 by Blue Falcon

This review is of Sweet Prairie Passion, book #1 in the “Savage Destiny” series by Rosanne Bittner. If you love books that will stir your emotions-good and bad-and leave one feeling as you’ve been on a roller coaster, books like Ms. Bittner’s Sweet Prairie Passion will be your jam. 5 stars

sweet fire pino

Historical Romance Review: Sweet Fire by Jo Goodman

Posted on June 12, 2021November 11, 2022 by IntrovertReader

Sweet Fire by Jo Goodman is an action-packed romance filled with the requisite passion you’d look for in a Zebra Heartfire, but also adventure, murder mystery, and drama. 4 1/2 stars

Nelsons Brand palmer

Category Romance Review: Nelson’s Brand by Diana Palmer

Posted on June 9, 2021November 28, 2023 by IntrovertReader

Nelson’s Brand was my first and, so far, only foray into Diana Palmer’s little corner of Romancelandia. Palmer has got a bit of a reputation in the genre as an author of ultra-macho, hairy-chested heroes and virginal, too-stupid-to-live heroines. 2 stars

kathleeen's surrender nsn ryan

Historical Romance Review: Kathleen’s Surrender by Nan Ryan

Posted on June 8, 2021November 28, 2023 by Blue Falcon

This review is based on the Zebra print version of the book published back in 1983. Kathleen’s Surrender by Nancy Henderson Ryan–known better these days as Nan Ryan–is without question one of the best, most emotional romance novels I’ve ever read. 5 stars

Historical Romance Review: Savage Conquest by Janelle Taylor

Posted on June 5, 2021May 23, 2026 by Blue Falcon

Savage Conquest, the 9th and final book—although the 6th published—in the Ecstasy/Gray Eagle series by Janelle Taylor is a solid Native American romance. 4 stars

the heir cover

Historical Romance Review: The Heir by Johanna Lindsey

Posted on June 5, 2021November 10, 2022 by IntrovertReader

Was this tepid, dull romance actually penned by Johanna Lindsey? The Heir was Lindsey’s first book where I noticed a weird change. Previously, if there was a Lindsey I didn’t like, it was due to a meandering plot or excessive fighting between the leads. There is friendship for sure in this one, but romantic isn’t what I’d call the relationship between Duncan and Sabrina. 2 stars

sweetsavageheart

Historical Romance Review: Sweet Savage Heart by Janelle Taylor

Posted on June 3, 2021November 28, 2023 by Blue Falcon

Janelle Taylor’s Sweet Savage Heart, a Zebra Lovegram historical romance, begins in Dakota Territory, May 1867. It is here that an Oglala Indian maiden, Wild Wind, the heroine of the book, is troubled, for she is arguing with her brother, Lone Wolf, over her future. Bottom Line: Sweet Savage Heart is one of Janelle Taylor’s best books. 5 stars

Historical Romance Review: Passion’s Web by Cassie Edwards

Posted on June 2, 2021November 28, 2023 by Blue Falcon

This review is of Passion’s Web by Cassie Edwards. There are books I’m glad I got through because I paid for them and can now resign them to the dustbin of history-literally and figuratively. Passion’s Web is one such book. 2 stars

Captive Melody Nadine Crenshaw

Historical Romance Review: Captive Melody by Nadine Crenshaw

Posted on May 31, 2021December 26, 2023 by Blue Falcon

This review is of Captive Melody, a standalone Zebra from January 1989 by Nadine Crenshaw. If it were possible to give less than one star to a book, Captive Melody would be the one.

Siren Song, is the first in Roberta Gellis’ Medieval Song trilogy. Lady Elizabeth is heiress to vast lands and married to Mauger, a cruel, murderous lord. Elizabeth’s heart is for Sir William of Marlowe, her former love. 4 stars
