Livin' La Vida Llama ~ A Lighthearted Look at Life Over 60
Back in my bookseller days, when a customer would ask for recommendations in my section (Romance, of course), Sherrilyn Kenyon and her alter ego, Kinley MacGregor, were always in my list. The Forgotten, originally published as Born in Sin (as Kinley MacGregor), is one of the reasons why. This book grabbed me from the start,... Continue Reading →
I love Sherrilyn Kenyon's writing. So much so that I will pick up one of her books without giving it more than a glance, just to make sure I haven't already read it. This is an exception, and it won't be the last. I read this story when it was first published under her pseudonym:... Continue Reading →
Ohhh, I want to go to Brighton! That was my first thought when I read the title of this anthology. Anyone who is a fan of the BBC version of Pride and Prejudice knows exactly what scene that line is from. (Just for the record, this collection of stories is nothing like that.) So, as...

It's very rare that I find myself missing a book a few days after I finished it. This is one of those books. It's also one of those novels that starts at a simmer, then builds to a slow boil, and then becomes nearly impossible to put down! That's one of my favorite styles! The... Continue Reading →
Thank the gods there will be a fourth book! If you've been following the bouncing Llama when it comes to reviewing this series, you'll already know I'm madly in love with Jacquelyn Benson's work. I devoured Arrow of Fortune with pure delight, a perfect addition to what I thought was going to be a trilogy. I'm... Continue Reading →
Three brave women. Three very different time periods. Each connected by family ties and a wonderful building that served them all. In The Daring Women of New York, Abigail, Lillian, and Pamela's stories are deftly woven together to create a beautiful tale of strength and love. As each chapter ended and another began, I felt...

When I read a book I absolutely love, I find myself comparing it to some of my favorite foods. In the case of Secretary to the Socialite, it is most definitely caramel. You know that soft, creamy, dreamy stuff that tastes so good, you end up letting it slowly dissolve in your mouth instead of chewing... Continue Reading →
Oh my. Oh my goodness. Thank heaven there were no Jedi around to tell me, "This is not the book you're looking for, move along," when I realized this story was written in first person. Except it wasn't. Town of Shadows was the book I didn't know I was looking for. Thank goodness. Without boring... Continue Reading →
Oh, this was a heart-wrenching page-turner if ever I read one! It took mere moments before I was thoroughly engrossed within the pages of The Rebellious Lady and the Phantom Lord. At one point, I was so caught up in Pheadra's story that if it wasn't for my tummy grumbling for dinner, I had little... Continue Reading →
Maybe it's the weather or the holiday season that's finally upon us, but I cannot help but compare Magic of Moonlight to a freshly made cup of hot chocolate. Not just any hot chocolate, either, but one swirled with caramel-like prose and laced with humor like little marshmallows floating in the mug. Alex and Trudy's... Continue Reading →
