I didn’t receive a RITA® Reader Challenge 2015 review for this book, so I’m compiling quotes from reviews online and using the grade average from Goodreads as a substitute.

It didn’t take … Continue reading Concealed in Death by J.D. Robb →

I’ll start with what I did like, since I have the social … Continue reading Fatal Frenzy by Marie Force →

Back in 2006, I fielded a question for Lovely Salome, better known as Carrie Lofty, asking which Nora Roberts novel she should read first. A sort of precursor to the “Which One First?” feature, done six years ago. Now that Nora Roberts has written approximately 14,576,469,354.7 books since then, I think it's time to update that list. Another reader is asking for help. Meet Jordan: I've really loved all the the “What Should I Read … Continue reading Classic Romance - Which One First? Nora Roberts Edition →
