REVIEW: The Southern Devil by Diane Whiteside

JaneBook Reviews / D Reviews / Ebooksbondage / Brava / romantica / western11 Comments

Dear Ms. Whiteside: I wanted to like this book. It had a nice cover (albeit very modern in feel) and it was a Western. I know that Jayne gave River Devil a poor grade but Jayne and I don’t always see eye to eye on books. A perfect example of ... more >

REVIEW: The Bride of Willow Creek by Maggie Osborne

JayneBook Reviews / C Reviews Category / C+ Reviews / Ebooksdivorce / second chances / western2 Comments

Dear Mrs. Osborne, Some of your other novels have made my “Best of” lists. You wrote westerns and stuck with the genre even when it fell out of favor. You never tried to incorporate the latest “trend” in your books but wrote about basically decent, honest people working hard and ... more >

Dear Ms. Dain: I am not sure where you are today in your writing career, but in 2003, you wrote one of my favorite westerns ever published. It is an oft overlooked gem and I am glad to have this forum to bring it to a few people’s attention. I ... more >

JayneB Reviews Category / Book ReviewsAmerican historical / westernComments Off on REVIEW: Hope’s Captive by Kate Lyon

Dear Ms Lyon, After seeing the cover of your second novel, I have to wonder who you pissed off. Wow, that cover is ghastly, complete with huge man titties. Which is a shame since the book isn’t bad. Set against the historical backdrop of the Cheyenne Indian’s flight from their ... more >

REVIEW: The Wishing Tree by Catherine Snodgrass

JayneC ReviewsAmerican historical / Historical Romances / western2 Comments

Dear Ms Snodgrass, I loved the excerpt for The Wishing Tree. And I’m a sucker for a good marriage of convenience and was still in the mood for a good Western. Enough that I bought the book soon after reading it. I’m still debating with myself if this was a ... more >

REVIEW: The River Devil by Diane Whiteside

JayneBook Reviews / D Reviewswestern4 Comments

Dear Ms. Whiteside: I was intrigued by another review of your book which promised a heroine who was in control of her own sexuality and who didn’t require saving as she fled for her life from a forced marriage with the villain. Plus it’s a Western, something which is becoming ... more >
