I was just looking through my immediate TBR (to-be-read) basket, which is one of those long bread baskets, to see what to read next and suddenly realized that I have three first person romances in there currently.

Maybe I should say “classic Garwood” fans there, because this is definitely one that falls well between her beloved medievals and her more recent romantic suspense books, which tends to pit longtime fans against the newer ones who’ve just found her. The thing is that I actually like this one quite a bit. I’m not sure I could claim I love it, but I guess there’s just something about it that always makes meRead More →
