Review: Take My Hand
2008-04-13 20:55:00 Take My Hand by Angie WillisShe took his hand to break her fall, and then he took her heart.Take My Hand by Angie Willis is a quirky contemporary romance. Stunned Malaina Williamson opens her eyes to discover her dream man before her... inexplicably angry and accusatory. It isn't a great opening to a new relationship. Which is not exactly a big deal, as Malaina doesn't need a man in her life who'd speak to a woman that way, anyway. He might have the right looks, but his attitude is far far short of ideal. This fast paced start carries right on through this lively romance. Malaina is a completely plausible and delightful character. She reacts to events and behavior exactly as we think she should, and her firm grip on her self esteem is refreshing. Should she even trouble to discuss matters with ill-mannered Jack Mitchell, or simply storm off in a huff? Events rather get in her way... and her funny personality is enhanced by her still rather-little girl persona manifesting itself wh... More About: Review
Review: Silent Knight
2008-04-13 20:43:00 Silent Knight by Tori PhillipsSir Guy had the face of an archangel... Yet his vow of silence and monkish cowl hid thoughts that would make the devil blush! For the innocent beauty of Celeste de Montcalm was a temptation that he could scarcely resist. But was his urge to protect her from the evil lord to whom she was promised an honorable one, or just an excuse to claim the lady as his own?I was absolutely captivated by this third installment in the “Cavendish Chronicles” series, so much so that I didn’t want the story to end! The book opens with Celeste de Montcalm making a difficult journey from France to northern England. As the fifth of five daughters, she has been promised in marriage by her unfeeling, ungenerous father, to Walter Ormond. Accompanying her on the journey are her aunt, Gaston her protector, and a few other guards and horsemen. However, as they befall one misadventure after another, the group dwindles to just a few. Finally, they reach a small monastery, a... More About: Review , Silent

When the ex-cop learns that beautiful Resa Wade is being targeted by the same suspect who had cost Geoff his career and his family, he feels duty-bound to protect her.

Is giving in to unexpected passion the best way to flush out the perpetrator…and will Geoff and Resa be able to walk away when all is said and done?Silent Guardian is an engrossing thriller that grabbed my attention from the first paragraph with a perfect blend of tension and romance.The plot revolves around a serial rapist--which is not a story line I would necessarily choose--but unlike other suspense novels I’ve read and hated, the author here keeps the violence “offstage.” So rather than wallowing in the atrocit...

Worse, the rogue werewolf he'd been hunting had sensed that attraction and made Torry his prey. Forced to safeguard her from this ruthless assassin, who already posed a threat to his pack, Mason now faced the ultimate challenge.
