Wendy the Super Librarian‘s review of Layover by Megan Hart Contemporary erotic romance eBook short story released by Harlequin Spice Briefs 1 Dec 08 Someone over at Harlequin was having an inspired moment when the decision was made to release Megan Hart’s latest Spice Briefs short story in December. Just in time for the holiday [...]

I really like Lisa Kleypas‘s novels. I’m sure you all know that. I don’t know Ms. Kleypas as a person, but I’m sure I’d like her in real life as well. Regardless, I can wax poetic on a number of her novels. Prince of Dreams, Dreaming of You, Suddenly You, and Because You’re Mine are [...]

It seems that the romance market is changing on both sides of the Atlantic. The UK market for romance means, to most readers, Mills and Boon. After M & B (part of Harlequin)’s fabulous exhibition last year to celebrate 100 years of existence, it seems that UK agents and publishers are finally realising that romance [...]

Sandy M’s review of In Love With the Bronc Rider (The Texas Homecoming, Book 2) by Judy Duarte Contemporary Romance published by Silhouette Special Edition 1 Jun 08 While this book isn’t a keeper for me, it is one of those tender and sweet stories that Harlequin/Silhouette authors do so well.  Both hero and heroine [...]

Sandy M’s review of With Every Breath (The MacLeods, Book 11) by Lynn Kurland Historical Time Travel Romance released by Jove 27 May 08 Once I pick up a time travel, the bug hits me all over again and I want another as quickly as I can put my hands on one.  Time travels are [...]

Shannon C.’s review of Retreat From Love (Brothers in Arms, Book 5) by Samantha Kane Historical erotic romance eBook released by Ellora’s Cave 17 Dec 08 When I read that Samantha Kane was coming out with a new release in December, I literally “squeed!”. Normally, I like to think I’m far too dignified for squeeing, [...]

Sandy M’s review of Lone Star Surrender by Lisa Renee Jones Contemporary Romance published by Harlequin Blaze 1 Jan 09 Lisa Renee Jones has become another favorite author of mine over the last year.  I’ve only read a few of her category romances so far, but I’ve thoroughly enjoyed and devoured each one.

Sandy M’s review of Enemy Lover by Bonnie Vanak Contemporary Paranormal Romance published by Silhouette Nocturne 1 Nov 08 I read and reviewed Ms. Vanak’s first werewolf Nocturne, The Empath, last year and absolutely loved it. That’s where we first meet Damian and Jamie, the hero and heroine of this book.  While I enjoyed most [...]

Shannon C.’s review of Jewels of the Nile, Vol. II by Samantha Kane, Anna J. Evans, Natasha Moore, Rebecca Airies, Maxie Cooper, and KyAnn Waters Erotic romance anthology released by Ellora’s Cave 20 Jun 08 I own several of Ellora’s Cave’s multi-author anthologies. I tend to not read many anthologies, because they’re so easy to [...]

Sandy M’s review of Highland Rogue by Tess Mallory Historical Time Travel Romance published by Berkley 6 May 08 I always enjoy a good time travel, and Highland Rogue is a good one.  It starts a little slow before getting down to the nitty gritty, but once there we get some great action, an involved [...]

Shannon C.‘s review of Kansas City Christmas by Julie Miller Contemporary romantic suspense released by Harlequin Intrigue 11 Nov 08 I know that, by the time you read this, you are probably not looking for another Christmas book. I know that I’m certainly not in the market for one now that the excitement of the [...]

Sandy M’s review of Slippery When Wet by Kimberly Raye Contemporary Romance published by Love Spell 25 Nov 08 I’ve been having luck reading and enjoying contemporaries lately.  Then I hit the proverbial brick wall with this book.  It’s not a really bad book.  It’s just not a really good book either.  It’s slow reading [...]

Shannon C.’s review of Midnight Man by Lisa Marie Rice Contemporary erotic romantic suspense released by Ellora’s Cave 12 Nov 04 I know that lots of people are fans of Lisa Marie Rice, even on this particular blog (Hello, Sybil!) I also have her last release TBR at some point, but I know she got [...]

Liviania’s review of Loose and Easy (Steele Street, Book 9) by Tara Janzen Contemporary romantic suspense released by Dell 26 Aug 08 I started Loose and Easy unaware it was the ninth in a series. By the time I finished I knew there had to be more books although I did not suspect there were [...]

Shannon C.’s review of Accustomed to His Fangs by December Quinn Contemporary paranormal erotic romance eBook released by Ellora’s Cave 1 Sep 08 The one sub-genre of romance that I tend not to read often is comedy. I just don’t find most wacky hijinks particularly amusing, and I find “Oh, look what an idiot the [...]
