This RITA® Reader Challenge was written by Kate, who likes the Mills & Boon Modern Heat title for this book, “Red Hot Renegade” much better than “Her Singapore Fling.” I completely agree. Plot Summary: In desperate need of protection, Jianne Xang-Bennett reluctantly turns to her estranged husband, martial arts expert Jacob Bennett, for help. But there are problems: they’ve been separated for twelve years and cannot be in the same room together without arguing or … Continue reading RITA Reader Challenge Review: Her Singapore Fling by Kelly Hunter →
Thanks to Jane Litte, I spent a few hours on the water’s edge in Vancouver reading this book, and I am so pleased that I did. Through total coincidence, I’ve read a lot of reconciliation romance, which is totally fine with me as I love to read romances featuring people growing wiser, healing and repairing relationships. This was another romance after a few in a row featuring a couple that endured a long separation, during … Continue reading Red Hot Renegade by Kelly Hunter →

Sometimes he's the dominant one, sometimes she is. And they learn to work together, … Continue reading Books on Sale: a Recommended Historical from Zoe Archer And More! →

The list is up, for the RITA and Golden Heart. I’ll be honest, and I’m not sure if this is a reflection of me, of something else, or just the way it played out this year but I have not been near or even in the same room as some of the books nominated for a RITA. I’ve never heard of some of them. But I am very pleased to see Elizabeth Hoyt, Anna Campbell … Continue reading RITA and GH Finalists Announced at RWA National →
