Devon’s review of The Girl Who Came Back by Barbara McMahon Contemporary Romance released by Harlequin SuperRomance 13 Dec 05 After staying up way past my bedtime to polish off most of The Girl who Came Back, I stand by my earlier observations about Harlequin SuperRomance: even when there are issues, these books suck me [...]

This was first posted on 12/16/07 As I have been thinking a lot on reviews and grading (again) I figured you guys should be too . If you commented before (click the date it was first posted) do you still think the same? If you missed the post the first time what are your thoughts? [...]

Most days I feel like I’ve been skulking around the online romance community forever. But Sybil asked me to properly introduce myself, and who am I to deny Sybil? So here it is – Super Librarian 101. I discovered the joys of reading through mystery novels, which to this day are my first love. I [...]

Lawson’s review of Compromised by Kate Noble Historical romance released by Berkley Sensation 4 Mar 08 When receiving this book, I will admit I was not very excited. Okay, so I was bad and didn’t even read the blurb until I had finished the first couple of chapters. When you’ve got a story with pratfalls [...]

Marg’s guest review of The Lost Duke of Wyndham (Two Dukes of Wyndham, Book 1) by Julia Quinn Historical Romance published by Avon 27 May 08 Big sigh…. I just finished reading this book in a day. If I hadn’t had to go to work it would have been quicker, but apparently I don’t get [...]

I figured that if I wait until I have time to do full reviews of these six books, airborne porcine would be commonplace. So I decided to just do it – write a bunch of quick hits. These are all over the place as far as genre and release dates, so bear with me. Below [...]

Devon’s review of Your Scandalous Ways by Loretta Chase Historical Romance released by Avon 27 May 08 A courtesan is the heroine of this book. An honest to goodness professional mistress, a harlot who accepts jewelry, money and other gifts in return for the pleasure of her company. Intriguing. I know it’s been done before, [...]

Elyssa Papa’s review The Lost Duke of Wyndham (Two Dukes of Wyndham, Book 1) by Julia Quinn Historical Romance published by Avon 27 May 08 There are great romances and then there are great romances. Julia Quinn’s latest offering, The Lost Duke of Wyndham, is a great romance. What makes it great, you may ask? [...]

We’re on a roll here, and here’s another contest of which a winner is needed. And how exciting that Kathryn Smith is giving away two copies of this book to two lucky winners? This series sounds very interesting and it’s not her only book coming out this summer. Go here to read an excerpt. The [...]

Starting a little bit of a roll here, I suppose. That and Sybil has cracked the whip and demanded these contest winners get posted by the end of the day. Which is good news for the winners, but to be honest I would rather be reading. What? Don’t judge me, I’m being a good duckie [...]

Ok, so the Duckies have been so very remiss as to announce the winner to this contest. The contest is now TWO MONTHS OLD. Right, well better late than never (really Lawson was waiting for it to show up so she could read it and I had to break it to her that no hon [...]

Seductive Secrets (Secrets Trilogy, Book 1) by Lynne Connolly This will be available on June 10. I am very interested to see what you all think of it. For the most part I really liked it but it still doesn’t equal my fave of hers. Personally I just want her to write more historicals .

Gwen’s review of Under Your Spell (Witches of Mayfair, Book 1) by Lois Greiman Paranormal historical romance released by Avon 27 May 08 I’ve decided that I like either historical romances or I like paranormal romances. I’m not sure that a historical paranormal romance is for me. The last few I’ve read just feel like [...]
