This Rec League was sent in by Mari. Thanks, Mari! I’m having difficulty finding romance reads for those of us ladies who enjoy romances featuring a mature storyline, with older heroines/heroes. Red Feather recently shared a lovely May-December themed novel this month, and it was enjoyable, but if both the heroine and hero were older, that would be an ideal read. I think publishers forget that romance isn’t only for the young. Life doesn’t end … Continue reading The Rec League: Older Couples→
As part of our continuing week of fall and Halloween excitement, we want to know which books get your in the mood for autumn! Sarah: A recent comment on the review I wrote for Spellbinding Love asked for more “cozy witch romances” which I realized is one of my favorite types of paranormal romances.

Specifically, I love stuffing (DRESSED UP BREAD. It’s like FORMAL BREAD. It might as well wear a top … Continue reading The Rec League: Thanksgiving Romances→
A number of Karen Hawkins' backlist novels are discounted to $2.99. An Affair to Remember is book 1 in her Talisman Ring series. Lest you fear plot moppetry, Penny Watson on Goodreads wrote: Usually, families of naughty children can become rather irritating in a romance novel. The scene of this book in which Anna, a governess, meets the five unruly children Anthony has recently “inherited” makes you wonder how the hell she is going to … Continue reading Books on Sale: Historical Romances from Karen Hawkins→
While compiling the Rachel Gibson “Which One First?” recommendation list (which I'll be posting this week), several readers mentioned what I've termed the “Frayed Cover Recommendation.” To quote Rita, who was talking about See Jane Score ( A | BN | K | S ), “My copy is worn to the point that the cover is completely frayed.” YES.
