Book Review: V.B.’s impression of Hearts Abroad by Skye McNeil

The latest I Love Romance Blog review selection is Hearts Abroad by Skye McNeil. Take it away, V.B.! Thanks! This book is a light-hearted romance that blends the summer fling trope with those of finding a millionaire to love, and loving the boss. I really enjoyed how the author wrote Londyn and Callum’s attraction. It’s steamy and just keeps building.  As advertised, this book is easy to read and fun. The supporting characters are appealing, and the humor comes from klutziness, snarky comments, and Londyn’s quirks. At first you wonder what she could possibly offer Calum, but over time things sync...

Book Review: V.B.’s impression of The Hitman’s Mistake by Sally Brandle

The latest I Love Romance Blog review selection is The Hitman’s Mistake by Sally Brandle. Take it away, V.B.! Thanks! This book has an imaginative opening that pulled me right in. Miranda is personable and Grant is just freakin’ sexy. If you like crime/suspense romance for hunky FBI agents, here’s an awesome one. It also mixes in Montana cowboy vibes for those of us who love horses. I read it in one sitting; I just had to see how things turned out. Nothing is too trite, and the mystery unfolds without being too obvious. The author does an excellent job moving you through the scenes as the story unfolds...

Book Review: V.B.’s impression of Shore Love by Gary Robert Muschla

The latest I Love Romance Blog review selection is Shore Love by Gary Robert Muschla. Take it away, V.B.! Thanks! This book is exactly what its description suggests, a quick beach-read love story. I agree that it has all the ingredients for a cozy afternoon read…A heroine forced to go back to a childhood place. A hunky ex-boyfriend living there successfully without her. Divided loyalties all around. Topped off with a satisfying ending.  However, the story felt a little cliché to me. That’s not necessarily a bad thing. The writing is nice. The dialogue is well done and believable. The characters are sweet, and I enjoyed how...
