Shannon C.’s review of Biting Nixie by Mary Hughes
Paranormal erotic romance eBook released by Samhain Publishing 13 Jan 09

Sandy M’s review of The Viscount Claims His Bride by Bronwyn Scott
Historical Romance released by Harlequin 1 Jan 09
Bronwyn Scott is becoming a favorite author for me. While I enjoyed this book, it doesn’t have the flare that, say, Pickpocket Countess has. The characters are very likable and well written. It’s just the story itself [...]

Gwen’s review of The Vampire’s Bride (Atlantis, Book 4) by Gena Showalter
Paranormal fantasy romance released by HQN 1 Mar 09
This is a varied and interesting series.  Its premise is that several paranormal species were created by the gods in their quest to create man.  The ones who were considered failures were sequestered in Atlantis and [...]

Deanna Raybourn’s Lady Julia Grey mysteries offer what I like to find in a modern Gothic novel.  In Silent on the Moor there is a family secret, an isolated manner, the sound of [...]

Wendy the Super Librarian’s review of The Earl’s Untouched Bride by Annie Burrows
Historical Regency romance released by Harlequin Historical 1 Feb 09
Every once in a while a book comes along that I know I shouldn’t like. It’s got characters who I want to throttle and conflict that makes my head hurt, but I [...]

I have a new release, “Tantalizing Secrets,” a historical set in the Georgian era. In it, the reader meets people from previous Secrets books, and gets to know what Peter gets up to in his own book (I’ve put the blurb and a brief excerpt below for you, but the book is only the springboard [...]

C2’s review of Vexing the Viscount by Emily Bryan
Historical romance released by Leisure 24 Feb 09
This review is going to be a bit different, gentle readers. I’ve had this book for the longest time and kept getting distracted. Real Life sometimes interrupts my reading schedule, don’t you know. Anyway, I try [...]

As of right now I don’t have the cover for this but I will updated it when I get it…
Unleashed will release October 2009!
And don’t forget about the contest…

Now that the kerfuffle surrounding Suzanne Brockmann’s latest Troubleshooters book, Dark of Night has died down a bit, we thought you might be interested in a discussion Lynne Connolly and I had about the book right after it was released.
The discussion topics are in bold, our comments are separated by our icons.
Must I say that [...]

Welcome once again to Duck Chat!
It’s only been two years since Jami Alden’s first book was published. A Taste of Honey started her on her successful and rapid rise in the romance industry.  After a few more releases, then came her Gemini Men series and Jami hasn’t looked back once. Today the second book in [...]

Sybil’s review of Kept (Gemini Men, Book 2) by Jami Alden
Romantic Suspense released by Brava 24 Feb 09
Derek is the serious, straight-laced brother and Ethan’s twin.  He is the rule follower and the one you can count on.  All in all, I didn’t have any expectations of Kept other than I needed to read it [...]
