A Beginner's Guide to Rakes Suzanne Enoch
October 15, 2011

REVIEW: The Beginner’s Guide to Rakes by Suzanne Enoch

JaneB ReviewsHistorical Romances / reunited-lovers / St.-Martins-Press / Suzanne-Enoch38 Comments

Dear Ms. Enoch: I’m not certain who named your book but I am convinced it is by someone who has never read it because you can tell by the first chapter that the heroine is no ingenue who needs lessons in handling men. The really wonderful thing about this book ... more >

REVIEW: Yankee Doodle Dixie by Lisa Patton

JayneBook Reviews / C Reviews / C Reviews CategorySt.-Martins-Press1 Comments

Dear Ms. Patton, I think this book is a great example of how expectations and back blurb copy can color a reading experience. When I read “Whistlin’ Dixie in a Nor’Easter,” I knew there was a sequel and therefore some loose ends to Leelee Satterfield’s story. It wasn’t until I ... more >

REVIEW: Crave the Moon by Lori Handeland

JayneB- ReviewsColorado / Lori-Handeland / nightcreatures / Paranormal / St.-Martins-Press10 Comments

Dear Ms. Handeland, I will admit to having lost touch with your Nightcreatures series. Silly me thought that you’d switched over to your Phoenix Chronicles and hadn’t been checking your website lately. Seems like I’ve missed not just one but two books in the process. Well, I’m back in the ... more >

REVIEW: Whistlin’ Dixie in a Nor’easter by Lisa Patton

JayneB Reviewsfish-out-of-water / St.-Martins-Press12 Comments

Dear Ms. Patton, I used to live in Memphis. In Germantown to be precise. My overwhelming memories are The Pink Palace Museum, my father going across the river to buy Coors beer in Arkansas, Elvis, Graceland and listening to the streets get sprayed during the summer nights to try and ... more >

love in the afternoon by Lisa Kleypas
July 22, 2010

REVIEW: Love in the Afternoon by Lisa Kleypas

JaneB Reviews19th century / Historical Romances / Lisa-Kleypas / PTSD / St.-Martins-Press / war14 Comments

Dear Ms. Kleypas: I’ve never fully understood the phrase “two sides of the same coin”, but my feelings toward Love in the Afternoon perhaps gives new meaning to the saying. This is two books in one which could be a boon except I liked the first book (the first half) ... more >

REVIEW: Can’t Stand the Heat by Louisa Edwards

JaneB Reviews Category / B- ReviewsChef / Deception / food / second chances / St.-Martins-Press22 Comments

Dear Ms. Edwards: Thank you for sending me this book. I confess I tried to read this book many times, never making it out of the first few chapters. The heroine, Miranda Wake, a food critic, gets drunk at a restauraent premiere and makes some very loud and rude remarks. ... more >
