I was thinking the other day that I hadn’t updated my list of top favorite romances in quite a while. At least not since before I started reading more ebooks than print anyways. So, it was probably time to take a look and see what was what. This is the “Top Ten” list I finally settled on, in alpha order for now because I haven’t figured out any particular ranking for them. Yet. 😀 D’Arc, Bianca: The Ice Dragon Fletcher, Donna: Tame My Wild Touch Foster, Lori: Too Much Temptation Greene, Tilly: Zandia Krentz, Jayne Ann: Shield’s Lady Laurens, Stephanie: The Perfect Lover Laurenston, Shelly:Read More →

Since The Captain’s Woman by Merline Lovelace came out in 2003 it’s moved right up to the top of my personal comfort reread list (surpassing even The Bride by Julie Garwood some of the time I might add, which is saying quite a lot) for the simple reason that it has it all- an intelligent but not so much spoiled as indulged young heroine who goes on both an emotional and physical journey/adventure, truly growing up in the process a not-so-old but definitely more mature hero who is extremely honorable if somewhat dense at times who also does his share of growing and changing aRead More →

My reread basket was completely overflowing so I decided it was time to do a mass cleanout. And it’s a really, really mixed collection. The Traveler by Melanie Jackson – I believe rereading this one was triggered by buying The Saint in the same Nightside series, probably as much to reacquaint myself with the world she’d created as to try to figure out why I tend to skip around in her books so much. “The Major’s Wife” by Merline Lovelace (The Officer’s Bride anthology) – I love this little jewel of a story. Lovelace always does such a great job with heroes who realize whatRead More →

As I type this I’m adding to my book database, Readerware, the handful of books I’ve managed to snag this last week. They are: Cassidy, Carla: The Perfect Family – I don’t know why I got this romantic suspense exactly, except that I’ve enjoyed several of her category books in the past, plus a couple of her more humorously inclined single titles. So, sometimes I simply take a chance on an author’s new direction. At least once or twice anyway. Knight, Angela: Master of the Moon – You know, I’m not sure I’ve ever read this author. I’ll have to double-check after I do theRead More →

Does anyone else’s book-buying go in cycles? Or am I simply a more eclectic romance reader than most. A week or so ago I found three books in my TBR basket at the same time that were in first person. This was unusual enough to make me stop and take notice. Then, today, I realized that the two books I bought this week are both romantic suspense. Again, a rather unusual occurrence. I’m not even completely sure I like romantic suspense on general principle so in retrospect I have to wonder what I was thinking to buy two at once. I do like the twoRead More →

I love this author but falling in love with her writing has been a slow process filled with several hits and misses. I say that to contrast the way I feel about her books with that almost instant connection we readers sometimes feel with the writing styles of authors. You know the type that usually leads to almost no misses. Usually, but not always. Those authors are special to us but I sometimes think the ones who have to really work to get our attention may even be more special in the long run. That instant connection did not happen for me with Lovelace’s novels,Read More →
