Rally of a Purple Heart by Brittany Batong My rating: 5 of 5 stars All too often, I am unable to truly luxuriate in a romance book due to profanity, bedroom scenes, and other peripheral issues. I am gratified to be able to recommend a fantastic romance book that is essentially free from these issues. I believe there is some […]

A Chance at Love: A Billionaire Romance by Karolyn James My rating: 3 of 5 stars Romance books are often “hit or miss” when it comes to my tastes, and this doubly true when it comes to contemporary romances. All too often, the story is mundane, and the characters are two-dimensional. And let’s not even discuss the “happily ever after.” […]

Carolina Isle by Jude Deveraux My rating: 4 of 5 stars This is my April “Just For Fun Book,” and most of up lived up to my expectations. The initial premise of this story was quite riveting. Look-alike cousins switching places, two couples traveling to a mysterious island, and a bit of romance. I continued to marvel at the mystery, […]

Home Matters by Julie N. Ford My rating: 5 of 5 stars Julie N. Ford is one of those authors who seems to have the writing formula down to a science. I can say this because this is the third book of hers that I have read and reviewed. Each time, I have given her a resounding 5-star rating, and […]

True Love by Jude Deveraux My rating: 3 of 5 stars Well-written romance novels are often difficult to find, and when those stories are contemporary, the search can even be harder. If any kind of mystery is added to these required elements, the reader may be even more hard pressed to meet those requirements. However, Jude Deveraux is one of […]

The Cottage On Juniper Ridge by Sheila Roberts My rating: 5 of 5 stars What a particularly delightful book this is, and I can recommend it to romance lovers of most genres. There are no bedroom scenes (thank goodness!), and the profanity is minimal. I truly wish that “sh–” had been left out of this book, but I am not […]

Banished Love by Ramona Flightner My rating: 5 of 5 stars I am quite pleased to recommend to my readers another clean, historical romance that is incredibly well-written and quite entertaining to read. This book is completely appropriate for every reading level (a few minor profanity instances, but hardly worth mentioning and no bedroom scenes implied or detailed). I fell […]

His Hometown Girl by Karen Rock My rating: 5 of 5 stars When I was growing up, “Harlequin” always meant “trashy romance novels.” I discovered a few years ago that Harlequin had a much-expanded repertoire. I knew that their historical fiction was always hot and heavy but generally very well-written. This is the first time I have ever read a […]
