Elizabeth Thornton has been a hit-and-miss author for me, with the misses probably exceeding the hits. But this book is definitely a hit. Mrs. Jo Chesney is a widow who has taken over her late husband's weekly newspaper and turned it into a going concern. A popular column in the weekly is "Lady T...

It isn't often that I've pitched a book against a wall in frustration, disgust, and/or horror but Fallen Angel by Elizabeth Thornton holds that distinction. First of all, Jason Verney, Viscount Deveryn, abhors"clever" women. He's already ditched one paramour, Mollie Drake, because she had the teme...

Entertaining reading, even if the plot and characters are something of an incoherent mess. The hero is Thornton's standard alpha male main character with really nothing to distinguish him from, say, the hero of Dangerous to Kiss. The heroine, Catalina/Catherine, is not a believable character at all....

What a terrific read! The hero and heroine are both alpha characters and the sparks between them are hot enough to burn the reader's fingers on the page. There is a mystery to solve, but it doesn't take away from the main story of the romance. Great cast of secondary characters too - Gray's family, ...

The heroine of this one pretty much defines the term TSTL.
