Modern Love by edited by Daniel Jones
June 11, 2012

Reading List of What Dabney read in April and May

DabneyReading ListsReading lists2 Comments

Modern Love by edited by Daniel Jones I’m a long-time fan of the New York Time’s Modern Love column. I recently picked up this book which is a collection of some of the best posts from the past fifteen years. Some of them will break your heart–the now famous ones by ... more >

Time Out Jill Shalvis
February 20, 2012

REVIEW: Time Out by Jill Shalvis

DabneyB- ReviewsHarlequin / ice hockey / Jill-Shalvis37 Comments

Dear Ms. Shalvis: I’ve read much of what you’ve written in the past five years. I’ve found quite a few of your contemporaries irresistible: Animal Attraction and The Sweetest Thing were two of my favorite reads in 2011. I’ve been less enthralled with your Harlequin Blaze books; they seem to me to ... more >

Head Over Heels by Jill Shalvis

REVIEW: Head Over Heels by Jill Shalvis

JanetB- ReviewsContemporary / Hachette / Jill-Shalvis / Small-Town / Washington State20 Comments

Dear Ms. Shalvis: When I first started the Lucky Harbor series, I wasn’t sure I would like it. I have a visceral aversion to books with cute titles set in cutely named small towns, with covers colored in pastels and adorned with cute dogs or food. But my strong appreciation ... more >

Animal Magnetism by Jill Shalvis
January 31, 2011

REVIEW: Animal Magnetism by Jill Shalvis

JaclynC Reviewsanimals / brothers / Contemporary / Jill-Shalvis / pilot8 Comments

At its heart, Animal Magnetism is a story about the hero's emotional evolution, with the heroine and his foster brothers acting as the catalysts that jump-start that evolution. Animal Magnetism opens with Lilah Young, animal rescuer, rear-ending the ... more >

Heat is On by Jill Shalvis
August 7, 2010

REVIEW: The Heat is On by Jill Shalvis

JaneC+ ReviewsChef / Contemporary / Harlequin-Blaze / Jill-Shalvis / law-enforcement / stalker8 Comments

Dear Ms. Shalvis: This is a recommended read by Jaclyn but while I loved the tone of the book, the overall story felt very rough.   Isabella Manchelli is a free spirit who has never believed in settling down. She flits from one place to the next, enjoying her time until ... more >

Instant Attraction by Jill Shalvis
April 21, 2010

REVIEW: Instant Temptation by Jill Shalvis

JanetB ReviewsContemporary / friends-to-lovers10 Comments

Dear Ms. Shalvis: I discovered your books when Smart Bitch Sarah commented somewhere about how much she liked Instant Attraction. When she told me that the book was set in the Sierra Nevada I was eager to read it, because I happen to love the area and had not read ... more >
