3.5 starsNotes: - Heads up. This is a continuation from 'Overtime'. This is not standalone. - Great chemistry between the characters.- The BDSM scene bored me out. :(- I love seeing Jagger and Colton again in here. Yay!- I liked the mystery plot.
3.5 starsI didn't know it was going to be that angsty. And it was a long book. Exhausting. There are too many details. Too many inner monologues. Repetitive. It's too much. But I really liked Trystan. And at the end of the book, I finally know where Dakota came from. Because he's such an annoying ch...
This is one of my Meagan McKinney reads in my youth. I must have read this after I read Lions and Lace. I have not decided whether I want to re-read it. I remember the story and my feelings toward it well enough.I always believe, if an author can impress upon his/her readers that they recall a book,...
oh I read this fabulous book so many years ago and loved Trevor and Alana's story. Alana is my kind of heroine, proper but strong, soft but determined. Trevor is my kind of hero, conflicted but never truly unkind, struggling but cannot help but have a soft spot for Alana. Trevor asked Alana to marry...
I read this book many years later after I read Lion and Lace, the first Van Alan Sisters story. I like Alana, the first book, much better than Fair is the Rose.The writing is very good. Plots are ok. Hero is a US marshall but was doing undercover playing a villain when he met the heroin. Instant att...
This was a pretty good old-fashioned historical romance -- complete with literally heaving bosoms -- up until the ending, which has to be about the worst way you could end a romance barring one of the characters dropping dead.
Yawn. This is what I thought of most of the book, so forgive me if the review follows along that same line. The secondary character Flossie, who is a fellow passenger on the ship to our star of the show Aurora, starts off quite entertaining. The old gal is a considerable drama queen, but this just...
Ravenna is a childish, self-absorbed, and self-pitying heroine. Niall is always haunted by something that is unjustified so he is hard to sympathize with. Both are contradictory and unreasonable: They claim true love, paying the other with anger, resentment, lies, and intransigence throughout the no...
This is surprisingly good. Definitely not your typical pirate romance where he is all gentle and kind and she falls at his feet in a puddle of lust. This hero walks such a fine line you don't know what to think. And the heroine, appropriately fearful. (although she "moaned" way too often!) If you li...
I was recently asked about gothic romance books written by more modern authors, and this is one that I thought of. It's still a historical romance, but the dark and lonely castle combined with the gamma, slightly crazy hero definitely gives it a "Jane Eyre" feel. The heroine is fairly innocent and...
