Harlequin Treasury Guest Review: Beauty & the Beasts by Janice Kay Johnson

Guest ReviewerBook Reviewsanimals / Harlequin Treasury2 Comments

I don’t usually read category romances, but after enjoying several that were recommended on DearAuthor.com, I thought I’d give this one a try. I’m glad I did, because despite its publication in the nineties, it holds up remarkably well. Dr. Eric Bergstrom is a small town vet approached by the ... more >

Animal Magnetism by Jill Shalvis

REVIEW: Animal Magnetism by Jill Shalvis

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

Dear Ms. Shalvis, I have a major problem with Animal Magnetism-‘the heroine. 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 >

REVIEW: All I Ever Wanted by Kristan Higgins

JaneB ReviewsAdvertising / animals / Contemporary / Kristan Higgins / veterinarian14 Comments

Dear Ms. Higgins: I was fairly lukewarm on your last release. I never warmed up to your heroine and I thought your hero was a bit of a milquetoast. Your stories are all told in the first person, from the female protagonist’s point of view and if the reader doesn’t ... more >

REVIEW: Set the Dark on Fire by Jill Sorenson

JaneB Reviews / B Reviews Category / Book Reviewsanimals / California / multicultural / romantic-suspense7 Comments

Dear Ms. Sorenson: What I liked best about this book was the characters were unique. Often you find characters in romance books very recognizable:   the mousy girl, the bluestocking, the raging alpha male. Here we have the youngish heroine who is a little forward, who likes to party from time ... more >

REVIEW: Black Hills by Nora Roberts

JaneB Reviews Category / B- Reviews / Book Reviewsanimals / Nora-Roberts10 Comments

Dear Ms. Roberts: One thing that you never fail to do is make the setting come alive. The South Dakota Black Hills have never sounded so welcoming, so engaging than in your book, Black Hills. The story is in three parts and while I am never a fan of flashbacks, ... more >

REVIEW: The Rustler by Linda Lael Miller

JaneB Reviews Category / B- Reviews / Book Reviewsanimals / children / Historical Romances / Linda Lael Miller / western12 Comments

Dear Ms. Miller: I confess that the last book I read of yours was Never Look Back published in 2004. I really liked that book (the heroine sounded like a real lawyer) but for some reason, I never read the two sequels. I think it had something to do with ... more >
