Delightful, fun, pure escape

+ The Scottish Bride
+ Delightful

Whenever I buy something from Amazon I always check the customer reviews as I have found them very helpful. That's why I was so surprised to see some of the reviews for this book that were so negative - a waste of time, etc. What do these readers expect? This is not Pulitzer Prize winning ...

Where deSade left off ...

+ Is it hot in here?

my velvet promise to u

+ Wonderful way to start out the series
+ Wonderful book...couldn't put it down!

A Little secret, I am a voracious reader and growing up I would read romance novels too, tee hee!! I have to say that Ms. Deveraux is one (actually the only) all time fave Historical Romantic novel authors. The "quadrilogy" - the velvet books are amazing... Its the author as her best. And yes, I ...

Plum Loving

+ between-the-numbers fun
+ The return of Diesel, the supernatural bounty hunter

This is a between books, novel. It may not be absolutely necessary to read this to complete the Stephanie Plum series, but it does give us insights into Stephanie's character as well as a deeper insight into other characters who are regulars in the series. It is a "stand alone" book, but I would ...
  
  











  



  
Second Sight (The Arcane Society, Book 1)52 reviews
Amanda Quick

Jove, 2007

Fun bits of suspense, romance, and the paranormal all rolled into one great book

+ Krentz fans will love!
+ Different, but not bad.

It didn't take me long to read this historic romantic suspense novel. Amanda Quick has a way with prose that draws the reader into each chapter alongside the characters. In "Second Sight", photographer Venetia Milton has a romantic encounter with Gabriel Jones, heir to the Arcane Society, ...

Amanda Quick

Bantam, 2004

Another great adventure for Lavinia and Tobias

+ Thoroughly Enjoyable

I loved this book as much as the other two Lake and March mysteries. They're just a great team! I would gladly read many more of their stories. They're clever and funny and very romantic. I never get tired of them or the currant tarts. I think any of their stories (or any of Amanda Quick's ...

Bigger, better - and still nimble and fun

+ Simly amazing
+ She's Back!!!!!!

This book brings us to the end of this trilogy, and a fitting end it is. Everything is bigger and larger and more complicated as Lara is brought to the Heart of the Plains, and the courtly intrigue that has been building for two books roars into center stage. Of necessity, there are many more ...

Not to be missed

+ Favorite fan

Admittedly, I'm a Coulter Fan and this book in the FBI series adds still another layer to the continuing saga of Sherlock & Savich. The whole cast of characters comes alive in this story of Savich's sister. And, of course, justice prevails. This was the only one of the FBI series that I hadn't ...

+ fun western romance

This is just another example of why Ryan is one of my favorite authors. Original plot, fleshed out characters, snappy dialogue and spicy romance make this one yet another keeper. Brava!

Janet Evanovich

St. Martin's Press, 1998

Classic Stephanie Plum

+ Slow at first, but worth the read!
+ Stephanie Plum series

I love Janet Evanovich! Funny, quirky, and believable characters. This book is no exception. The only thing I don't like is the OCCASIONAL rough language. However, for me, the good outweighs the bad BIG TIME.

Plume, 1999

Spectacular!

+ Will make you think!!!
+ Very erotic and interesting

Some may want to know that the book is very erotic, it will have you at the edge of your seat and then slam you back again with amazement. I have been enjoying the first book of the trilogy so far and expect the other two to be just as enthralling. I find this trilogy to be one that both men and ...

A cute, feel-good romance

+ Could see this one on the big screen!!
+ Fun snappy romance

A fun story about a jaded woman who has very cynical and hardened ideas about love and marriage, and the romantic man who sets out to soften her outlook and open her heart. Joe is a wonderful character - I could fall head-over-heals in love with him myself! I appreciated the gentle way he led ...
