		<description><![CDATA[I always think it’s really interesting when an author sets up a character with a major flaw. I should clarify that by saying that I don’t consider flawed rakes to be very interesting. Frankly, there were apparently so many rakes in London that Home Depot would have sold them off for a dollar each (ha). Tessa Dare is a fairly new author, but she does something daring in A Lady of Persuasion: she sets up her heroine as a less-than-perfect sort of woman. In fact, Isabel Grayson is pretty close to being an uptight, overly pious, overly charitable twit. Except…she isn’t. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
The sad truth is that I read this book three times – before it was published. It’s not as if I’m desperate for reading material, either. I have the novels for my Barnes &#38; Noble column to read, and then all those novels that I might put in the column, but realize half way through that they won’t fit the topic (naturally, I keep reading), not to mention novels by authors whose books I never miss (see my Authors I Adore page!). I don’t have time to re-read books by debut authors, let alone a third go-around. But somehow every [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have a huge fondness for stories of (for lack of a better word) wacky heroines.  I don’t mean chick lit women, the ones who can’t balance their checkbook and lose their undies in the train station.  I mean the ones who are obstinately marching along to their own drummer, wearing funny hats, playing in a ukulele band, eschewing fish net stockings.  Susan Elizabeth Phillips has written some great ones, and so has another of my favorite authors, Christie Ridgeway.
Well, this last weekend I discovered Julia Harper’s contemporaries (she writes historicals as Elizabeth Hoyt) – and another [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Do you know what makes getting the flu acceptable? (And no, it wasn’t the swine flu…been there, coughed that, have the antibodies). It was the regular, uninteresting flu, and the only good thing about it was that I had five – FIVE – Elizabeth Hoyt novels waiting for me on my tbr shelf. So I read them. All of them. This is not acceptable behavior when you have a fever, because as mom always said, you’re supposed to sleep, not stay up at night reading. But I did it anyway.
Elizabeth Hoyt’s The Raven Prince is one of the most interesting, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This summer, my daughter tried sleep-away camp for the first time. How many ways can one spell the word DISASTER? She was so excited beforehand: she had her bag packed a week early, all the white tennis clothes in piles, along with the pink shirts that were supposed to prove that she was a girl not (as blind people tend to assume) a boy. Alas, in the first five minutes, she was directed to the boys’ dormitory. By the girls who turned out to be her new roommates. It went downhill from there.
Those of you who are parents know that [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Mary Jo Putney is a brilliant, original writer. She doesn’t stick to the beaten track, rehashing the clichéd plots that we’ve all heard a millions times before. Instead, she tackles the hard stuff of life – alcoholism, spousal abuse, prejudice – all those things that ignorant readers of Literature think you can’t find in a romance novel. When I encounter one of those skeptics, the ones who think that romances are nothing more than bedroom farces, I hand them Mary Jo’s The Rake or The Spiral Path.
I was so delighted to find she was writing a new historical series! Loving [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ 
I’m always being asked which novel is my favorite. For goodness’ sake, people, that’s like asking me which of my two children is my favorite! The only possible answer is: the book that isn’t whining at me at the moment – i.e., any novel that’s out of my computer, out of copyedits, out of proofs, and safely on the shelves. I have huge fondness for all my printed heroes and heroines. I miss them, especially the heroines. By the time a book is finished, each of my heroines has become my girlfriend. She talks to me in the middle of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[~buy this book~ 
I still remember discovering Susan Elizabeth Phillips – which happened to me, oddly enough, through an English bookstore in Florence, Italy. This was years ago. It was early evening and hot as the blazes (that was before my husband and I succumbed to installing air conditioning in his mother’s Italian apartment). So I was lying on a hot couch, drinking a gin-and-tonic, and reading SEP. And laughing. I laughed so hard that I fell off the couch and my husband accused me of drinking too much, thereby instigating a marital quarrel…
He was so wrong! I was drunk on [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[~buy this book~
I have to admit it. I love wallflowers. I think it’s the memory of a painful prom night sitting at the edge of the gym while couples circled the room to Stairway to Heaven, the girls with their arms limply around their partners’ necks. Since my date is now Out, I don’t count this as much of a personal failure (that’s my story and I’m keeping to it!).
But still…those charming memories mean that I have a huge fondness for a girl who isn’t circling the room in the arms of the football hero. And if she’s snappy and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[~buy this book~So Enchanting is one of the most original romances I’ve read in years – and I say that with full recognizition that originality is a fraught concept in romance. People often think that a newly published romance is just a cookie-cutter version of a previously published romance. “Marriage of convenience?” they scoff. “That old plot!”
Well, the truth is that there aren’t that many plots in the world. They’re all old – as Shakespeare understood. He took all but three of his plots from published work: Romeo and Juliet copies its plot from a poem of the same title; [...]]]></description>
