The Night Ferry

Sandra Hyatt — Thu, 30 Oct 2008 02:38:11 -0400

This one was a straight suspense lent to me by a friend who assured me I'd getting nothing done till I'd finished reading it. She was right. The novel centres on the lengths a woman can go to to get a baby (sometimes unwittingly) and involves people trafficking and all sorts of other nasties. A gripping read.

Lord of Scoundrels

Sandra Hyatt — Mon, 20 Oct 2008 22:25:11 -0400

An older historical romance that still consistently makes the lists of all-time favourite romances - and it's not hard to see why.

Lord Dain has steered away from respectable females his whole life but he can't seem to stay away from Jessica the 'spinster virgin', who is his match in wit and intelligence and, as it turns out, for his soul.

The Shadow and the Star

A historical romance with a scarred hero with a deeply troubled past, and a heroine with a troubled present. A lovely story.

Just One of the Guys

Sandra Hyatt — Thu, 25 Sep 2008 04:53:08 -0400

Another good read from Kristan Higgans. Chastity is the younger sister of four brothers and has always been 'one of the guys'. But what she's wanting these days is what her brothers have - marriage and children. Mr Clearly Right (a handsome trauma surgeon) enters her life but then there's also the man she really wants (the guy who's almost another brother who she's loved since she was 10).

Angels Fall

You can't go wrong with a Nora Roberts book. In Angels Fall, Reece Gilmour is a heroine trying to reclaim her life after a traumatic past event. As the sole witness to a murder in the town she's trying to settle in she turns to Brody, the only person who truly believes her story.

The Warrior's Touch

Sandra Hyatt — Mon, 15 Sep 2008 03:06:17 -0400

This was a wonderful story with great characters and constant twists and turns in the plot that kept me turning the pages.

Aileen O'Duinne is a healer banned from healing, but when she finds Connor MacEgan a warrior whose broken hands will stop him from living the only life he knows she has no choice but to help him.

Catch of the Day

Sandra Hyatt — Sun, 07 Sep 2008 00:30:26 -0400

I've just finished reading this book, and it was wonderful. Set in Maine it had a funny, endearing heroine, a strong, silent (really silent) hero, and a great plot. I can't wait to get my hands on her earlier and next books.

Sea Witch

The story of police chief Caleb Hunter and the mysterious Magred, a woman he encounters late one night on the beach.

I've always enjoyed Virgina Kantra's books, and this one, although the first of hers that I've read with paranormal aspects, I enjoyed just as much as all the others.

Eat, Pray, Love

Sandra Hyatt — Wed, 16 Jul 2008 04:18:42 -0400

A non fiction book about a woman who takes a year to travel and 'find' herself after a painful divorce. Set in three countries; Italy, where she eats wonderful food, India where she lives on an ashram and does lots of meditating, and Indonesia where she falls in love again. This was an interesting and thought provoking read. I enjoyed it.

Black Sheep

Sandra Hyatt — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 17:12:16 -0400

I always enjoy Georgette Heyer - her wit, her characterization - so I was very happy to be given a copy of this book. Even better was that it was one I hadn't read before, and even better than that was it was my favourite type of hero and heroine, the hero, careless of the world's opinion of him and the heroine, older and not expecting love to come her way.
