A Bunch of Harlequins, Part Two

Here are some more books I read last month while I was neglect­ing the TBR Chal­lenge.
Wed­ding Night with a Stranger by Anna Cleary.  Har­le­quin Presents Extra, August 2010.  Australian-born Ari­adne was orphaned at a young age and taken in and raised by her older Greek aunt and uncle.  After a scan­dal that included leav­ing a man at the altar, her uncle

A Bunch of Harlequins, Part One

I’ve pretty much fig­ured out that I fail at TBR 2010 Sum­mer Edi­tion.  It’s not that I haven’t been read­ing, it’s just that I haven’t been read­ing any­thing with an eye to review­ing it.  Some books I know I will review as soon as I start read­ing it and oth­ers are just too much work.  I have a degree in Eng­lish and since

The Sleeping Beauty, Mercedes Lackey

The Sleep­ing Beauty is the lat­est in Lackey’s Five Hun­dred King­doms series. The Five Hun­dred King­doms are bound by The Tra­di­tion, a force that can and does manip­u­late peo­ple into var­i­ous fairy tale roles, good and bad. In this instance, Princess Rosa’s mother, Queen Celeste died, leav­ing a griev­ing king who has spent years fighting

Nurse, Nanny…Bride!, Alison Roberts

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

Good Girl or Gold Digger?, Kate Hardy

The title, Good Girl or Gold Dig­ger?, caught my eye, and since it’s by Kate Hardy, into the cart it went.  It’s not the stan­dard HP descrip­tive title, à la The Billionaire’s Vir­gin Mis­tress Sec­re­tary, so I noticed it even more.  How can you not want to know if she’s a good girl or a gold dig­ger? Maybe

The Prodigal’s Return, Anna DeStefano

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
