Limecello’s review of Goddess of the Hunt by Tessa Dare Historical romance published by Ballantine Books on 28 July 2009 I heard a lot about Tessa Dare’s debut book, Goddess of the Hunt, and I definitely think that it lives up to the hype. Ms. Dare has a unique, enjoyable writing voice, and the story [...]

This just in… Judi Fennell has just announced she’s signed her second contract for a new series with Sourcebooks!

Limecello’s review of Strangers in the Night by Saskia Walker Erotic romance published by Harlequin Spice on 1 Nov 2008 Hot on Her Tail is the third and last installment to Saskia Walker’s Loving on the Edge series. I got this novella because I really enjoyed the first installment, Caught in the Act, and knew I [...]

The ever wonderful Cheryl St.John agreed to put together (VERY last minute for us) a post on Inspirational Romance and how they fit with Westerns so well. I promised not to whine, at least not in the post, *g*! Our host finally got us up and running so I am running very late. Sorry about [...]

Sandy M’s review of Highland Obsession by Dawn Halliday Historical Romance published by NAL Trade 4 Aug 09 I haven’t had such an up-and-down, love/hate ride with a book in the longest time that I had with this one! My reactions covered anger, disbelief, are you kidding me, and forgiveness. And that was all for [...]

Welcome back to Duck Chat! Today Annette Blair is our guest and you’re in for a lot fun! Annette’s witch trilogies are full of magic and loads of fun. If you haven’t read any of them yet, try one. I can guarantee you can’t read just one. Her Accidental Witch trilogy entranced readers in 2004 [...]

Sandy M’s review of Where the Wind Blows by Caroline Fyffe Historical Western Romance published by Leisure Books 28 Jul 09 Every now and then a book comes along that is just so tender, so lovely you can’t help the emotions that roll through you. Every now and then an author comes along, who can [...]

C2’s review of Mastered by Love by Stephanie Laurens Historical romance, released 28 July 2009 by Avon Royce Verisey, heir to the Duke of Wolverstone, grew up expecting to take his father’s place presiding over their not-so-small corner of northern England. He did not expect to receive a request from the Crown to serve England’s [...]

I do so ADORE our icon isn’t it beyond grand?  For those of you that don’t already know this I shamelessly use the talents (well of all the ducks in the pond and in the case of icons) it is generally Sandy M. Pondering Icon fun is coming at you thanks to the number 666 [...]

Liviania’s review of Carter Finally Gets It by Brent Crawford Young adult released by Hyperion 7 April 09 I may be twenty, but I still enjoy young adult novels.  They’re usually quick, fun, and willing to experiment with genre.  And, like adult novels, I don’t really care whether one is aimed at guys or girls.  [...]

I admit when Kristie J emailed I pretty much said yes before I finished the email because it was Kristie and she said the code word – WESTERNS. I envy those of you who were around for the high ‘trend’ of the western. Lucky for me so many of you have recommended such amazing novels [...]

Sandy M’s review of Mr. & Mrs. Fitzwilliam Darcy: Two Shall Become One by Sharon Lathan Historical Romance published by Sourcebooks 1 Mar 09 I have to admit upfront that I have never read Jane Austen. Well, I cheated once and listened to an audio of Emma, but that’s it as far as my Austen [...]

We thoroughly enjoyed our day with SJ Day during her Duck Chat here at the pond. Thank you, SJ, for giving our readers such a fun time!

I love me a good Harlequin romance. At their best they’re tight little stories with an intensity you don’t often get in longer romances, just long enough to last a couple of hours, at least they do at my reading speed which is admittedly rather slow. I like to savour the books I read, not [...]

Limecello’s review of The Tycoon’s Secret Affair by Maya Banks Contemporary romance published by Silhouette Desire on 11 Aug 2009 I’m a big fan of the category line Silhouette Desire, and I’m a fan of Maya Banks as well, so the logical conclusion would be that I should like The Tycoon’s Secret Affair as well.
