REVIEW: Carnal Innocence by Nora Roberts

JaneA Review Category / A- Reviews / Book ReviewsMy Favorite Things-2006 / Nora-Roberts / Serial-Killer12 Comments

Dear Ms. Roberts: If I were to rate my favorite books by my favorite authors, this would probably qualify. It’s full of classic Nora Roberts features: three dimensional characters, rich family relationships (albeit dysfunctional), and two believable individuals coming together to give each other comfort and love. Your books aren’t ... more >

REVIEW: The Briar Rose by Dinah Dean

Dear Readers, This was a nice little book. It’s set in 1540 England during the dissolution of the last monastery by Henry VIII. Now, when’s the last time you read a book with that background? The heroine’s father has been the bailey of the monastery of Woodham which is to ... more >

Dear Mrs. Mueller, After I enjoyed your short story “Till Death Do Us Part,” I knew I had to try some more of your work. The problem still is that a lot of them are very highly priced. So when I noticed you have some freebies at your website, I ... more >

REVIEW: The Raven and the Rose by Doreen Owens Malek

JayneB Reviews Category / B+ Reviews / Book Reviewsancient-Rome / My Favorite Things-20063 Comments

Dear Ms Owens Malek, Are you still writing? I hope so but haven’t seen anything new from you in ages. You’ve got me worried. I guess until I learn otherwise, I’ll have to just keep re-reading your OOP books. This is a dual ‘against all odds’ romance. Two sisters love ... more >

REVIEW: The Raven Prince by Elizabeth Hoyt

JaneB Reviews / B Reviews Category / Book ReviewsElizabeth-Hoyt / Georgian / Masquerade / My Favorite Things-200611 Comments

Dear Ms. Hoyt: At first blush, this isn’t a book I would buy. The back cover blurb reads as follows: Widowed Anna Wren is having a wretched day. After an arrogant male on horseback nearly squashes her, she arrives home to learn that she is in dire financial straits. What ... more >
