the bride by julie garwood 1989 cover

REVIEW: The Bride by Julie Garwood

JaneA Reviewsforced-marriage / humorous / Julie-Garwood / mistorical / opposites attract / scottish historical33 Comments

Dear Ms. Garwood: Back in 2006, Jayne and I wrote a few reviews of our all time favorite books.  We primarily read and review “new to us” books whether those are new publications or recently republished backlist titles.  Because of that, our archives are thin as it pertains to the ... more >

REVIEW: The Ideal Man by Julie Garwood

JaneC ReviewsAgent/Spies/Undercover / Julie-Garwood / medical romance / Penguin / romantic-suspense10 Comments

Dear Ms. Garwood: This review of Lion’s Lady posted at Smart Bitches is fomenting a desire to reread your backlist (I liked Guardian Angel a bit more than Lion’s Lady). However your latest release is a contemporary. The Ideal Man is a solid entry into the Garwood bibliography but I ... more >

REVIEW: Sizzle by Julie Garwood

JaneC- ReviewsJulie-Garwood / law-enforcement / romantic-suspense33 Comments

It’s more of an easter egg than anything. Lyra ... more >

REVIEW: Fire and Ice by Julie Garwood

JaneBook Reviews / C Reviews / C Reviews CategoryAlaska / Chicago / FBI / journalist / Julie-Garwood / romantic-suspense14 Comments

Dear Ms. Garwood The lure of the 100% micropay rebate at Fictionwise was too great for me to overcome despite the fact my last few encounters with your books have not ended well. I’m happy to say that Fire and Ice is an improvement over recent publications but it doesn’t ... more >

REVIEW: Shadow Music by Julie Garwood

JaneBook Reviews / D ReviewsJulie-Garwood / medieval35 Comments

Dear Ms. Garwood: Your return to the historical genre has been the subject of romance readers discussions for months now. I would have loved to have written “welcome back” but I can see we have some growth pains here. While some of the classic Garwood moments have returned, there were ... more >

REVIEW: The Secret by Julie Garwood

JaneA Review Category / A- Reviews / Book ReviewsAdvertising / Julie-Garwood / Scotland26 Comments

Dear Jayne: My dear blogging partner, you may not be aware of this, since you are not a Garwood lover like me, but her first historical in approximately 7 years is to be released in just a couple of months. It has prompted me to do a bit of re-reading ... more >
