Savage Pagan
What was I expecting from a 1984 Harlequin called Savage Pagan? With a blurb about a woman marrying a wealthy businessman to save the family business? Not this horror. Yes, it's older, so one might expect some dated attitudes, and, I must admit, a few other books from that era have been awful. Melting Fire, …
His Diamond of Convenience
A recent trip meant lots of reading in a short period of time. On one flight, I enjoyed the gentle realism of Donna Alward’s Almost a Family followed by the playful Playboy’s Proposal, from Ashlee Mallory. A few days later, it was much further into escapism, with His Diamond of Convenience, from Maisey Yates. His …
Fantasies and the Future
Fantasies & the Future, by Miranda Lee, would make a great Regency romance. Ava is part of the Whitmore family, wealthy merchants of opals, but her family is entwined with the ruthless Campbell family, also jewel merchants. Ava lives with her much older brother, is a virgin at thirty, hopeless at running the household and …
A Mistress For the Taking
A Mistress for the Taking is Annie West's debut Harlequin. It was published in 2006, and she's written two or three a year since then. The titles suggest she consistently works with a similar theme: Wealthy man needs woman for some scheme, and what starts as an a business arrangement turns to love. In A …
The Good Girl’s Second Chance
I picked up another set of free sample Harlequins, just to keep up with the different lines (and, of course, FREE BOOKS!). Getting a set like this means there will be some books I like less than others. Which brings me to The Good Girl's Second Chance, a 2015 Harlequin Special Edition, by Christine Rimmer. …
Mischief Under the Mistletoe
Mischief Under the Mistletoe: Holiday Hotties Just Waiting To Be Unwrapped is an eBook anthology, offering 19 contemporary romances for under a dollar. It is only available in the Amazon Kindle format, but apps are available to read Kindle eBooks on any device. I was not sure what to expect with this collection. I will …
Come Undone
I like the low cost and easy storage of eBooks, but unlike physical books I sometimes forget I've acquired them. When I discover them, sometimes I cannot remember when or why I got them, let alone what they are about. I can't just check the back cover for the blurb, and have no idea how …
Learning to Hula
Classical Greek theatre had comedies and tragedies. The older comedies featured competing groups, and usually ended with everyone on stage. The humour comes from pranks the groups play on each other, and there are lots of references to sex. Any movie about zany students versus teachers or other students, especially if it ends with a …
A Most Unconventional Match
I started A Most Unconventional Match (Julia Justiss, 2008) with low expectations. Maybe I'm getting fussy in my old age, or maybe I just have a better idea of what I want. I've found historicals can be hit and miss, and Regency novels tend to focus on what the kids call "first world problems," which …
