Devon’s review of Hallowe’en Husbands by Lisa Plumley, Denise Lynn, and Christine Merill
Historical Paranormal Romance Anthology released by Harlequin Historical 1 October 2008

This anthology features three stories, set in different places and times, against the backdrop of Halloween. The crisp autumn atmosphere was nicely captured, that mysterious element in the air that makes you [...]

Gwen’s review of Kiss of a Dark Moon (The Moon Chasers, Book 2) by Sharie Kohler
Contemporary paranormal romance released by Pocket on 30 Sep 08
What’s with me lately and always catching Book 2 of a series? Somehow I miss these when they first come out. I need to take that up with management… [...]

Sandy M’s review of Come to Me Freely by Beth Kery
Contemporary Erotic Romance eBook released by Ellora’s Cave 16 Jul 08
I think it’s Beth Kery’s contemporary books that speak to me more than any of her other I’ve read so far.  Not that her historicals and paranormals aren’t worth reading.  Far from it.  There’s just [...]

Many writers have soundtracks to their books, soundtracks they occasionally make public. With the media players available, it’s a snap to create a list of music you love to get you in the mood for writing.
Sometimes albums are released that you can play straight through, and somehow they work. I have a few. Not too [...]

Sandy M’s review of Razor Girl by Marianne Mancusi
Futuristic Romance published by SHOMI 26 Aug 08
I’m really surprised at my reaction to this SHOMI. The few I’ve read so far I’ve absolutely loved. I so enjoy the offbeat, quirky futuristic aspects of these books while still giving me a wonderful hero and heroine [...]

Gwen’s review of The Hiding Place by Karen Harper
Contemporary romantic suspense released by Mira 1 Nov 08
I like Harper’s writing.  I do.  I just don’t like how she limits her story-telling.  This is an interesting story with some unique elements that I can just see happening in a “movie of the week” (and probably have).  [...]

Sandy M’s review of Scandalizing the Ton by Diane Gaston
Historical Romance published by Harlequin Historical 1 Oct 08
What an enjoyable book this is.  Love and romance, gossip and scandal, and friendship portrayed with honor and dignity.  We’re also given a close-up look at what could have been the start of the modern-day rag mags and [...]

LauraD’s review of My Husband’s Sweethearts by Bridget Asher
Women’s fiction hardcover released by Delacorte Press 19 Aug 08

It’s an interesting premise — a dying husband being nursed by not only his wife, but his many girlfriends as well. Bridget Asher takes a totally fresh idea and runs with it, resulting in a bittersweet chronicle [...]

Shannon C.’s review of Crossing Swords (Emissaries of Belthalas Series) by Kirsten Saell
Erotic fantasy romance eBook released by Samhain Publishing 11 Mar 08
I’m still enough of a baby reviewer that I can count on both hands the number of authors I actually would call friends. So I’m still anxious about reviewing them when [...]

Lynne Connolly’s reviews of the Throne of Judar Trilogy by Olivia Gates and The Billionaires’ Brides Series by Sandra Marton
Contemporary romances released by Silhouette Desire & Harlequin Presents
I’ve been in bed for a week with the flu for the past week, and all I could do was read. So, being woolly-headed, I went for [...]

This is oddly catchy, what you think? And is the are the lyrics suppose to be ironic?

What? Gwen would have posted polka or some crap

Shannon C.’s review of Taken Unaware by Summer Devon
Futuristic romance eBook released by Samhain Publishing 7 Oct 08
I like aliens-come-to-Earth stories. I think it’s interesting to speculate about what people would actually do if that happened, and what changes would take place. In Summer Devon’s latest, she explores these themes in a story [...]

Shannon C.’s review of The Lies of Locke Lamora (Gentlemen Bastards, Book 1) by Scott Lynch
Fantasy fiction released by Spectra 26 Jun 07
I’ve been in a fantasy mood lately, and so have unearthed a few fantasy books from my ginormous TBR to assuage this mood. One of these was Scott Lynch’s debut, The [...]

Liviania’s review of Hotter After Midnight (The Others, Book 1) by Cynthia Eden
Contemporary Paranormal romance released by Brava 1 May 08
I do not believe I’ve mentioned this on TGTBTU before, but I do an Internet radio show once a month.  The first time I did the show was a bit of a fiasco at the [...]
