An Unexpected Gentleman Alissa Johnson
January 9, 2012

REVIEW: An Unexpected Gentleman by Alissa Johnson

JayneB ReviewsBerkley Books / Regency England / revenge-plot / Scotland20 Comments

Dear Ms. Johnson, I haven’t read too many regencies lately because they were all beginning to smear together in a Duke/spy/fiesty heroine filled blur. I had Regency ennui. When I started this book, I kind of got the feeling that it was part of a series but nonetheless, I took ... more >

Carnal Secrets by Nadia Lee

REVIEW: Carnal Secrets by Nadia Lee

JanetC+ Reviewsadoption / Contemporary / Ebooks / interracial-romance / revenge-plot / self-published9 Comments

Dear Ms. Lee: I have talked with you on Twitter for several years now, and I even purchased another of your books from Amazon, but Carnal Secrets is the first of your books I sat down to read all the way through. For those people suspicious of self-published books, I ... more >

Dear Ms. Reid: Romance is equated with porn quite often.  Porn, of course, is traditionally labeled as a creative activity that has no literary or artistic value other than to stimulate sexual desire.  If romance is porn in any way, it is emotional porn in that the romance novel stimulates ... more >

Eyes of Silver, Eyes of Gold by Ellen O'Connell
June 9, 2011

REVIEW: Eyes of Silver, Eyes of Gold by Ellen O’Connell

JanetB- Reviewsarranged-marriage / Colorado / Native Americans / revenge-plot / self-published / western49 Comments

Dear Ms. O’Connell: When I saw that Kristie J. highly recommended your self-published Western, Eyes of Silver, Eyes of Gold, I admit I was excited but also trepidatious. I’m always a bit wary of Romance novels featuring Native American protagonists, because the stereotypes seem so entrenched in the genre. The ... more >

Quadruple Review: SEALed series by Mary Margret Daughtridge

JanetB Reviews / B- Reviews / C+ Reviews / C- ReviewsKindle / marriage-of-convenience / Navy SEALs / North-Carolina / revenge-plot / single father / SourceBooks6 Comments

Dear Ms. Daughtridge: This review is a testament to the power of the Kindle free chapter. I had never heard of your SEAL books until Jane wrote her opinion piece on the caretaking alpha, and someone mentioned your books in the comments. Although I’m not a big fan of military ... more >
