Entangled’s Bliss line has no overt sex in it – more of a ”door closes, fade to black” kind of thing – but in this edition there is no sex at all which I found charming. It’s a modern story, about modern people, but the author didn’t feel the need to have them jumping into bed together. Don’t get me wrong, I love a steamy romance too, but sometimes it is refreshing to have a story without it. Instead the emphasis was on the two of them getting to know each other better, overcoming their assumptions about each other and themselves. - Full review available at http://romanticreadsandsuch.wordpress.com/2013/09/12/flirting-with-danger/
If you are looking for a light-hearted crime romance that you can pick up and put down but will enjoy to the end, Sole Witness is the perfect choice. - Full review available at http://romanticreadsandsuch.wordpress.com/2013/09/16/sole-witness/
I loved the idea of One Day in Apple Grove (if you’ve read some of my past reviews you know I love quirky small towns) and I found myself liking the characters … most of the time. It’s a relatively simple idea that these two, who have known of each other all of their lives, reach a point where they can meet on a romantic level. It’s something that could happen anywhere, any day, and it is that realistic vibe that is so very appealing. But there were times when character interactions were just weird – either the dialogue was stilted or awkward, conversations just seemed unrealistic, or a character reacted in a way that seemed a little over the top considering the situation.

Honestly I love these Love Inspired books about the Amish because the romance is almost always tender and wholesome, while readers are given a quiet peek into the lives of the Amish as a family and a community. Plain Admirer is a sweet look at a man and a woman trying to find their place in the world and with each other. - Full review available at http://romanticreadsandsuch.wordpress.com/2013/09/21/plain-admirer/
An intriguing romance with a great mix of heart and suspense, Romancing His English Rose is a fun choice for those who are looking for a little edge to their love story. - Full review available at http://romanticreadsandsuch.wordpress.com/2013/09/23/romancing-his-english-rose/
A good portion of the book is spent trying to figure out what is going on, find who is behind everything, and to catch him. It’s great for those that like suspense but there isn’t a lot of romantic build-up, so those looking for more of a love story might be disappointed. If you don’t mind a good mix, though, Fiance by Friday is definitely a winner – full of humor, love and mystery, I couldn’t put it down. - Full review available at http://romanticreadsandsuch.wordpress.com/2013/09/24/fiance-by-friday/
Tempting Bella is a pretty straight forward historical romance – two people are thrown together, have bad opinions to overcome, and fall in love. It’s sweet and saucy and fun and a good choice for those who enjoy lords and ladies finding their happy ending. - Full review available at http://romanticreadsandsuch.wordpress.com/2013/09/25/tempting-bella/
Overall, I have to say that I enjoyed Love Overdue but I wish there’d been a little more going on between the covers. It’s an intriguing plot, full of fun and interesting people, warmth and charm, and just that perfect touch of humor, but I can’t help feel like I was left wanting more, which is a bit disquieting. I do recommend giving it a chance though – Morsi has a entertaining writing style and great ideas – and you might not find the holes that I did. - Full review available at http://romanticreadsandsuch.wordpress.com/2013/09/27/love-overdue/
I loved the fact that Nicholas and Mira are able to see more in each other than others do, looking below the surface and past the rumors to find someone worth loving. And Watson does a great job of mixing their growing relationship with the mystery, giving readers a good balance of both romance and suspense. Once Upon a Wallflower is a fantastic read and perfect for those that like their historical romances with that little extra bit of drama. - Full review available at http://romanticreadsandsuch.wordpress.com/2013/09/28/once-upon-a-wallflower/
Falling for the Teacher is a sweet story about letting go of the past, seeing past your prejudices and realizing that you have the power to be who you want to be. Full review available at http://romanticreadsandsuch.wordpress.com/2013/09/29/falling-for-the-teacher/
