REVIEW: The Forbidden Ferrara by Sarah Morgan

JaneC- ReviewsHarlequin-Presents / Secret-Baby11 Comments

Dear Ms. Morgan: Secret baby stories are often hard for me to swallow, particularly in this modern day when fathers are more involved in their children’s lives than ever before. Ordinarily, I likely would have set this book aside after the first chapter when it is revealed that the heroine, ... more >

REVIEW: Say It With Diamonds by Lucy King

JaneD ReviewsContemporary / England / Harlequin-Presents / opposites11 Comments

Dear Ms. King: I felt like this book started out with the heroine as a thief* and the hero as a good guy and then someone told you to SEX it up and all the backstory and character got chopped for paragraph upon paragraph of mental lusting.   There was ... more >

Behind the Scenes of a Connected Series at Harlequin: The Making of the Notorious Wolfes

JaneInterviewsBad Blood / Harlequin / Harlequin-Presents / Interviews / Notorious Wolfes27 Comments

REVIEW: In Bed with a Stranger by India Grey

JaneBook ReviewsHarlequin-Presents / India Grey / Military / Morocco / opposites attract / PTSD2 Comments

Dear Ms. Grey: This is a sequel to the Craving the Forbidden (review here) and I thought it was interesting to take an established relationship, shake it up, and still convince the readers at the end that these two could be happy beyond the pages of the book.  Sophie Greenham ... more >
