REVIEW: The Bride Plan by Kasey Michaels

REVIEW: The Bride Plan by Kasey Michaels

Dear Ms. Michaels, Last year I gave the first two books in this series A- grades. And ever since then I’ve been eagerly waiting for Chessie’s chance to find her Mr. Perfect after being left at the altar by Mr. Asshole. Would there be revenge? Or public humiliation? Or would MaryLou work her matchmaking magic(…)

DA Recommends for July

DA Recommends for July

It’s hard to believe that July is here and 2010 is half over. This year seems to have flown by. I think I might have slept through some of it because I certainly don’t remember the months of April or May. Lady Isabella’s Scandalous Lover by Jennifer Ashley. Recommended by Jane. Bonds of Justice by(…)

REVIEW: A Bride After All by Kasey Michaels

REVIEW: A Bride After All by Kasey Michaels

Dear Ms. Michaels, June and June brides are upon us so the second book in your “Second Chance Bridal” series is right on time. After loving “Suddenly A Bride” last month I wanted to see who would get another chance at finding that perfect dress to go with the perfect guy. Claire Ayers and Nick(…)

REVIEW: Suddenly a Bride by Kasey Michaels

REVIEW: Suddenly a Bride by Kasey Michaels

Dear. Ms. Michaels, I will admit to loving to wander through bridal shops and checking out gowns, headdresses and accessories. There’s just something about all that hope and promise of a future plus getting to look like your version of a Princess for a Day that gets me every time. And though I would probably(…)

Top Romances of 2009 by Jayne

Most of my top books were in the B+ range. I think I only had 2 that were A- grades. I’m not sure if I was being pickier this year or just didn’t read books that wowed me. “I Do” Anthology” “Grave Goods” Ariana Franklin “Whisper of Warning” Laura Griffin “To Beguile a Beast” Elizabeth(…)

REVIEW: How to Tempt a Duke by Kasey Michaels

REVIEW: How to Tempt a Duke by Kasey Michaels

Dear Ms. Michaels, If the purpose of the novella “How to Woo a Spinster” was to get me to buy this full length novel, it worked. But as I started to read How to Tempt a Duke, I wondered if I would get through it. Let’s see…Regency era, Duke hero, feisty younger sister, heroine with(…)

REVIEW: How to Woo a Spinster by Kasey Michaels

REVIEW: How to Woo a Spinster by Kasey Michaels

Dear Ms. Michaels, When I was checking out the new offerings from Harlequin, I saw your name and popped the book in my ecart without looking too closely at it. So, when I opened it up on my reader, I was dismayed to see that this is obviously a novella. Now, novellas can work for(…)

REVIEW: The Tycoon’s Secret by Kasey Michaels

Dear Ms. Michaels, I was tempted to go back and read this part of the “Gifts from a Billionaire” series after loving Leslie LaFoy’s “The Money Man’s Seduction.” It’s fast, it’s funny and, though I wish some aspects of the book had been explored in greater depth, so far I’m 2 for 2 in liking(…)

REVIEW: The Chaotic Miss Crispino by Kasey Michaels

Dear Mrs. Michaels, Just an aside, the whole time I was reading this one I kept thinking of antihistamines and sleep meds. Allegra Crispino’s mother ran off with an Italian opera singer and was cut off by her father, the Baron Dugdale (which is a silly name, isn’t it?). Now he’s on death’s door and(…)

REVIEW: Everything’s Coming Up Rosie by Kasey Michaels

Dear Ms. Michaels, Most of your books have worked for me on some level. Some much better than others. When I saw a great review of “Everything’s Coming Up Rosie” I was psyched. I’d read 2 chapters of it before I saw a not so great review but I already knew that this is a(…)

REVIEW:  A Gentleman by Any Other Name by Kasey Michaels

REVIEW: A Gentleman by Any Other Name by Kasey Michaels

Dear Ms Michaels, I should have trusted my first instincts about this book. Instead, I let myself be lured by one good review into spending $7 on it. Bad move on my part. I think I will be skipping all the subsequent books in your series about 7 orphans who are adopted by an eccentric(…)
