Louisiana Dawn is a decent entry in Jennifer Blake’s Louisiana History Series but falls short of her better romance novels. 2.5 Stars
Captive Innocence is a fairly unexciting Fern Michaels historical from 1981. This romance shares no association with Michael’s far more entertaining “Captive” series. 2 stars
For anyone who loves historical or medieval romance, White Lion’s Lady by Lara Adrian (aka Tina St. John) is an absolute keeper. I highly recommend it. 5 stars
In Skye O’Malley by Bertrice Small a beautiful Irish woman in the Elizabethan Tudor era experiences adventures and love with many men.
Silver Storm by Cynthia Wright would have been excellent if not for the slow start. However, once it gets there… Oh my. 3.5 Stars
It was a bad sign that Bertrice Small’s The Innocent features one of her dullest covers ever. The lone positive was that it was designed as one last created by legendary artist Elaine Duillo for her dear friend Bertrice. 1 star
In Tender Warrior by Fern Michaels, Mirjana, a Muslim princess, seeks protection, only to be captured by her enemy, the warrior El Cid.
