REVIEW: Fall Into Me by Linda Winfree
LauraD's review of Fall Into Me (Hearts of the South, Book 7) by Linda Winfree
Contemporary Romance eBook released by Samhain 6 Jan 09
I've got to admit, I give a big fangirl squee every time I see that Linda Winfree has a new title coming out. Several of her books are among my favorite "comfort reads", and that includes varieties both "tree" and "e". So how does her newest measure up? Read the story »

Shannon C.'s review of Seduced by Magic (Magical Seduction, Book 1) by Stephanie Julian
Fantasy erotic romance eBook released by Ellora's Cave 5 Mar 08
When Stephanie Julian e-mailed us requesting that someone review something of hers, I gladly agreed to do so, since her premise looked interesting. Unfortunately, while there were quite a lot of things I liked about the book I read, I'm not sure I can recommend it with the heartiness that Ms. Julian would no doubt prefer. Read the story »

Sandy M's review of Gone with the Witch (Triplet Witch Trilogy, Book 2) by Annette Blair
Contemporary Paranormal Romance published by Berkley 6 May 08
I so enjoy Annette Blair's books. They're just plain old fun. They have some of the snappiest banter I've ever read. And they're as sexy as hell. For those days you have no idea what you want to read, crack open one of Ms. Blair's books and you'll be smiling for days to come afterward. Read the story »

Gwen's review of Veil of Midnight (The Midnight Breed, Book 5) by Lara Adrian (warning! site has music)
Contemporary paranormal action romance released by Dell 30 Dec 08
This series consistently surprises me - in a good way. Just when i think it's going to go down a predictable path, it veers just a bit to the left or right. Something I find to be very cool in what can be a very formulaic genre. That's not to say I didn't have a bone or two to pick with the book - au contraire. I did. But I did like reading it... mostly.

Sandy M's review of A Seduction at Christmas (Scandals and Seductions, Book 1) by Cathy Maxwell
Historical Romance published by Avon 28 Oct 08
Yeah, I know Christmas is said and done, but this book just came in the mail and something pulled me toward it, made me open it up and start reading. I finished it in less than 24 hours. This is a fun, light-hearted read cut with a swath of danger and has very engaging characters. It's my first book by Ms. Maxwell, and after the joy I received from this one, I'm looking forward to reading more in the future. Read the story »

DUCK FLASH: Your Help Is Needed
This just in...
I'm glad Sybil sent this story to me for a Duck Flash. I was in this very situation just a little less than two years ago. I know from experience how scared, how frustrated, how close author Sharon Cullars is to the end of her rope. My ride along this road ended badly, I lost nearly everything. I wasn't able to find the right help, so I'm now trying to help someone else stay off such a demoralizing path. Please read further and give some very needed help, even if it's just spreading the word.

Wallflower Love & A Wallflower Giveaway
I really like Lisa Kleypas's novels. I'm sure you all know that. I don't know Ms. Kleypas as a person, but I'm sure I'd like her in real life as well. Regardless, I can wax poetic on a number of her novels. Prince of Dreams, Dreaming of You, Suddenly You, and Because You're Mine are some of my favorites.
But this is a post about the Wallflower Series. (I suppose I could talk about the most recent A Wallflower Christmas, but ... why when you can win one and find out for yourself?)
