  Highland Wishes by Leanne Burroughs. The storyline, set in a time when tension was high between England and Scotland, is a fast-paced tale. This reviewer was easily captivated by the story and was enthralled by it until the end. The reader will laugh and cry, feel all the pain, torment and disillusionment felt by both main characters, but also the joy and love they felt. Ms. Burroughs has crafted a well-researched story that gives a glimpse into Scotland during a time when there was upheaval and war for independence. This reviewer commends her for a wonderful job done.

  Highland Miracle by Leanne Burroughs - Wonderfully written, with vibrant characters, this story is a masterpiece of historical fiction. Readers will be impressed with the amount of research the author has done. She has creatively mixed actual people with fictitious ones, thereby allowing the reader to enter into this momentous period of history. The anguish and adventure of this war becomes very real, as it provides the reasoning behind the characters' words and actions.

  Legend says that if you wish with all your heart upon the rare blue moon, your wishes were sure to come true. Blue Moon Magic is a perfect read for late at night or during your commute to work.

  To Woo A Lady – Erin E.M. Hatton has written a series of short stories covering Regency England and the historical standards and expectations that existed then. I especially liked how she made her characters vulnerable, yet strong. There are no wilting wallflowers here. The men are strong, stubborn and even a bit understanding about the women’s expectations and the realities of the times and world they live in. The author's storylines are believable, enjoyable to read, and take you to a world of time past, with all its warts and pimples as well as beautiful homes and good times at public functions. It's not all peaches and cream, but it's real.

  Ladybugs and Fireflies by Cheryl Alldredge - Simply put, this is a very entertaining story. The backdrop is great—a real southern small-town flavor. There's a few fun unexpected twists, quips and fun, but readers will want to read th

  A Season for Romance – a collection of stories written by the very talented, Amy Blizzard - is truly the perfect mix of sentiment and heartfelt joy of what Christmastime brings. I very much enjoyed each individual story and the characters each one introduced me to. I feel anyone who reads this collection can relate to at least one character as they all come from different backgrounds and walks of life, and each one can also remind you of someone you may know in your life that you think of around the holidays.

  On The Wild Side - Gerri Bowen is a master at writing Regency romances that really entertain. No boring drawing room drama here. On The Wild Side is a series of six short stories telling of the romantic struggles of men and women who have something special in their blood. Each one has a special gift. And sometimes those gifts get in the way of their finding true love. I found the premise fresh and the paranormal elements (wood nymphs and such) different in this book than any other I've read. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

  Audrey’s Love by Gerri Bowen - This was a very entertaining read. It made me laugh and cry and kept me on the edge of my seat. The author gave this story an interesting twist in how it played out...you will see what i mean. I recommend this book for any time travel romance fans out there. Enjoy.

  For Love of Gwynneth by Gerri Bowen - The author has a gentle winning style and feel for the period that kept me turning pages on this lazy weekend. I thoroughly enjoyed her story. This is my first Bowen book, but it won't be my last. A delightful tale that goes on my keeper shelf.

  Court of Love by Cynthia Breeding - This delicious anthology of convention-bucking heroines in three separate time periods will delight anyone who likes Jane Austen, but wishes to peek under Mr. Darcy’s clothes. Although the historical accuracy of this collection is a bit suspect and the plotlines are wrapped up with slightly alarming speed, each story features a woman with a unique personality and an independent soul, not to mention some very sexy men in breeches. Perfect bedtime reading for lovers of spicy historical romance.

  In Fate of Camelot, Cynthia Breeding develops the Arthur-Lancelot-Gwenhwyfar relationship. She does not gloss over the difficulties of Gwenhwyfar's role as queen and as woman, but rather develops them to give the reader a vision of a woman who lives her role as queen and lover with all that she is.

  Cynthia Breeding's Prelude to Camelot is a lovely and fascinating read, a book worthy of being shelved with my Arthuriana fiction and non-fiction. (Second book in Breeding’s Camelot series.)

  Charades by Polly McCrillis – Great love story! I couldn't put this book down! Loved it! Romance and mystery. Action and passion. This book takes you through all of them. Reese and Ethan are an unlikely pair and would never have crossed paths were it not for his missing sister and nephew. He grew up with wealth, she in foster homes. Their growing feelings for each other intensify throughout this descriptive story.

  Almost Taken by Isabel Mere takes the reader on an exciting adventure. Ava Fychon, who is highly spirited and stubborn, will win the respect of the readers for her courage and determination. Deran Morissey, the Earl of Atherton, who is rumored in the beginning to be an ice king, not caring about anyone, will prove how wrong people’s perceptions can be. Almost Taken is an emotionally moving historical romance that I highly recommend.

  Isabel Mere’s skill with words and the turn of a phrase makes Almost Guilty a joy to read. Her characters reach out and pull the reader into the trials, tribulations, simple pleasures, and sensual joy that they enjoy. Ms. Mere unravels the tangled web of murder, smuggling, kidnapping, hatred and faithless friends, while weaving a web of caring, sensual love that leaves a special joy and hope in the reader’s heart.

  Almost Forsaken - Saved of sure death by another servant of the royal family, Mei resents being a servant in the royal household and dreams of escaping. Her savior, Hayden, has been a servant for years and also yearns for freedom. She is a spitfire and he's falling in love with her. Will they survive to escape? A villain, a hero and plenty of action. I loved this book and the way Isabel Mere wove the threads together to create a page turning story that I couldn't put down! Thanks for another good read Isabel Mere!

  Almost Silenced by Isabel Mere - Interesting romance. Both main characters are of European heritage, not usual leads for an historical romance set in England. Adding to this mix a deaf child gives a depth not always present in romances. An enjoyable read that I gladly recommend to others.

  Madrigal: A Novel of Gaston LeRoux’s The Phantom of the Opera - Ms. Linforth has written a love story sure to please Phantom fans old and new alike.

  Abendlied: A Novel of Gaston LeRoux’s The Phantom of the Opera – Madrigal continues. Jennifer Linforth has written another noteworthy tale about the Phantom. I enjoyed how the author takes the reader back to Erik’s life below the opera house to unfold a new tale with the Phantom’s friendship with Comte Philippe de Chagny.

  Rondeau: A Novel of Gaston LeRoux’s The Phantom of the Opera - Rondeau is the stunning end to a wonderfully penned trilogy by Jennifer Linforth. Each book had me remembering why I empathized with and loved Erik so much over the years, despised Christine for not being able to see behind the Phantom's mask to Erik, and hated Raoul for destroying Erik's chances for happiness. Ms. Linforth has done a superb job of staying true to Leroux's original madman of a Phantom while showing the heartbroken man who lay behind the mask.

  In Sunshine or In Shadow by Cynthia Owens - If you adore the stormy heroes of ‘Wuthering Heights’ and ‘Jane Eyre’ (and who doesn't?) you'll be entranced by Owens' passionate story of Ireland after the Great Famine, and David Burke - a man from America with a hidden past and
a secret name. Only one woman, the fiery, luscious Siobhan, can unlock the bonds that imprison him. Highly recommended for those who love classic romance and an action-packed story.

  I just finished reading Playing for Keeps and I have to tell you I think this just may be Cynthia Owen's best book to date. I am a big fan of her Claddagh series books. It was a great romance, a lively story and very well-written.

  Cave of Terror by Amber Dawn Bell - Highly entertaining and fun, Cave of Terror was impossible to put down. Delightfully funny with a true sense of teenagers, Cheyenne is believable and her emotional struggles are on par with most teens. The author gave just enough background to understand the workings of her vampires. Ms. Bell has done an admirable job of telling a story suitable for young adults.

  Heart’s Affections by Molly Zenk – This isn’t a romance in the typical genre fiction sense, but instead it is the true romance of John Keats and Fanny Brawne. Rarely have I ever been brought to tears by a novel as I was after reading this story. Ms. Zenk has produced a shining gem to be proud of for years and years to come. This is one of the most heart-touching stories I’ve read in a very long time.

  ~ * ~

  Chasing Byron by Molly Zenk is a page turner of a Regency book not only because of the engaging characters, but also by the lovely prose. Reading this book was a jolly fun time all through the eyes of Miss Woodhouse, yet also one that touches the heart.

  Like the Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, Dark Well of Decision is a grand adventure with a likable girl who is a little like all of us. Zoe’s insecurities are realistically drawn and her struggle with both her faith and the new direction her life will take is poignant. The references to the Bible and the teachings presented are appropriately captured. Author Anne Kimberly is an author to watch; her gift for penning a grand childhood adventure is a great one. This one is well worth the time and money spent.
