Trail of Kisses by Merry Farmer

Trail of Kisses by Merry Farmer I received a free copy of this book to judge for RomCon. I liked this book. I thought it was interesting to set it on The Oregon Trail. I liked the hero of the story. I wish he had been a little more developed, I thought he was a bit flat. I also did not really care for the heroine of the story. I liked her more around the last 50 pages of the book. I actually wish the book had been a bit longer and the the author taken more time to develop some of the characters and the relationship between Lynne and Cade. I wanted to see a bit more interaction between then that would have made their relationship just a bit more believable. Like I said in the beginning I thought the setting was interesting and brought back all the games of The Oregon Trail I played as a kid. I am interested in reading the next installment of the series because I was very interested in the couple the next book is going to focus on.

Seducing the Ruthless Rogue by Tammy Jo Burns

I received a free copy of this to judge for Rom Con. I love historical fiction, so I was very excited to receive this book. This is the first book I have read by Tammy Jo Burns. I really enjoyed this book. I think thing the setting was done well. I liked the characters and I loved how they interacted with each other. I did feel some of the characters where mildly inconsistent and it was hard to understand some of their motivations. I would have liked to see more development to some of portions of the story line. I was concerned with how quickly some of the conflicts were solved and the last third of the book I was not sure where the author was going with the story. I liked the ending and want to read more books by this author.
