Book Review: Robin’s impression of Marriage Training by Golden Angel

The latest I Love Romance Blog review selection is Marriage Training by Golden Angel. Take it away, Robin! Thanks! Marriage Training, by Golden Angel, is a steamy Victorian erotica detailing the exploits of an innocent, young woman named Vivian and her dark, mysterious Earl. After meeting, and falling in love with Vivian at a wedding, Lord Gabriel decides to support Vivian and her family by financing her finishing school.

Book Review: V.B.’s impression of Heart’s Blood by Alice Von Kannon

The latest I Love Romance Blog review selection is Heart's Blood by Alice Von Kannon. Take it away, V.B.! Thanks! This book is an excellent historical romance. I liked that it was set in notorious Salem Massachusetts, but in 1803. The author did an excellent job with the historical facts and vernacular. She puts you in the timeframe. Like other reviewers, I felt the story took time to build. It was slow moving at first, but I didn’t mind, because it helped me understand Issac and Eleanor better. Then, by halfway in, I was ready for the drama to start, and boy did it ever...

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...
