This was a big disappointment for me.The story started out well, with what was set up to be an interesting murder investigation with an "I see dead people" slightly supernatural aspect. Initially I liked Charley and her ability to see the recently dead victims of violence. It was a different kind...
Let’s see where to begin….. It took longer to read this book than I thought it should. This is the first book I have read by this author and I only picked it because of the color for this year birth stone challenge, so I wasn’t expecting it to be that good. But surprisingly it was really great. I...

One night she can't sleep and whilst in the library (or similar room - I forget) quietly sitting in a chair, she spots a cat bu...
This book was enjoyable for a lot of reasons, but I also struggled with it for a lot of reasons. I'm on a Karen Robards kick, because I've just discovered her, and there's a lot in her writing that I enjoy and that remind me of another favorite author--Sandra Brown. She handles the emotional inte...
To Trust A Stranger starts out silly but it’s the good kind of silly that may actually make you smile if you’re in the right frame of mind. It was fun and just as I was settling in for a fluffy, light-hearted read the heroine went all bitchy on me. And it’s never pretty when that happens.Sigh.Thi...
This book was just okay. I read this for my romance book club. I picked it because I heard it was a good example of the romance suspense genre. It was very suspenseful and a bit scary. This book just didn't do it for me for a number of reasons. First, this is a romance novel and though there was ...

Reading Wild Orchids by Karen Robards for the 3rd time doesn’t seem to have diminished my enjoyment factor of the novel by even one iota. Call me crazy but even with the massive amount of books I have on my review pile, I just had to pick this one up and read it in one sitting yet again because t...
Overall 4.5 starsRe: the audio. James Clamp did a good job of narrating. I don't normally like men narrating romance, because their female voices always make me think of a big strapping woman with 'man hands'. Of course, some females do an equally poor job with the males. YMMV, I'm sure.The stor...

I wish I could put it into words how much I loved this book! I read it in a day and-a-half, it was that good. I could't put it down, even though I was trying to force myself to- ah I just couldn't!The rolling fields of Shelby County are home to some of the finest horseflesh and bluest blood in Ke...
4 and ½ Stars - Sequel as Exciting a Pirate Story as the FirstOnce again, I disagree with the low reviews.This is the sequel to Robards’ ISLAND FLAME and it involves the same hero and heroine two years after their “happily ever after” in book 1. I gave the first story 4 and ½ stars and pretty muc...
Ronnie Honneker likes the idea of being Senator Lewis Honneker's wife much more than she actually likes being married to him. She may prefer the status of her marriage: the power, the prestige, the wealth, the comforts and beautiful things that such a marriage provides, but for Ronnie it is also ...
Overall, I thought this was a alright story. The fact the author used lots of the story to describe stuff was really annoying though. There were a lot of parts where I felt I was more skimming through, while looking for something to happen or just reading the dialogue.Questions/Comments:I couldn'...

Single mom, former delinquent and fresh on the scene district attorney Kat watsherlastname is caught in some mob business during a jail bust gone wrong and rushing in to save the day is detective T...
DNF at 37% with a little bit of "ick".I've never really given much thought to how long I've been reading romances. They have just always been lying around - on bookshelves, my kindle, library books, borrowed from friends, given away and fondly remembered, just always there. I talk a lot about S...
