Sandy M’s review of In His Mind (Raynes Paranormal Investigations, Book 3) by Cheryl Dragon Contemporary Paranormal Erotic eBook short story released by Cerridwen Press 4 Feb 09 I don’t read male/male books very often, mostly because I’ve yet to find many that work for me. I tried this one because the blurb didn’t sound [...]

Lawson’s review of The Immortal Hunter (Argeneau Vampires, Book 11, or Rogue Hunters, Book 2) by Lynsay Sands Paranormal romance released by Avon 31 Mar 09 I am a fan of Sands’ Argeneau or vampire (Immortals) series and will probably be for some time. This isn’t to say that some of the books are better [...]

Shannon C.’s review of Desire Unchained (Demonica, Book 2) by Larissa Ione Paranormal romance released by Forever 3 Mar 09 It says something about the compellingness (is that even a word?) of an author’s series when it doesn’t take me six months between reading books. I didn’t wait long at all between reading Pleasure Unbound [...]

LauraJ’s review of All Tied Up (Pleasure Inn, Book 1) by Cathryn Fox Contemporary Erotic Romance novella released by Samhain Publishing 19 May 09 How does she do it? Cathryn Fox is able to create stories in a short amount of space and you still feel like you have read a regular full length novel. [...]

Sandy M’s review of The Sinful Life of Lucy Burns by Elizabeth Leiknes Paranormal Chick Lit Women’s Fiction published by Bancroft Press 15 Jun 09 This isn’t the usual type of book I read, but when it was offered up by the publisher for review, and after reading the blurb, I thought why not. And [...]

Welcome to another fun day of Duck Chat! Harlequin Historical author Bronwyn Scott is joining us today. Bronwyn’s first book with HH is the one with a really fun cover, Pickpocket Countess.

Liviania’s review of Skin Trade (Anita Blake Vampire Hunter, Book 17) by Laurell K. Hamilton Urban fantasy released by Berkley 2 Jun 09 I started Skin Trade with high hopes.  The last Merry Gentry book, Swallowing Darkness, was high on plot and low on sex scenes that didn’t advance character development or plot.  Skin Trade [...]

Holly‘s review of A Not-So-Perfect Past by Beth Andrews Contemporary Romance released by Harlequin SuperRomance 14 Apr 09 Beth Andrews is a fairly new Harlequin author, this being her second release with them. I liked the blurb so figured I’d give it a try. I think I may have suffered a bit for not reading [...]

If you’ve spent any amount of time swimming around the pond, you’ve undoubtedly noticed that more than a few of us have mad love for Harlequin.  We read ‘em, we review ‘em, we love them with the kind of slavish devotion usually reserved for stalkers.  So when we learned that Harlequin editor, Marsha Zinberg was [...]

Wendy the Super Librarian‘s review of A Holiday Romance by Carrie Alexander Contemporary romance released by Harlequin SuperRomance 9 Jun 09 I tend to get a bit bitchy defensive in regards to my Harlequin reading. Oh, I’m used to dealing with the slings and arrows of the non-romance reading set. What I tend to resent [...]

Sandy M’s review of Dark Needs at Night’s Edge (Immortals After Dark, Book 4) by Kresley Cole Paranormal Romance released by Pocket 1 Apr 08 This is another series that I’m behind on reading, and I hate being behind on this one because I have loved every single word of it so far. Ms. Cole [...]

Lynne C‘s review of Ripping the Bodice by Inara Lavey Contemporary erotic romance eBook released by Ravenous Romance 7 Feb 09 This is a curate’s egg of a book, and I feel so sorry for the writer, because this book could have been really good, but the lack of proper editing turned it into a [...]
