HighlanderI’m a fairly eclectic romance reader. Although there are a few genres I don’t read much, I’m open to most of them and I’ve sampled lots. There’s one big exception, though: I’m just not a fan of time travel.


I think my problem with time travel is that it strikes me as a somewhat limited concept. Basically, time travelers either adapt or they don’t. Either way, you inevitably have a period where t...

Beautiful Sacrifice by Elizabeth Lowell
Beautiful Sacrifice
by Elizabeth Lowell (Goodreads Author)
My rating:

add to my books
Not great Lowell. The plot is pretty far-fetched, and the characters not as compelling as some of her others. Still, it moves right along.

Live from New York by Tom Shales
My rating:
didn't like it it was ok liked it really liked it it was amazing
add to my books
Massive and detailed oral history of SNL. Fascinating at first, but it gets a little repetitive by the end. After a while the whining about Lorne Michaels not appreciating somebody or other gets a little tired.
Meg Benjamin gave 4 of 5 stars false to:
The Witness by Nora Roberts
My rating:
didn't like it it was ok liked it really liked it it was amazing
add to my books
The initial premise takes a certain amount of "willing suspension of disbelief", but the actual story is a lot of fun. This is one of Roberts' "mystery/thriller" books rather than straight romance.

Crystal Gardens by Amanda Quick
My rating:
didn't like it it was ok liked it really liked it it was amazing
add to my books
This is a typical Amanda Quick, which isn't a problem really. The concept of the fatal gardens is clever, although more could be done with it. If you're a fan, you'll enjoy it.
Meg Benjamin gave 4 of 5 stars false to:
The Tiger in the Smoke by Margery Allingham
My rating:
didn't like it it was ok liked it really liked it it was amazing
add to my books
An interesting blend of classic and modern. It's not as revolutionary as some critics claim, but it's appealingly creepy. And the ending is stunning.

Much Ado About Rogues by Kasey Michaels
My rating:
didn't like it it was ok liked it really liked it it was amazing
add to my books
A fitting ending to a great trilogy. Black Jack is a wonderful hero, and the conclusion is satisfyingly complex.

Three-Day Town by Margaret Maron
My rating:
didn't like it it was ok liked it really liked it it was amazing
add to my books
Interesting mixture of voices and POV. Maron brings her two series--Sigrid Harald and Deborah Knott--together seamlessly. I have some quibbles with the ending, but overall a good addition to both series.
