Review: Mind Games by Merline Lovelace

Thursday, March 27, 2008 1:00 3 Comments

Alicia’s review of Mind Games by Merline Lovelace Paranormal romance released by Silhouette Nocturne on 1 Apr 08 If I’m going to read a paranormal romance, it’s probably about psychic ability. Not communicating with the dead or predicting the future, but telekinesis or telepathy. Though they aren’t as common as the witches, vamps, and weres [...]

Seems like a good idea, considering that between Silhouette Nocturne, HQN, Mira and Luna, Harlequin publishes a wide variety of paranormal romance. I contacted JennyB, Harlequin’s Digital Content Manager, to find out more about the blog.
