REVIEW: The Best Man in Texas by Tanya Michaels

JaneB- Reviewsfamily relationships / Harlequin SuperRomance / Love-Triangle / Tanya Michaels3 Comments

Dear Ms. Michaels: I admit to being a little leery when I picked this book out to read. The story begins with the heroine engaged to a man not the hero. To make matters worse, the hero and the fiance are best friends. On the one hand this meant the ... more >

REVIEW: Mr. Darcy Broke My Heart by Beth Pattillo

JayneB- Reviews / Book ReviewsBeth-Pattillo / Contemporary / Love-Triangle / Womens-Fiction10 Comments

DUAL REFLECTIONS, PART 2: Black Silk by Judith Ivory (Judy Cuevas)

Black Silk was one of the first two Romance novels I read, and to this day it remains one of my absolute favorites. Submit Channing-Downs, the woman who deeply mourns the husband who was almost three times her age, is so unlike most Romance heroines. Her hair has the quality ... more >
