Nurse, Nanny…Bride!, Alison Roberts
Jun 24th
I’m writing about this book because I can’t get it out of my head since I read it a couple of weeks ago, but this isn’t a review. Nurse, Nanny …Bride! has one of the most ridiculous backstories I’ve ever read. It’s a Harlequin Medical Romance set in New Zealand. The hero is E.R. consultant Dr. Andrew Barrett, while the
My Mother Made Me!, Sharon Brain
Jun 16th
Once upon a time I read this book and remember it as being hilarious, and remember laughing aloud as I read it. I purchased it so I could re-read it. Sometimes it works out and the magic is recaptured. This time? Not so much.
The protagonist of My Mother Made Me! is Jane Tivik, a Canadian high schooler, and her friends Marna,
The Prodigal’s Return, Anna DeStefano
May 19th
After many mishaps that involved missing books and eye-rolling storylines, I have reviewed The Prodigal’s Return (HSR1358) by Anna DeStefano.
Eight years ago on prom night, 16 year-old Jennifer Gardner tried to stop Bobby, her boyfriend’s best friend, from driving drunk. She took his keys and he tried to kiss her, just in time for
The Wrong Wife by Jule McBride, Review by Senetra
Oct 21st
The Wrong Wife by Jule McBride (1994) is a Harlequin Romance #546. This TBR review was written by fellow reader, Senetra. Can’t say that I’d add this one to the stockpile.
Lord Nicholas Westhawke is a widowed earl living in his remote castle in Cornwall with his daughter Rosemund. She’s growing up wild and friendless, needs a woman’s
REVIEW: I’ll Bury My Dead by James Hadley Chase
Oct 8th
Harlequin has decided to re-release their Vintage collection of crime novels with the original cover art. I had no idea that Harlequin, which is synonymous with romance, published hard boiled mysteries.
Anyway, the covers are all quite arresting to look at and made me salivate to read one. I didn’t know who to start with first so

REVIEW: The Billionaire Who Bought Christmas by Barbara Dunlop
Oct 8th
The Billionaire Who Bought Christmas (Sil. Desire) by Barbara Dunlop is a November 2007 release that has been released early in ebook format at eharlaquin.com. Here is the book’s description(really nice cover!):
Wife to the Highest Bidder
To save the family fortune, billionaire Jack Osland had to marry a woman he barely knew. Getting struggling clothing designer Kristy Mahoney to a Las Vegas
REVIEW: Tough Enough by Michele Albert
Apr 3rd
Tough and Enough by Michele Albert, copyright 2007. I’m afraid that me and Ms. Albert will have to part ways. The plot and theme of the story seems to fall under the umbrella of a rekindled love story with an art heist. Sigh. I guess this is a popular theme for romantic suspense novels. It was tough enough to
REVIEW: The Devil and Via by Marie Treanor
Aug 24th
Where does one even begin? The Devil and Via by Marie Treanor started off sooooo well but towards the end, the story completely fell apart. I advise to not read any further if you don’t want to be spoiled. I hold nothing back and it isn’t pretty.
The story opens with a Satanist ritual. Our heroine, Via, is the unlucky victim, leading her pursuers
