Love this cover… I have to admit I wanted to know more about Zoë Armstrong when I finished Tempted All Night (another Liz C book I loved).  When I closed the book I went on a rereading binge and ran through about 4 or 5 faves before I had to stop. When I heard this [...]

When Seducing a Duke is Kathryn Smith‘s return to historical romance and it is wonderful.  I admit her last historical romance was one of my favorites and I have mourned her turn to the dark side, even though she is one of the few authors who writes historical paranormals I enjoy.  So when I found [...]

Wendy the Super Librarian‘s review of Eye Of The Storm by Delilah Devlin Erotic romance short story ebook released by Spice Briefs 01 August 2009 I’m a bit of a contrary reader.  Sometimes I want angst and gritty realism, other times I want something escapist and sexy.  This latest Spice Briefs short story from Delilah [...]
