It’s amazing how so many great things came out of the mid-nineties – movies, TV, books. When I learned this title was first published in 1994 I wasn’t especially surprised. It was a more innocent time, though I would hardly describe the worldly gaming hell owner Derek Craven as innocent. Many historic romance novels attempt […]

I’d never marry Simon Augustus Traherne but I couldn’t put his story down. I picked up Scandal right after finishing Dangerous, which is also an excellent read. Dangerous, however, kicks off with a very enticing build up about a dark hero who quickly softens, whereas, in Scandal, the character building of the hero is slower

I stuck it out with this lengthy historical romance, which gets off to a really slow start. And when I say “start” I’m referring to the first 268 pages of the book. Jennifer Blake is a master at detail, however, so little happened for me for such a long time that it was surely my

I fondly remember the summers when I was a little girl. We would swim in one of those blow-up kiddie pools in the yard, play on the swings, and go to the library and check out books to read. We did this right up until the time when I was reading young adult romance. Books

I was in the mood for something different when I picked up How to Marry A Millionaire Vampire. Well, it definitely is different! Millionaire Vampire Roman Draganesti has lost a fang, leaving him in desperate need of a dentist. Bring in the lovely Dr. Shana Whelan, who’s wanted (dead) by the mob. The two are

I fondly remember the million and one thoughts going through my head when I sat down to write my first book. I was really into Smallville, the TV series about the teenage life of Superman, and I wanted my story to have a romantic triangle like the one I’d seen there, one in which the

I recently shared on social media that my husband and I are expecting a baby girl. We’re bursting with joy and our heads are moving a mile a minute as we plan our baby shower, complete our nursery and reflect on how much our lives are going to change once this new little person comes

My husband and I headed to my parents’ on Sunday to celebrate Easter. It was just the four of us – my mom, my dad, my husband and I – and it got me thinking about how different Easter has been over the last several years, not only because of the pandemic. Last year, during
