Before I start this – please remember I’m talking generalisations, about the zeitgeist. There are always exceptions to the rule, always exceptional people and situations, but citing their examples doesn’t make it the norm. Authors generally work with the fringes, with the exceptions, so there’s a real danger that they can become regarded as the [...]

Lawson’s review of This Duchess of Mine (Desperate Duchesses, Book 5) by Eloisa James Historical romance released by Avon 26 May 09 James’ Desperate Duchesses series and the first book start with meeting Jemma, the Duchess of Beaumont. From the first book through the fourth (has there really been four books in this series? . [...]

Sandy M’s review of Gotcha! by Christie Craig Contemporary Romance released by Love Spell 26 May 09 I love reading Christie Craig. This is her fourth book and she’s not once let me down when it comes to plot, characters, and especially humor. She’s a terrific new author and Love Spell/Dorchester is lucky to have [...]

I haven’t done a favorites post in a while, and after a few random conversations on Twitter (personal twitter accounts: limecello, gwen, c2, shannon, wendy)  I realized there were a wealth of favorites I could feature here. So that’s what I decided to do. Maybe this’ll happen again, maybe it won’t, but I had fun [...]

Limecello’s review of Private Property (Hauberk Protection Series, Book 1) by Leah Braemel Erotic romance ebook released by Samhain Publishing 29 Jan 09 I found Private Property through a contest that Moira Rogers is offering (50 series, or something like that). Leah Braemel’s story caught my attention, so I went to My Bookstore and More, [...]

Lawson’s review of Memoirs of a Scandalous Red Dress (The Bachelor Chronicles, Book 5) by Elizabeth Boyle Historical romance released by Avon 28 Apr 09 Gwen gave a review of Confessions of a Little Black Gown, which is definitely different than the way I felt about that book. But then I mentioned in my review [...]

One day I am soooo not going to say whatever is on my mind. That day wasn’t today…

Laura J’s review of Casual Hex (The Hex Series, Book 3) by Vicki Lewis Thompson Contemporary Paranormal Romantic Comedy released by Onyx Publishing 3 Mar 09 When I first started reading again, a friend recommended most of the books I picked up. She knew I liked romantic comedies, but for some reason she never told [...]

Liviania’s review of Swallowing Darkness (Meredith Gentry, Book 7) by Laurell K. Hamilton Paranormal romance released by Ballantine 4 Nov 08 I can’t quit Laurell K. Hamilton.  She writes a total piece of crap like Mistral’s Kiss and I think it’s safe to quit the Merry Gentry series.  Then she follows it up with A [...]

How Ya? I am slowly ‘trying’ to dip my toes back into the pond.  My internet is still touch and go but I am trying to work with it.  Lawson was a doll and let me babysit her laptop for a weekend.  So I am down from 1200+ emails

Lawson’s review of Vision in White (Bride Quartet, Book 1) by Nora Roberts Contemporary romance released by Jove 28 Apr 09 This is the first book in a new series by Nora Roberts. It’s also the first non-paranormal series of Roberts in a few years, and while those are fun, it’s nice to see a [...]

This just in… Nalini Singh has a lot of terrific news to share with fans. So listen up!

Shannon C.’s review of Say Goodbye by Lisa Gardner Suspense/thriller hardcover released by Bantam 15 Jul 08, paperback release 19 May 09 I came to read this book because Wendy the Super Librarian and super awesome Harlequin reviewer herself blogged about it. Since Sybil so kindly provided me with the e-copy that I read, I [...]
