Romance and Urban Fantasy Book Reviews
True to the Law takes us back to the town of Bitter Springs. We were first introduced to the town and its townspeople in The Last Renegade (which I quite enjoyed). Tru was hired as a schoolteacher by Raine, the heroine of TLR, and has been in town for a few months settling in. Unfortunately [...]
”I thought I could fix you.” “With make-believe?” “It had worked for me. Why not for you?” This book rocked. I loved the characters. You should read it. The End. …What? Not enough for you? I seldom love characters quite as much as I loved Alexi and Cat. It seems like more often than not [...]
*sigh* This author remains one of my absolute favorites. She can write the hell out of a book. I read her work and feel like she values my intelligence as a reader. (She doesn’t know me from Adam, but just roll with it) She doesn’t feel the need to shove things in my face to [...]

I’m back…the resident Cowboy Expert here at FVBR. Sophia always knows how to tempt me with a book – it either has a cowboy on the cover or “cowboy” in the title. Sadly, Cowboy Come Home just didn’t work for me. I kept with it until page 220 (out of 379) when I finally gave up. [...]

Twisting plots, clever dialogue, subtle characterization…it all works so [...]
I finished this book last night and I’m still conflicted. I honestly don’t know whether I liked it or not. It’s one of those grey books that leaves you with murky feelings and makes you wonder if you should check out the next book before you make up your mind. I found this book really [...]
Do you know what this book made me realize? I don’t seem to read any Westerns. The last Western Romance I can remember reading was Never Love a Lawman by Jo Goodman back in 2009, and that was only because I buy pretty much whatever she writes. Before that? Your guess is as good as [...]
Today Samantha and I are talking about Saddled and Spurred by Lorelei James. Since this is a book chat the following may be considered slightly spoilery. We’ve tried not to reveal anything key that would ruin the book for anybody, but everyone has a different opinion about what a spoiler is so keep that in mind [...]
