Seducing Mr. Sykes – Maggie Robinson

Posted on July 22, 2017 by stewartry

I am so deathly tired of the abuse of the English language in books. If I want to hear the language butchered I can take out my earbuds at work and listen for five minutes. It’s not just in early … Continue reading →

After Glow – Jayne Castle – Joyce Bean

Posted on January 1, 2017 by stewartry

After I listened to the audiobook of the first book in this series, I looked at the icon for the second book on my computer and figured it was as good as anything to listen to while doing other things. … Continue reading →

Mystic Horseman – Kathleen Eagle

Posted on December 24, 2016 by stewartry

I have to say, I’m a little surprised (pleasantly surprised, even, maybe a little) that Kathleen Eagle is not herself Native American. She’s married to a Native American, like one of the main characters in the story was, and so … Continue reading →

Must Love Breeches – Angela Quarles – Jane Wells

Posted on May 23, 2016 by stewartry

I surprised myself by requesting this book from Audiobookloudnoise.com (kidding – it’s now audiobookboom.com). I mean, I’m not a big romance fan, and I generally object to the time travel romance (been there, done that, got the torn bodice), and … Continue reading →

Fly Me to the Moon – Mindy Klasky

Posted on April 16, 2016 by stewartry

Mindy Klasky is one of those writers who plays tricks on my brain. She was on my List (the roll of authors to follow and keep track of), but I had to go check and remind myself of what it … Continue reading →

Highland Soldiers 1: The Enemy – J.L. Jarvis

Posted on January 27, 2016 by stewartry

I enjoyed this a lot more than I thought I would. This isn’t to say I went into it with the intention of dissecting it like I seem to do so often to romances; I went into it like I … Continue reading →

The Code of Love – Cheryl Sawyer

Posted on January 23, 2016 by stewartry

I don’t know why this book was such a slog. There was nothing wrong with the writing; the elements of the story were just fine; the characters should have been engaging. But for some reason I had to fight my … Continue reading →

Stone Devil Duke – K.J. Jackson

Posted on January 15, 2016 by stewartry

I made it just halfway through this. I have no idea what all those five-star reviewers were reading; not this. It can’t have been this. You can’t really blame me for the length of this review; about half of it … Continue reading →

Unlaced: Kristina Cook

Posted on June 27, 2015 by stewartry

“Unlaced” was another in a string of failures to find something I once took for granted: a fun, satisfying, well-crafted book. I truly thought at several points that it would be a DNF, but I had made predictions about what … Continue reading →

Alchemy of Desire … could’ve been so good

Posted on July 16, 2014 by stewartry

This was a preview copy from Netgalley, thank you. (This is actually quite an old review that never got here, somehow.) I have a habit (bad? Maybe) of requesting advanced readers’ copies of books or such, downloading them in ebook … Continue reading →
