ok I have to be ahead now… right? another DiW review can I get a WoOT!

Leda Swann was one of the authors who joined us for Avon Red Week. I completely fell in love with the cover for Sugar and Spice. Sadly this turned out to be one of those times where the cover was the best part. Genre: Erotic Romance (I think… could be Erotica) Grade: D- Sensuality: Burning [...]

I admit I have a hard time remembering titles but good night, just about every title Charlotte Boyett-Compo has uses the word wind. Her website url is even Windledgends. I am guessing this is an attempt at branding but it is so not working for me. How about you guys? Are you able to keep [...]

Set in 1926′s New York City, it will published by HQN in late 2007. The book will be given its own sub-page on my [...]

I can’t find Tangled by Mary Balogh! This irks me greatly. I know I had the damn thing in my hand. And now am wondering if I had an attack of guilt and didn’t buy it because I have sooooo many book. blah blah blah Had no want to read it. Wouldn’t have gotten to [...]

Do you remember Shameless by Karen Robards? If you don’t it might be because it was first called Reckless… or at least that is how I recall reading about it in the Romantic Times. This is the long awaited finish to the Banning Sisters Trilogy. And it is… drum roll… historical! not romantic suspense. And [...]

from Laurie’s Likes and Views #77: More on Mother’s Milk: I know that the publisher at Slake did an editorial about breast-feeding in romances some time ago, but in light of that Beverly Barton book, I’d like to re-open it up for discussion Slake editorial by Suzanne Goodwin for odd people like me who care [...]

A small part of Jane’s response in If You Can’t Take the Heat, mentioned Passion’s Breastfeeding sex bit: Further for Ms. V to write that she didn’t expect this type of response also seems a bit ridiculous. Her book was filled with extreme and provocative sex scenes (sex while breastfeeding?). Of course, there was going [...]

If I recall correctly, quite a few people were very happy with Hope Tarr’s last book. I forget the title but it was a historical! Next up for her is a Blaze… It’s a Wonderfully Sexy Life Baltimore street cop Mandy Delinski isn’t expecting any miracles this Christmas. She’s thirty, a little too round, still [...]

I have had the pleasure of chatting with some of the most amazing people in romanceland. There was once a time, prolly about six months to a year ago, when you could find a group of us online most nights. Sometimes it would be three peeps, sometimes 20. But is was always fun, crazy, confusing [...]

Have anything to add? Any other authors… newbies or the oldies have have letters of your own?

My take on Passion was a largely favorable one. I liked it. With each reread, I liked it more. But one thing I noticed she seemed to get too involved with the discussions on message boards. As a reader I like talking about books with the authors. Yes shocking I know *g*. But there gets [...]

I have talked about this before so I won’t even get into how silly I think it is to assume an authors values, morals or world views based on the fictional characters she/he creates. Since an author is one person it seems all they would be able to write is one character. Does it happen? [...]
