So I was in a discussion about book trailers, good and bad, and I went looking for examples. I don’t watch many book trailers, just don’t have the time, but they can be great fun. Then I discovered this:

Sandy M’s review of Retreat From Love (Brothers in Arms, Book 5) by Samantha Kane Historical Erotic Romance released by Ellora’s Cave 21 May 09 Samantha Kane is a new author for me, having read only one or two of her books so far. The only other book in this series I’ve read and reviewed [...]

Harlequin Blaze is one of my favorite category lines (no surprise the other is Silhouette Desire), and I’ve also enjoyed Rhonda Nelson and Lori Borril’s previous books, so buying these three books made perfect sense. For Ms. Nelson, I love her military heroes, and was very intrigued by the premise of each book. For Ms. [...]

Welcome once again to Duck Chat! Today is going to be a very fun day. We have Meredith Duran in the house! Besides being a romance author, Meredith is a doctoral student in anthropology, loves doing field work in such places as India and browsing through library travelogues written by Nineteenth Century Englishwomen. British history [...]

Wendy the Super Librarian‘s review of The Daddy Audition by Cindi Myers Contemporary romance released by Harlequin American 14 July 2009 Cindi Myers continues her series set in the resort mountain town of Crested Butte, Colorado with this romance featuring a washed-up single mom actress and the man whose heart she broke ten years ago. [...]

Dawna’s review of Soul Song (Dirk and Steele, Book 6) by Marjorie M. Liu Paranormal Romance published by Leisure Books 3 Jul 07 I’ve always been told never judge a book by its cover. But when I glanced the sexy man emerging out of the turbulent ocean depths, ready to walk right off the page, [...]

Limecello’s review of One Night, Two Babies by Kathie DeNosky Contemporary romance released by Silhouette Desire on 8 Sep 09 I have to say, I had no interest in this book at first because of the title. I know the author often doesn’t get a say with titles, especially at Harlequin. But, yes, I admit [...]

Many thanks to Elisabeth Naughton for a terrific Duck Chat here at the pond!

This just in… Sabrina Jeffries, Jenna Black, and Virginia Kantra, will be at the North Carolina Literary Festival for those of you who live in the area of the University of North Carolina.

Limecello’s Duckies Do Series reviews of the Holidays Abroad Series by Merline Lovelace Contemporary romances released by Harlequin Nov 2008 – Jan 2009 I quite fancy the idea of Christmas in summer (especially during a sweltering heat wave), so when I read the Duke’s New Year’s Resolution, I realized I was in the middle of [...]

Gwen’s review of The Price of Desire by Jo Goodman Historical romance released by Zebra 1 Sep 08 Some books are just so damn good, you truly want them to never end.  I put this book down and sighed.  It delivers on so many fronts, it’s difficult to summarize them all. 

Gwen’s review of Doomsday Can Wait (The Phoenix Chronicles, Book 2) by Lori Handeland (WARNING! Sound on her site.) Urban Fantasy released by St. Martin’s 28 Apr 09 I dithered about the grade to give this book.  It was some good storytelling, but the plot didn’t move forward as much as I would have liked.  [...]

LauraJ’s review of How to Tame a Modern Rogue by Diana Holquist Contemporary Romance released by Grand Central 4 Aug 09 I rely heavily on blurbs on the back of books to get me hooked on a story. This is an author that I have been told by many I should try because I would [...]

Lynne Connolly‘s review of The Sheikh’s Chosen Queen by Jane Porter Contemporary romance released by Harlequin Presents 1 Apr 08 At last, a title I can remember!  Jane Porter has done some research and describes the scenes, especially one set in Dubai, very well. It does make a difference to the story and helps to [...]

Gwen’s review of Hidden Currents (The Drake Sisters, Book 7) by Christine Feehan Contemporary paranormal romance released by Jove 30 Jun 09 I always look at the Drake Sisters series as Feehan’s “Dark Series Done Lite.” It’s my least fav of her many series, but Feehan even on a bad day is still imminently readable [...]
