Category Romance Review: Wish on the Moon by Sally Wentworth

Posted on March 16, 2022May 2, 2022 By IntrovertReader 2 Comments on Category Romance Review: Wish on the Moon by Sally Wentworth
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: Angel in Scarlet by Jennifer Wilde
Angel In Scarlet isn't a bodice ripper. It's a Georgian-Era chick-lit. This is a hard one to categorize. It's not just a romance, but more of a heroine's journey through life and her relationships with several men she meets along the way. 4 stars Read more “Historical Romance Review: Angel in Scarlet by Jennifer Wilde”

Category Romance Review: Marriage on the Rebound by Michelle Reid
Michelle Reid's Marriage on The Rebound is about keeping it all in the family.

Category Romance Review: Tangled Hearts by JoAnn Ross
Harlequin Temptation #333 I have to give it JoAnn Ross for her book Tangled Hearts, in that she tried to do something unique in a category romance novel. It's just unfortunate for me that I didn't like where she went with it. Read more “Category Romance Review: Tangled Hearts by JoAnn Ross”

Category Romance Review: No Gentle Possession by Anne Mather
Harlequin Presents #105 Anne Mather's No Gentle Possession consists of two plot points she's employed many times in her works: separated lovers and cheating. Well, in this book, it wasn't so much a case of separated lovers as two people who briefly dated in the past. The heroine broke it off with the hero when she thought his relationship with his young stepmother was a bit too close for comfort and creepy. 3 1/2 stars Read more “Category Romance Review: No Gentle Possession by Anne Mather”

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. Hello everyone I hope you're having a lovely Sunday afternoon. Today's #stepbackreveal is Rosanne Bittner wildest dreams. The cover art by H Tom Hall has Montage of the couple posing, then in an Embrace, a picture of the villain, a stampede of cattle, the heroin playing piano, and a couple of Native Americans in the snow. That's a lot going on but somehow Tom at work. How time flies! April has always been a memorable month! I wasn't going to do a #stepbacksaturday post that the weather was so nice and I had to pick a couple of Hyacinths that were being strangled by bamboo so I figured the flowers would make for a nice picture. Happy #coverlustfriday! It's been a couple of weeks as April always seems to be the most hectic month of the year. Spring cleaning and holiday times I've gotten behind in my reading. Hope you're all doing well!
