*sigh* This book had such potential, but was weak limp noodle of a story. I shouldn't have been so excited to read a historical romance by two contemporary romance authors, but SPACE RACE ROMANCE was just something I couldn't resist. I didn't like the heroine and felt neutral about the hero and thei...
This is a collection of stories, and I have not finished all of them yet.In Her Service - Suleika Snyder - This is a quick read and a little short for me. I wanted to know more detail about Letty and Shahzad. Their love already existed at the beginning of the story, but I loved his loyalty and devot...
So, maybe I'll stick with regency romance? There are interesting scenes recalling the early days of the American space program, firmly fictionalized, but wildly exciting. Which is cool and all, but, as historical fiction, also means being trapped in the firmly entrenched gender roles in the natio...
Task the Ninth: The Happy New Year: - Every year you get a little bit older! Read a coming of age novel or any old favorite comfort read to start the new year right. Y'all. Seriously. Set in 1948 we have Frances, a nineteen year old Admiral's daughter who has basically had to take on the res...
I like Emma Barry’s contemporary romances a lot–they’re smart and fun, and even though I don’t love Washington politics, they manage to engage me.

As much as I usually despise hot & cold attitude in their relationship, I have to admit that some scenes amused the hell out o...
I love politics. Love. So when I heard about a contemporary romance set in D.C. and about politics, I squeed. Okay. Here's what I liked: Emma Barry's voice (smart, gentle, funny, and sophisticated), the two MCs felt "real", relatable, and likable, the set-up where he turns her down (cough, repeate...
I know, I know. Very wish-washy. I like the characters, but I hate the backdrop of DC. In some ways it threatens to take over the romance - like the conflict between the two of them is the focal point of the story instead of falling in love. The characters themselves work better than the plot i...
This was my first ever historical romance set in the good ol' U S of A. I wasn't really sure what to expect but I'm glad I didn't have high or low expectations. I don't think this was as hot or sensual as other historical romances I've read but I think that has more to do with this particular story ...
