Fairly standard Harlequin Intrigue fare, though towards the end the plot got a bit convoluted and hard to follow. But a perfectly satisfying ending.

Not sure why the cover model and baby are riding a horse, however, since at not once in the big did the hero ever get on a horse.

Talk about an angst filled romance with a major misunderstanding driving the hero and heroine apart for four years. It got a little tedious at times, but the shocker (to me anyway) at the end took me completely by surprise and made it worth it.

Heroine a bit of a sop, engaged to man she's known 3 months, whose mother basically runs his life. Heroine gets annoyed or angry but doesn't really stand up for herself. Architect, aka hero, is brother's best friend and college roommate who heroine had massive crush on at age 14. A little wishy washy, having been burned before and can't let himself trust heroine. You know how it ends of course, and it did keep my interest well enough.

Despite the title and cover picture, Kitty is not actually a nurse. But the book did get one thing right. Dick certainly lived up to his name.

I thought this was a romance when I picked it up. The premise was a bit out there, with Barbara inadvertently making a deal with the devil, and overnight going from gray hair, overweight, double chin, and meek to a slim blonde assertive beauty with the power to make bad things happen to others. It got so ridiculous I thought about DNFing. But I persevered, and suddenly there was some romance, and then the last quarter got really good.

Rollicking romp of fun! Ben, who idolizes Sinatra, talks like he's right out a 30's/40's screwball comedy, which incidentally are some of the best movies ever made. Calls Sofia baby and dame, his friends his pallies, and so on. Actually the whole book reads like a screwball comedy. Silly and over the top at times, but I was sorry to see it end.

I can only think that Ms. Huxley aspired to being more than a Harlequin author with her long sentences packed with adverbs and adjectives. I've never read the words "somnolence" and "somnolent" so many times and was unfamiliar with "importuned", also used multiple times. I looked it up: "to press or urge with troublesome persistence". I do love learning new words, though I doubt I'll ever use this one.

My first time reading this author and I very much enjoyed it. A great, sympathetic heroine, a wonderful hero, and a slimy ex. What more do you need?

Older Harlequin with a silly premise - Alex‘s dead parents‘ ghosts are on a mission to see her "properly" married. They don‘t consider her jerk boyfriend the proper man for her, so cue the shenanigans as they set out to matchmake. The author has always been one of my favorite category romance authors, and I enjoyed the gentle and amusing pushes towards the new man who came into her life. And I laughed out loud a couple of times.

I sure do enjoy Carolyn Brown‘s cowboy romances. This one featured a hero and heroine who bickered constantly and I laughed several times.

Is this product placement? I‘ve read several Carolyn Brown books, but this is the first to constantly talk about movies and singers and songs and books, describing plots and scenes and meaning and trivia. And then this line just feels downright blatant.

This is my third Macomber & I'm not sure why she‘s so popular. The writing isn‘t great, it‘s adequate I guess. The characters are ok. I liked Asher more than Everly. It‘s a quick read with some amusing parts, mostly with Asher. I've collected a lot of the author's books, including a bunch of the Cedar Cove series since I enjoyed the tv series, so I‘ll keep reading her, and hopefully will enjoy some of her other books more than this one.

I kept waiting for something to actually happen and it didn't, and then the last quarter of the book it all did.

I very much enjoyed this. A girl is dead, and we don't know who killed her. One of the possible suspects, I had no idea if he was guilty of her murder or not, but even after I learned he had actually murdered before I still felt sympathy for him. I wanted him redeemed in the end, but how can a murder be redeemed? While another possible suspect, I could not like him no matter how hard I tried.

A twisty, engaging, spellbinding read.

She first spotted him at Bobbie‘s Coffee Shop on Twenty-Second Street.
