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 >

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 >
