Book Review: Kill Me Twice, Thrill Me to Death
It’s time for me to catch up on my backlog of book reviews, so I’ve grouped these romantic suspense books into this bundled review. Now, I’ve long admired the way The Book Smugglers structured their review post, and since one of the Top 10 Things I’ve resolved to do this year ...
TBR Jan Book Review: Dear John
If I were asked to name one great male romantic fiction author 2 years ago, I would have said “None comes to my mind.” However, having read A Walk to Remember and watched the movie (on YouTube, no less!), and recently followed that up with the heart-achingly sweet war romance (well, ...
Great Western Romances: Diablo, The Scotsman and Never Love a Lawman
It’s the New Year, and time for me to catch up on that backlog of book reviews, over the next couple of weeks (I hope!). One post that has been sitting in my draft folder for the longest time, is that follow-up to the Great Western Drive spearheaded by Kristie, ...
Book Review: Lords of the Underworld series (Books 1 to 4)
Well, I did promise that the next post would be about Gena Showalter’s Lords of the Underworld series, didn’t I? And since I’ve been slacking off on posts -- the understatement of the year, if ever there was an award for it – it’s more than time I make up ...
Review: Angel's Blood, Mine to Possess
It has been a while since my last Nalini Singh novel … 14 months and 25 days if one were inclined to be precise. So, when I managed to obtain a copy of her new series debut, I decided to catch up on the Psy Changeling world. Naturally, it was a ...Since picking up Somewhere I’ll Find You by Lisa Kleypas some ten years ago, I’ve never looked back.
Ms Kleypas has created many unforgettable, and unconventional characters who engage my emotions, strong heroes and heroines from vastly different worlds, who bravely embrace each other’s differences and go on to forge new beginnings, who seared my memory with their fierce passion and willingness to fight for and hold on to their love.
This month, I spent the weekends reading and rereading some of my favourite books of hers, and some that are new to me. Amongst her new works, I particularly enjoyed Smooth Talking Stranger, the follow-up to Blue-Eyed Devil , both contemporary romances written in first person from the heroine’s perspective.
Blue-Eyed Devil continues where Sugar Daddy left off, beginning with Liberty and Gage’s wedding, where Haven Travis, who’s in a relationship with someone her dad deem unsuitable, shared a brief, passionate interlude with Hardy Cates that left both of them shaken. Unfortunately, Haven was talked into eloping with her gold-digging boyfriend, but their marriage soon devolved into an abusive relationship until Haven finally made her escape after being severely beaten up.
