REVIEW: Sold to a Laird by Karen Ranney

REVIEW: Sold to a Laird by Karen Ranney

Dear Ms. Ranney: I confess that the title of the this book was a bit offputting (not to mention factually inaccurate for the story).   I was initially put off by the title and the blurb but the book was sent by the publisher and after the first chapter, I was very interested in what came [...]

REVIEW: The Birthday Present by Alison Richardson

REVIEW: The Birthday Present by Alison Richardson

Dear Ms. Richardson, I had a blast reading The Birthday Present, the third and final story in your Countess Trilogy. To readers who have not read the earlier stories, but would like to read this one, I have to suggest reading this series in order.

REVIEW: An Impolite Seduction by Alison Richardson

REVIEW: An Impolite Seduction by Alison Richardson

Dear Ms. Richardson, Recently I reviewed The Countess’s Client, the first Spice Brief in your Countess Trilogy.

Despite that, I was still looking forward to reading this entry but I admittedly worried about the setup of the Psy woman with [...]

REVIEW:  The Scottish Companion by Karen Ranney

REVIEW: The Scottish Companion by Karen Ranney

Dear Ms. Ranney: Here's a problem I have. Sometimes I get authors mixed up in my head. I got you mixed up with another author named Karen and I thought you and she were the same person so I haven't picked up any books of yours since 2005. After reading the Scottish Companion, though, I [...]

REVIEW:  Dangerous Tides by Christine Feehan

REVIEW: Dangerous Tides by Christine Feehan

Dear Ms. Feehan: I haven’t bought a book written by you in years. My neighbor bought this one and offered it to me. It’s hard to turn down free books and I thought I remembered you fondly. After reading the first 100 pages, it was brought back in stark relief why I had stopped buying [...]
