You created some sensible points there. I did a research on the subject and found most folks can agree together with your blog.

Comment on Promise Me Tonight by Sara Lindsey by Elyssa Papa

I totally agree with everything you said, Eloisa. I was lucky to read this book before Sara signed with an agent and before it sold. When things didn’t seem so bright and cheerful in my life, I would find this book on my computer and reread it, and PMT made everything seem better. I think that the power and beauty of PMT is that it has that type of magic—it can take you away from the troubles and worries of real life and put you into a world where HEAs always come true.

Comment on War For The Oaks by Emma Bull by Pam

I know this is old, just wanted to weigh in. I love this book - I’ve almost worn it out. I personally think the pooka (black dog) is sort of meant to be similar to Prince (from When Angels Cry days).

I also wanted to recommend that you read any book by R.A. MacAvoy (excluding her Lens of the World series). Tea with the Black Dragon,
Damiano, Raphael, The Book of Kells - I envy any one reading these for the first time. I can’t recommend her highly enough. As good as Emma Bull is, she can’t hold a candle to this lady at her best.

After that, if you are lucky enough to find any copies, try any of the three books written by the genius Barry Hughart. You can still sample them at Amazon, and I take my hat off to them for not letting them fade away (these books were published in the 1980’s). I just bought myself The Bridge of Birds for Christmas, and plan on buying the other two also. I can never forget the amazing characters Master Li (he has a slight flaw in his character) and his sidekick Number Ten Ox.

I cut and pasted this from a review of Damiano: “MacAvoy has a way of bringing me into every scene, using precise language and memorable detail:

“His mind was flooded with the memory of this very pasture in the green of summer, when his father would treat the sheep with tar poultices and incantation. Grass up to his half-grown knees, except where the flocks had cropped it. It had been cool then, in the mountains, but pleasant. Sheep’s milk. Napping at midday, surrounded by curious, odorous, half-grown lambs.” “

I not only love Elosia’s books, but her taste is so close to mine that I just buy any book she reviews…I’m never sorry!

I loved my Christmas Doll lady too.

Loved this book! And all her books.
I’ve been a fan since Honeymoon. I don’t have the book in front of me, but I read the first line, something along the lines of “all day long Honey prayed to the god, Walt Disney”, and I was hooked! A fan for life!

I really enjoyed “The Raven Prince” as well. Funny, though, that when I had my husband read it, he looked at me as if I was crazy for liking the novel. His comment was that the guy was a jerk and he didn’t understand why (1) she’d put up with his behavior and (2) I thought the book was so romantic.

Comment on It Had To Be You by Susan Elizabeth Phillips by jes

I adore Susan Elizabeth Phillips’ Chicago Stars series!! I found it a couple of years ago and have since reread each book several times. Her character development is incredible. By the time you’re finished with the book, the characters feel like family you know them so well. I’m sad the series is over, it’s not easy to find well-written romances that center around sports, especially football.
