Typical blackmailed mistress Presents, but better than many I've read. The heroine isn't too much of a doormat (though for a doctor, makes some pretty basic mistakes); the hero is a major jerk, of course, but does see the error of his ways.
The conflict was also interesting: the hero and heroine had been in love seven years previously, but his assumption that she would give up her career to marry him made them fight. His hold over her is her niece, whom she was the egg donor for. (!) Good read for when you're in the mood for that kind of thing. ]]>

An easygoing, beta vampire hero, that's fun for a change! And a pretty good story, although a bit stupid and anticlimactic in places. I prefer a high-drama story and Sands seems to be deliberately going for low-key in this one, except for an intense ending. ]]>

One of those romances that, without being in any way distinctive, is just a good, satisfying read. It's the last in the Kenyon family series (also known as the "Rosebud" series) and doesn't feel quite right as a stand-alone; although none of the Kenyon family actually appears until the end, they are so important to the heroine (who loves them) and the hero (who hates them), that it feels a little as if background information is missing, even though I don't think you will learn significantly more about the characters or situation from reading the other books first. There are a few implausibilities, too. Still, an overall enjoyable story for those who like Regency romance with a touch of mystery. (I actually hate mystery plots in romance, but this one wasn't too intrusive, or as glaringly obvious as usual.) ]]>

Oh, the doing and undoing. She rejects him, then changes her mind. He rejects her, then changes his mind. Lather, rinse, repeat. He sails away then comes back. Then sails away and comes back. Everyone's against them, then everyone's for them. On and on, ad nauseum. I felt some for the characters, who were in a truly difficult situation, but the book overall was repetitive and tiresome. ]]>
