Category Romance Review: The Italian’s Wife by Lynne Graham

Posted on By jacquelinediaz No Comments on 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”

Historical Romance Review: Passion’s Paradise by Sonya T. Pelton

Posted on By IntrovertReader No Comments on Historical Romance Review: Passion’s Paradise by Sonya T. Pelton
Passion's Paradise by Sonya T. Pelton is a wonderfully terrible book. However, it was oddly entertaining, like a terrible movie you watch just to shout inanities at the screen. Read more “Historical Romance Review: Passion’s Paradise by Sonya T. Pelton”

Category Romance Review: Wish on the Moon by Sally Wentworth

Posted on By IntrovertReader 2 Comments on 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”

Historical Romance Review: My Steadfast Heart by Jo Goodman

Posted on By Blue Falcon No Comments on Historical Romance Review: My Steadfast Heart by Jo Goodman
There are some good elements in My Steadfast Heart, but the laborious writing style Ms. Goodman uses and the overall complexity of the story brings the grade down a bit. 2.57 stars. Read more “Historical Romance Review: My Steadfast Heart by Jo Goodman”

Category Romance Review: Ready, Willing and Abel by Nancy Martin

Posted on By IntrovertReader 1 Comment on Category Romance Review: Ready, Willing and Abel by Nancy Martin
Ready, Willing and Abel was my first foray into the Silhouette Desire line. Nancy Martin penned a ridiculous, sexy romp that made me fall in love with the series. Featuring an Indiana Jones-like hero and a button-downed heroine working in fast-paced Washinton DC, this story was not based at all in reality. It was so over-the-top and silly; I adored it. 4 1/2 stars Read more “Category Romance Review: Ready, Willing and Abel by Nancy Martin”
