Historical Romance Review: Starlit Surrender by Judy Cuevas

Posted on July 31, 2023November 28, 2023 by Blue Falcon

Starlit Surrender by Judy Cuevas is so bad that the author had to republish it using her alias, Judith Ivory. At least the rest of her backlist is much better. It can’t be worse. .5 Stars

Category Romance Review: Night Light by Jennifer Greene

Posted on April 26, 2023November 28, 2023 by IntrovertReader

In Night Light by Jennifer Greene, a surly man opens his home to a stranded woman during a thunderstorm. She stays for the night. That’s when things get weird. 4 Stars

Category Romance Review: A Naked Flame by Charlotte Lamb

Posted on May 24, 2022November 28, 2023 by IntrovertReader

Sad to report, but A Naked Flame has to be the worst Charlotte Lamb book I’ve read so far. It features a wishy-washy, stupid heroine who wouldn’t know her butt crack from the Grand Canyon. 1 star

too many husbands

Category Romance Review: Too Many Husbands by Elise Title

Posted on December 15, 2021November 28, 2023 by IntrovertReader

There are Christmas tales that inspire, ones that make us cry, and others that make us laugh with the joy of being alive. Too Many Husbands by Elise Title falls into the latter category. It’s a zany romp of a romance that could have been an old-fashioned screwball comedy on the live screen. 4 1/2 stars

Category Romance Review: A Love to Last Forever by Linda Randall Wisdom

Posted on October 17, 2021November 28, 2023 by IntrovertReader

A Love to Last Forever by Linda Randall Wisdom is a fine romance between two former high school classmates, Stacy McAllister and Clarence “Mike” Harper. 3.5 Stars

asking for trouble ed tadiello

Category Romance Review: Asking for Trouble by Miranda Lee

Posted on May 14, 2021November 28, 2023 by IntrovertReader

Asking for Trouble by Miranda Lee a beautiful, yet virginal woman and a burn-by-love playboy find passion together. Is it enough to last? The problem with reading a much-beloved author almost 50 times is that their books begin to blend together. Plotlines get replayed. And replayed. 2 stars
