Sandy M’s review of Between the Devil and Desire (Scoundrels of St. James, Book 2) by Lorraine Heath Historical Romance published by Avon 30 Dec 08 These scoundrels of St. James are so far leaving me emotionally exhausted after reading their stories.

Wendy the Super Librarian‘s review of Hard To Resist by Samantha Hunter Contemporary romance released by Harlequin Blaze 1 July 09 Sometimes how well a book works for a reader all boils down to how willing they are to suspend their disbelief. Depending on the story, and the characters, I have been more than willing [...]

I know you’ve all been saying to yourself, “Self, I have not read any scintillating content from Shannon C. lately. Does she not love us anymore?” To which the answer is, no. I’ve just been behind on reviewing, and I’ve been kind of underwhelmed by a lot of the romances I’ve picked up. Still, I [...]

 LauraJ’s review of Flirting With Temptation by Kelley St. John Contemporary Romance released by Forever 1 Feb 09 If I keep having luck with books from authors I haven’t read before but have on my tbr shelf, I’m going to clear away a lot of unread books. This is the second book I’ve read in [...]

Sandy M’s review of Rapture (The Shadowdwellers, Book 2) by Jacquelyn Frank Paranormal Romance published by Zebra Jul 1 09 I am so glad I started this series now and didn’t wait like I’ve done with Ms. Frank’s Nightwalkers series, which I’ve yet to start. This second book in the series captivated me just as [...]

Sandy M’s review of Sapphire Dream by Pamela Montgomerie Time Travel Romance published by Berkley 7 Jul 09 I’ve read a lot of time travels over the last several years, and the thing that sometimes makes or breaks one for me is the method in which an author chooses to have her hero or heroine [...]

Wendy the Super Librarian‘s review of Sierra Bride by Jenna Kernan Historical western romance released by Harlequin Historical 1 Aug 09 It’s really no secret that most romance readers have a weakness for a hunky hero.

Lawson’s review of Written on Your Skin by Meredith Duran Historical romance released by Pocket Books 28 Jul 09 This is the second book, or more correctly, the companion to Duran’s Bound by Your Touch. While I enjoyed Duran’s debut, Duke of Shadows, I wasn’t as wowed by her second book. The interesting thing is [...]
