Liviania’s review of Never Romance a Rake (Neville Family Trilogy, Book 3) by Liz Carlyle
Historical romance release by Pocket Star 22 July 08
I doubt anyone who read the other entries in the Neville Family Series can resist Baron Rothwell’s story. But even those unfamiliar with the other two can enjoy this novel.  The plot relies [...]

The Luuuuuve Triangle TGTBTU Exclusive Excerpt II

Sunday, August 31, 2008 9:00 2 Comments

Fabulous author Roxanne St. Claire was kind enough to send us some excerpts before she left to go out of town. AKA she will not respond to this till she returns… I think… who know what the hell she and Kresley Cole are up too. I am still crossing my fingers we get [...]

I haven’t read a book by Dawn Atkins before, but Harlequin Blaze is one of my category go-to lines, and No Stopping Now was a great find. The story wasn’t quite what I was expecting, and it [...]

Love It or Hate It, It’s Heeeerrrreeeee

Saturday, August 30, 2008 16:40 15 Comments

What’m I talking about? Well FOOTBALL of course! One of my favorite things is college football. I’m a big fan, but not die hard. (Although my sister and I are plotting ways we can catch the game while at a friend’s wedding in a few weeks. Actually, his wedding is a two day extravaganza.) Do [...]

Shannon C.’s review of Jackie and the Beanstalk by Jacqueline Meadows
Fantasy erotic romance eBook released by Ellora’s Cave 8 Aug 08

Dear San Antonio Public Library

Saturday, August 30, 2008 10:22 8 Comments

I know you are very busy so I wanted to help you out and tell you that we are two days away from September 1st.  We are no longer in July, so having a list of book sales that went on in July doesn’t help you or me.  Honestly it is rather mean of you.

REVIEW: Below the Belt by Sarah Mayberry

Limecello’s review of Below the Belt by Sarah Mayberry
Contemporary romance released by Harlequin Blaze on 1 Jun 08

I’m glad I read this book – because it was one I wasn’t sure about. I really like Sarah Mayberry’s writing, but… boxing? A female boxer? (No, I didn’t watch Million Dollar Baby.) Still, I did pick [...]

The Luuuuuve Triangle by Roxanne St. Claire

Friday, August 29, 2008 16:52 5 Comments

I’ve never written a love triangle before, and didn’t set out to, quite honestly. But then, I didn’t set out for NOW YOU DIE, the third book in the Bullet Catchers 2008 trilogy (and the sixth in the overall series) to be the book it is. When I proposed the trilogy, the three [...]

Limecello’s review of Heart of Stone by Diana Palmer
Contemporary romance published by Silhouette on 1 Sep 08

The newest installment in the seemingly endless Long, Tall, Texan series, Heart of Stone doesn’t really stand out from the rest. If you’ve never read one of Diana Palmer’s books before, I’d encourage reading one of her other [...]
