Captured Countess by Ann Lethbridge
The author has an intriguing couple here, but she puts them through a pretty mundane and uninteresting plot.

Strangers at the Altar by Marguerite Kaye
If the characters are sensible, this story would end on a high note by page 50. So, they are not sensible, and I am not happy.
The Duke’s Guide to Correct Behavior by Megan Frampton
This is a readable story, but a bit too precious for me. The dead horse of a plot kind of spoils the fun too.
Sinfully Ever After by Jayne Fresina
This book has issues… some not so good ones, but some good ones as well. And it makes me laugh out loud, so that’s good.
Destiny’s Captive by Beverly Jenkins
Freedom fighters! Ships! Sword fights! Well, scratch that, toss them away from a more typical story instead. Sigh.
Alanna by Kathleen Bittner Roth
It has ships and murder, and yet I feel like I’m trapped in some kind of wake where I don’t even know the fellow who died.
Innocent’s Champion by Meriel Fuller
Irritant’s Babysitter is a more accurate title for this story, but I guess it won’t be as marketable.
Outlaw Hunter by Carol Arens
Oh, we have an almost winner here. Never mind, here’s all my hugs and kisses anyway.
Trapped at the Altar by Jane Feather
Jane Feather almost returns to top form here. This one has a heroine that breaks all the rules, shame that the tale doesn’t entirely deliver.
Wish Upon a Snowflake by Christine Merrill, Linda Skye, and Elizabeth Rolls
Another very average Christmas anthology.
