Vicki Lewis Thompson has a wonderfully engaging style that swept me away as I read her nerd romance novels. The humor and romance has kept me reading the werewolf series as well, but I have to admit I wish she’d move on to something else. I don’t think she will because she seemed to have […]

Book Review: Touched by an Alien
Let’s cut to the chase: This is cheesy. The “science” in the science fiction book involves a lot of hand waving and I couldn’t always follow it logically, even internally. So I tried not to think of this book as a science fiction read, instead trying to suspend disbelief for the romantic fantasy — tough […]
Book Review: The Great Escape
In this sequel to “Call Me Irresistible,” we discover what happened to Lucy after running away from her wedding to Ted. I had a lot of fun with Ted and Meg, and was looking forward to following Lucy’s adventure. Lucy and Ted weren’t right for one another. That was well established in the prequel, and […]

Book Review: Lucky Penny
What a wonderful, heartwarming story. This actually had me in tears at one point, which is not at all easy to do. It has been too long since I’ve read one of Catherine Anderson’s novels. I was thrilled to see this one come along at the library, and not the least bit disappointed when I […]

Book Review: Dragon Bound
If I had to sum up this book in a single word, it would be….unconvincing. Look, on the surface this book has a lot of terrific things going for it. Shape-shifting seems to be a popular romantic tool these days, and I confess that I like the idea. It’s sort of that strip-away-the-veneer-of-civilization thing. Alphba […]
Book Review: The Star Witch
And here it is….the final volume in the Fyne Sister’s trilogy… Despite my reservations throughout reading this series, it ended fairly well. This was the best book of the series, and this was the best romance of the three. It helped, too, that this book finally closes all those threads that were left dangling throughout. […]
