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: Lovers Touch by Penny Jordan

Posted on January 28, 2022May 2, 2022 By IntrovertReader No Comments on Category Romance Review: Lovers Touch by Penny Jordan
Category Romance Review: Lovers Touch by Penny Jordan
Whenever I see an "Award of Excellence" ribbon on a Harlequin-published romance, I know I'm in for a mediocre read. 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 Read more “Category Romance Review: Lovers Touch by Penny Jordan”

Category Romance Review: Woman Hater by Diana Palmer

Posted on January 22, 2022May 2, 2022 By IntrovertReader No Comments on Category Romance Review: Woman Hater by Diana Palmer
Category Romance Review: Woman Hater by Diana Palmer
Woman Hater (what a title!) by Diana Palmer is a 1987 Silhouette romance that seems to be typical of the author's style. The heroine is young, virginal, and escaping from a tragic past. The hero is a macho, Alpha male, who is also burned by the past, which makes him a "woman-hater." 3 stars Read more “Category Romance Review: Woman Hater by Diana Palmer”

Category Romance Review: Hard To Get by Carole Mortimer

Posted on January 13, 2022May 2, 2022 By IntrovertReader No Comments on Category Romance Review: Hard To Get by Carole Mortimer
Category Romance Review: Hard To Get by Carole Mortimer
Oh boy, when I read "the heroine in pursuit plot" synopsis for this Harlequin Presents, was I ever excited to read it. Heroines who are determined to get their men are my favorite kinds! Alas, when the object of said pursuit is a mean arsehole, the chase isn't worth it. Still, Hard to Get by Carole Mortimer was a wild, emotional whirlwind. With a more charismatic hero, I could have loved this as opposed to liking it. 3.62 stars Read more “Category Romance Review: Hard To Get by Carole Mortimer”

Posted on January 4, 2022May 2, 2022 By IntrovertReader No Comments on Category Romance Review: Guilty Love by Charlotte Lamb
Category Romance Review: Guilty Love by Charlotte Lamb
Charlotte Lamb's Harlequin Presents romance Guilty Love is so crazy and full of over-the-top drama. I loved every wild moment of it. As always, YMMV, although this sort of book is right up my alley. But a word of warning: it handles a dark subject that may cause readers some discomfort. 5 stars Read more “Category Romance Review: Guilty Love by Charlotte Lamb”

Category Romance Review: The Jade Affair by Madeline Harper
Madeline Harper's The Jade Affair happens to be one of my top Harlequin Temptations due to its engaging reunited lovers' plotline.

Category Romance Review: Shadows on the Moon by Peggy Gaddis
Peggy Gaddis was a big name in mid-century genre fiction. Gaddis is credited with almost 300 works under a dozen names (that I know of). Her fortes include contemporary category romance novels; Shadows on the Moon is one example. First published as a hardcover by Arcadia House in 1960, it has been reprinted several times and on both sides of the pond. 4 stars Read more “Category Romance Review: Shadows on the Moon by Peggy Gaddis”

Category Romance Review: Nelson’s Brand by Diana Palmer
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 Read more “Category Romance Review: Nelson’s Brand by Diana Palmer”

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. We've accumulated over 50,000 views on our Sweet Savage Flame #bookblog and we couldn't be more happy and thankful! To all our readers and supporters, we can't say enough to show our appreciation.
