New Books, Old Books, Read Books!
It’s been years since I read this book. With a new entry in the series on the shelf, I felt that it was an excellent time to start re-reading the series. This book starts the series out with a howl and introduces a great protagonist.

Juwell is an outcast that is ignored by his family and failed out of the army. Eunice feels like an outcast and unable to live up to the expectations of her family and people. This story is as much about accepting ourselves and others as it is a love story.

Wyatt was the hardest of the Montana Marshalls books for me to get through. It’s a roller coaster ride of hockey, fight scenes, anxious hospital rooms, and politics in addition to relationship ups and downs. Mikka was an adorable addition to the cast, and it was nice to get more insight into Gerri and York’s characters. Unfortunately, Wyatt and Coco never really meshed well as a couple for me.

Beauty and the Beast is my favorite fairytale, primarily because it is the one where the couple’s love doesn’t happen at first sight. I am always interested in reading an author’s take on the classic tale and how they see the couple coming together. I read several glowing recommendations for this book and was excited to give it a try. Unfortunately, my only thought as I closed the book was, “What a waste of potential.”

Reviving the Commander is a beautiful story about love after loss and hope in whatever circumstances you find yourself. While the story starts slowly with the backstory for the land and various character’s introductions, the story hits it’s stride and keeps a steady pace through to the end. If you are looking for a romance starring a couple past their “prime” and a clean read, this book is for you.

I’m supposed to be reading my sister-in-law’s newest book right now, but I’m not in the right frame of mind for reading suspense. (Sorry, Suze!) I finally decided to scour my bookshelf for a funny, slightly ridiculous romance and landed on Single White Vampire. I have to say I pretty much got what I wanted.

It makes me feel like a bad fan when I have to say that I did not enjoy a book by one of my favorite authors. Unfortunately, that is the case with Highland Jewel. Jim and Nikoo made Edinburgh in 1820 come alive, but Maisie, Niall, and their relationship never clicked for me.

May McGoldrick, aka Nikoo and Jim, hit all the right notes for me with this book. The Radical War of 1820 makes a suspenseful backdrop for this tale, the characters are vibrant, and Jean is great at stealing the scene from Isabella and Cinaed.

Most Regency-era novels take place in England, so it is a refreshing change of pace for this book to be set on the continent. The tiny country of San Gabriel gives an up-close view of the devastation of the Peninsular Wars. A French general, Baudin, retreating through the country left a large swath of destruction in his wake and took the king and crown prince as prisoners. This devastation makes a magnificent backdrop for Will Masterson and Athena Markham’s growing relationship.

Overall, this is a solid entry in the Dark series. New forms of old enemies emerge, and another ancient finds his lifemate.
