Historical Romance Review: Reckless Heart (aka Elusive Love) by Lois Arvin Walker

Posted on March 13, 2023November 28, 2023 by Blue Falcon

tabitha in the moonlight

Category Romance Review: Tabitha in Moonlight by Betty Neels

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

Tabitha in Moonlight is a light romance about an efficient, capable nurse (aren’t they always in these books?) of an elderly men’s ward who falls for the new surgeon, Dr. Marius van Beek. Betty Neels wields the typical doctor-nurse romance into a Cinderella story, with Tabitha starring as the poor, down-trodden stepdaughter who gets no love from her wicked step-mother and equally wicked step-sister. Dr. van Beek plays the role of the prince, but fortunately, this Prince is far more astute than his fairy tale predecessor, not requiring a glass slipper to identify his true lady love. 4 stars

Lightning that lingers

Category Romance Review: Lightning That Lingers by Sharon and Tom Curtis

Posted on June 3, 2021November 10, 2022 by IntrovertReader

Lightning That Lingers by Sharon and Tom Curtis. It wasn’t the worst thing I’ve come across, not by any means. But neither was it was I’d call an enjoyable book. Lightning That Lingers by Sharon and Tom Curtis has received acclaim from many readers. By no means was this a terrible piece of fiction, but I found it didn’t mesh with my personal tastes. It was…not subtle. 2 1/2 stars
