Hmm.. this one really spells out the trust issue between Ben (the hero) and Molly (the heroine).I find the plots interesting, even though it is more towards run of the mill product. Simple and straight to the point. Molly, decided to return to her hometown at Tumble Creek, after she had enough of...
This is the kind of review I love to write: Wow, this book.... I've never read this author before, but it's safe to say I'll definitely read her again. I usually stick to historical and Highland romances, with the exception of Rachael Herron's contemporary romances, but this book was terrific. Gi...
I like Victoria Dahl's writing. The female characters are smart and strong in their own right. They aren't shrinking violets. The male characters are strong, but they have their own pasts and issues. I will never say that these romances are "realistic," but I am willing to suspend my disbelie...
Loving the characters in Tumble Creek! Lori and Quinn,so perfect together! His character is fun, kind of a spacey, nerdy "by the books" guy with a hidden sexy, alpha side...who knew?!? Lori is a feisty little "pixie" who just didn't know what she wanted out of life, geez kind of like me! There we...
I really enjoyed this book. I needed a break from vampire romance novels so this contemporary romance set in Boulder, Colorado, was the perfect choice. It was filled with real people in possible situations as apposed to some romance novels that are so totally contrived. Even the event at the conv...
I've been on a run of trying authors that are new to me, so I decided to check out Victoria Dahl, recommended here on goodreads as a funny contemporary romance writer. Talk Me Down was enjoyable, at times frustrating but funny enough to get me past some of the implausible problems the heroine fa...
This is the second book in a series about the Donovan Brothers Brewery. Jamie is the younger brother and more prone to get himself into trouble and be a pain for older brother Eric. Jamie always felt like he had to be bad because it was what he did until he met Olivia. She was told by her ex-h...
Donovan Brothers Brewery – Jamie Donovan – youngest brother – typical player in younger days – and is charming; runs the front house of the family Brewery; blames self for death of father and mother, who killed in car accident when going to pick him and friends up from a party he wasn’t supposed ...
This was better than I thought it would be. Yes, there were some very steamy scenes, but that really didn't make up the plot of the book at all (which for me was good because that wasn't what I was looking for in this book) although it did add some 'fun' to it.I really enjoyed the characters... ...
Luke Asher is a detective investigating the robbery of Tessa Donovan’s family brewery. Tessa develops an attraction to the handsome cop. Unfortunately, he doesn’t notice her because he has other things on his mind… rumors are swirling that he’s the father of his partner Simone’s unborn child. Mos...
Novel ini membuka cerita tentang "siapa sebenarnya Eric Donovan" sosok kakak tertua yg begitu kaku; bertanggung jawab; sangat tdk suka dg inovasi; begitu tergila2 dengan pabrik bir sampai dtg sosok "heroine" Beth Cantrel, seorang manajer White Orchard yg begitu menarik hati; lucu tetapi tertutup ...
Another solid read by Victoria Dahl. And it amused me that the main female character has my last name and is from Virginia.Chloe Turner has been deemed a Bridezilla by the press because her fiancé decided to crash his plan in order to fake his death so he could get out of marrying Chloe. Because ...
Fast paced and interesting. My problem with it was simply one I usually have with short stories. Abrupt endings and the way there is no time to develop certain aspects. Also it had that "created conflict" vibe, where there is no real reason they can't be together but the author needs to have a "p...
This romance was an absolute fireball where the two main characters are constantly debating and arguing with each other. If you like that kind of romance then this is the perfect story for you, but I don't really care for that kind of romance although the story is really great. I really felt th...
I've read many, many romances featuring the Elizabeth and Jane Bennets of the world, but this was my first romance novel which featured a heroine who overwhelmingly reminds me of Lydia Bennet. In this novel, spoiled unthinking brat Marissa gets her come-uppance and grows up. She recognizes her o...
Marissa is a woman who knows what she wants and isn't afraid to go after it. So when she decides to allow her latest love interest to relieve her of her virtue, she has no regrets (besides the fact the act was rather...er...lousy)...at least until her family comes stomping into the room to discov...
TERRIBLE.The story follows a prickly make up artist and an injured cowboy. He is immediately attracted to her and tries to spark a relationship. They embark on a sexual one but they are soon at odds. He discovers that she is responsible for bringing a film crew at his soon-to-be ranch. This resur...
I loved Walker and Charlie's story. It was full of twists, very hot sex, a great friendship, and fun secondary characters. A few of the issues readers had with this book weren't relevant to me. I felt that Dahl clearly explained Charlie's motivation for taking her job, keeping Walker at a distan...
Emma Jensen was raised by a man who loved to indulge in life’s pleasures, but she never thought the desensitization she went through as a child would help her when she became an adult. Posing as a widow, Emma heads to London with her new housekeeper who’s just escaped her abusive husband just bef...
I tried. I really tried to find a reason to both like and even finish this book but once I hit page 250 it was over and became a DNF. The read itself was dull. There was very little chemistry between the characters and the heroine just wasn't likeable. The deceit and lying just go on and on with...
For some reason I love the cover of this book, it's so colourful, sweet and romantic... (yes, I know it's pretty much the same with every other historical romance cover, where there's a couple nearly hump- *cough...cough*.... embracing each other).So, the story goes: Aidan and Kate fell in love t...
Probably the most accessible BDSM story I've ever read. I found the details about her past relationship a bit creepy, but the present day stuff reminded me of "The Secretary" (which I classify as Rom/Com and adore). I love it when a character finds strength and acceptance, and it's a wonderful ...
I liked this book what there was of it. The bdsm was light and I liked that it took place in the late 1800's Wyoming. The reason it deserves only 3 *'s in my opinion is because it was too, too short even for a short-story. The story just ended like the author couldn't think of what else to say...
Widow Lily Anders inherits her brother's house in Wyoming and leaves England to start a new life in America’s Wild West. Sexual desires she’s concealed after her husband's death return in full force when she recognizes the town's sheriff, Tom Hale, for the dominant partner he could be for her. Th...
