This was a beautifully crafted magical romance between the sexy, accomplished but sad Dr. Nathan and the gorgeous, blue eyed, abstract painter Trent. When Nathan came to town he didn't know he would have a roommate and he didn't know  that he, himself was gay. The relationship between these two characters was sweet, funny, the insta-wet moments were hot, the places they went together were interesting, there moments romantic. The love they share for Bentley was incredibly sweet. Nathan's family is what everyone wishes for, the friends they made along the way were terrific. This is a terrific story to read if you want to feel good. The  romance magical, beautiful and perfect. I HIGHLY, HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK!!!!

Only a very special book can make you fall in love with a genre again. It Takes Two to Tangle did just that, rekindling my love of historical romance. Theresa Romain has a talent, a rare ability to blend beautiful writing, great characters, delicious banter and a lovely romance, all in one perfect package.

ITTtT is simply beautiful, inside and out; the cover sweeps you away to Regency England as does the story contained inside. Within a few chapters, I knew it was to be a favorite of mine, and I look forward to enjoying Romain's books again in the future.

I loved how the sparks flew between Henry and Frances. There were more than a few such passages that I marked, though I won't be sharing them today, as they were fairly long--sorry! You shall just have to trust me--if you love wit and banter in your romance (and who doesn't?) then you will love this book!

As wonderful as the story and characters are, it is Romain's writing that captured my attention the most. She has a way of writing that turns a seemingly simple scene into a powerful one.

Truly, her writing is gorgeous and it made me feel as if I were there with Frances and Henry. Well done, Ms. Romain, and thank you for this delightful story!

4.5 STARS!

I totally loved reading this romance. The settings of farm, horse and carriage, and immigrants making their way in a new country were captivating and I often stayed up late to keep reading. Joy, tragedy, tears, struggles, misunderstandings - all were there. Beautiful and believable writing and characters. I shall keep looking for Robin Lee Hatcher books.

This was my first book by this author, but I doubt it will be the last.  This story was just beautifully written.  The characters were young, but they were mature and handled the things life threw at them head-on.  They didn't make excuses for the way life happened or how they handled things.  I do wish that the timeline would've been a little longer.  I just felt that things happened quickly, but I loved watching the character development in the time frame shown as well as the memories of the past thrown in.  Beautiful story with beautiful characters!

I thought that this was a beautifully crafted story about two people who are attracted to each other.  One is established as a university professor while the other is a gardener, one is older while the other is younger, and one has had his heart broken while the other is afraid to give his heart a chance.  This is a journey between two people who essentially want the same things in life, forever love, trust and belonging to each other.  Can they navigate between their two worlds?  Wonderfully written!

Review : Finding Promise by Aneesa Price
 What a beautifully written romance. A few graphic sex scenes mean I will recommend this to mature readers only but they are written to enhance the romantic flow of the story and form a integral part of the story telling. I'm not big on pure, non plot driven romance but this is far from that. There is plenty of plot and story and emotion to keep you entertained all the way to the end. I hope Aneesa has plenty more books in store for the promise series. 5 stars all the way for this romantic beauty.

Loved this well written romance. It has all the ingredients I like: humorous heroine, real life struggle, happy ending with a great man who is hard working, hunky and appreciates the heroine to bits. I loved all the characters in the story. I'll keep this in my library and read this over and over.

This is a beautifully written contemporary romance with relatable characters and small town setting called Cherry Lake, Montana. I was entertained and engaged from beginning to end. I especially liked the chemistry, interaction and witty dialogue between photographer Carrie Logan and reclusive cyber-security expert Ethan Nash. I highly recommend HER SECRET PROTECTOR and look forward to reading more from Roxanne Snopek.

I was given a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This is a well crafted, lovely romance that I stayed up late to finish. The themes here are not new (spinster aunt comes West to care for dead sibling's children and meets not ready to move on widower). As it is a character driven book, I wasn't holding my breath to see what crazy thing the plot would do next. I simply really enjoyed being with Olive and Jacob and the childern and so I didn't want to leave them.

While much of the plot is like sitting in a well worn rocking chair and running your hands soothingly over the thumb shined wood, the characters all have extra notes of flavor in them that make this book one that I will reread again to savor their growth and just who they are. I won't tell you what the spices are because that will be your joy to find while reading this book.

The love story is real and sensual. This is especially impressive for a book that has a handful of kisses and lightly drawn wedding night at the end of the book.

Olive is a religious woman and at appropriate moments this aspect of her character comes into her thoughts. The hero is a wonderful father. In my opinion, the villain wasn't really needed because he and some of the backstory he is connected to could have been explored a bit more to give the book another layer of richness. However, with his role in the book, there is a nice bit of action and bravery at the end of the book that is moving.

I highly recommend this book and I am thrilled to have found this writer. I am always on the look out for a new good historical romance writer and I found one!

I'm not really sure that I can find the words to adequately describe how beautifully this book is written. It's so much more than your average sports romance. It's an exquisite tale about two people finding love with and in one another but also learning to love and accept themselves too. And also that we can't predict life and what will happen tomorrow, but we can do things that make us happy. We need to live for each day and make the most of every moment.

With that being said, I loved both Henrik and Jacqui. The chemistry between them was beautiful yet sizzling at the same time. I loved that Jacqui was able to find strength in Henrik. He became her rock, her comfort when she needed him. And I loved that Henrik was able to be his true self with Jacqui. She showed him how to love himself and others and that he could finally stop hiding.

All in all, you will go through every range of emotions with this book. And as one who is a quick reader, I couldn't zip through it. Because each chapter is a beautiful layer in this composition and like a fine wine, Penalty Play deserves to be sipped and savored slowly.
