Pretty cute book, hero is definitely a hunk, heroine is very likeable, intelligent, person (her twins are just toooo cute). Umm... don't think this one will be on my keepers shelf; it's really hard to say why - it just didn't grab hold of me. I usually finish a keeper in 1 to 2 days, this one was easy to lay down over & over again - it took me 4 days to read it. I probably would have given it a 3 1/2 stars if that was an option. I did enjoy many parts of it though so I'm not saying it was a bad read; It just didn't have that special something. I guess it didn't sit well with me that Jorund wasn't more amazed by the everyday conveniences (sp?) in the twenty-first century; Also, there were a number of other characters in the book who we had came to know a little & then they were just kind of dropped.... thought their story should have been completed just a little bit at least. However, as you can see, it has really good reviews here on Amazon, so if you like Vikings & time-travel then do give it a try.

This was a good one.... very sweet (& hot!) romance, good story about a town that needed redemption. Just loved both the hero, Wolf, and his son, Joe.... their life, their values (Wolf's body... lol); was so grateful to see them get what they really deserved out of life - it gave me that warm, fuzzy feeling that I just love. Really liked the heroine, Mary; although she was a bit naive in some respects, I thought she really deserved the title 'heroine'.... I greatly admired her courage. Her attention to, respect for, and relationship with Wolf's son, Joe, was just awesome also. I can never say enough about the respect people deserve who take the time to develop those type of relationships with step-kids or kids that have hurt that bad. LH won me over to Mary's character right away with Mary's concern and consideration for Joe.
I would recommend this one to anyone that likes to have a warm fuzzy feeling when the book is over......

This one will be on my keepers shelf.... it's part of Christina Skye's Navy SEAL series & I think it's been the best one yet. (Although I will have to admit that it's been a while since I've read the other two... 'Going Overbaord' and 'My Spy'). 'Hot Pursuit' kept me entertained with all the things I look for in a action romance - action, adventure, quick wit, sexy-as-all-get-out hero, intelligent heroine (except once in this story), very hot, hot love scenes (enough to make this girl fan herself!). The ending was well-rounded and really surprised me - but I'll have to admit that one of my questions was not answered...but I can't say what it was or it would be a spoiler.
Anyway, if you like fast action romance, do this one!

I do not know how I have missed reading this book before now. It is a classic Julia Quinn & I totally enjoyed it. The characters were smart & funny & were delightful to get to know. It is light on the plot - but that's exactly what I was looking for this time. I liked the fact that even though there were problems to solve, misunderstandings, arrogance & stubborness to get through - JQ did not take it overboard & make the characters childish, immature, or borish. I enjoyed watching them get to know each other & it was fun watching them enjoy each other; it's one of those that showed me why they fell in love. The love scenes were so very, very sweet (uh.... well... sweet & hot, if THAT makes any sense! lol) The secondary characters were just great & added a lot to the story; And I laughed out loud more than once at various ones antics. The villian was a tad stupid - but that's ok, I'm burnt out on evil right now - so stupid was good (lol lol). If you like simple, fun historicals, then do not miss this one. Guess I need to go & check to make sure I haven't missed any other JQ books.

This is kind of a hard review to write. I'll have to say that I really liked the idea for the new series... the storyline was great, I really enjoyed the action, the suspense, ALL the men in the team, the secondary characters in Lily's family, Ryland & Lily - & their romance... However, it went on and on and on and on about what they were thinking & feeling about each other. That gets so old - so fast. I did major skimming to get through what they thought & felt about each other... in fact, it was almost hard to finish the book. I do want to try CF's next installment of the series, but I surely hope it doesn't have this much thinking in it! (p.s. If you want to get into the new series, I think this book will be a must.)

This was my very first Sandra Hill book & I am much impressed. Not only was it original, but down right unusual. And - I laughed out loud so many times I can't count them all. One of my girls even noticed and had to come ask me what was up. I guess I would have to say that the 'misunderstandings' between both the main characters weren't that convincing to me - meaning that I didn't see the need to get as upset as they did. However, I didn't allow it to cloud my enjoyment of the book. It was a really good romance, a really fun read, had lots a good secondary characters, had good descriptions of the town & the bayou..... all in all a worthwhile way to spend my reading time. I've already picked up more of her work.... she's worth it!
FYI - I found out after I read this one that 'The Love Potion' actually came first. I should have read it first.... however, that didn't affect my enjoyment of this book.

Yep! This is definitely a keeper; I so enjoyed it. I guess I'll have to say that I liked 'The Dark Highlander' better, but that's not to say that this one isn't a keeper. However, if you haven't read either of them I would suggest reading this one first. It's definitely a prologue to 'The Dark Highlander'. Gwen was a hoot! I loved the 'falling out the window scene' & about died laughing at the 'cherry tree chopper-downer'!!!!! lol lol I still chuckle when I think of that! And talk about your tall, dark, handsome hero! Ohmygosh!!! This one's enough to drool over!
This is a time-travel (present day & the 1500's). It also touches on the Druids of ancient Scotland. That stuff is interesting to me.
I really liked the way KMM wrapped this all up also. It didn't leave anything out, didn't rush, left you hanging for a little while. The ending was a complete surprise too - not that they lived happily ever after - but the manner in which they got back together. KMM did another excellent job!

Hmmm... my first thought is - Meg WAS NOT good enough for Sax!!! I am not refering to financial or physical aspects either! They would not have had half the trouble they did if she had just believed in him a little more! (of course the story would have been MUCH shorter! lol) However, other than that she was a good character.
I totally loved Sax & all of his misfit household. They were such an enjoyable & fun group.
This was a different flavor of Regency than I'm use to reading. I'll have to say though that it was a nice change of pace. JB really does a good job of coming up with original storylines. I'll be continuing to pick up more of her books.

This is a pretty good series. It starts out in 'Fantasy Lover', then 'Night Pleasures'. It's definitely a fantasy type book - dealing in Gods, vampires, & Dark-Hunters (vampire hunters). I believe that if you wanted to read the series, this one is pretty important to read before the next ones coming out due to the fact that it gives you lots of info on characters of the books following. I have enjoyed the action in these books, but I do an awful lot of skimming due to the fact that there's too much 'he thought about her.....' for 4 paragraphs, 'she thought about him.....' for 4 paragraphs. That's one of my pet peeves in romance books, so it kinda disappoints me in these last 2 books.
However, the hero's in these books are just to die for..... tall, gorgeous, sexy-as-[...], not to mention super-human! In fact, this one had so many of them that I couldn't decide which one was best! lol So - I just bet that I can suffer through the next book in the series! lol They are also 'tortured' hero's. In some books that doesn't go over well with me - usually due to the fact that the hero's personality is adversely affected by it; But, that doesn't hold true in these books.
I'll have to say that Sunshine (our heroine) was a little fruity & didn't always show a great deal of common sense.... I wasn't that impressed with her intelligence.
There is a lot of action in these books, which I always like, & there's lots of humor too. There are loads of secondary characters that are an integral part of the story & really add too it. I really like the setting, New Orleans, although SK doesn't give me as good of a 'feel' for the color of the city as other authors I have read. If you like fantasy romance, then give them a try.

Another pretty good one by Linda Howard. Good plot, interesting and likeable characters. I'll have to say that the suspense and action weren't quite as good in this one as previous ones I've read, but it's still good. Actually, it started out really suspenseful - had me raising my eyebrows first thing.... however, the further along in the book I got, the less suspense there was. She didn't fool me at all with the twist at the end - had it figured out. Still yet, I enjoyed it.... the romance was good, the paranormal aspect was interesting (although I never had my questions answered), and it was an original plot. If you like LH, go ahead and read it for those reasons, if not the suspense. Honestly have to say that it's a 4 star romance, but only a 3 star suspense.
