Florida born and raised, Kari now lives in Arizona where her paranormal stories are created. Like the majority of [...]

So here’s the deal with all this review blog stuff.  The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has decided that blogs and other similar opinion websites should disclose when a reviewed item has been supplied by the manufacturer/vendor/seller/etc., or when a manufacturer/vendor/etc. has paid for said review.  A “full disclosure” kind of thing. 

Lynne Connolly‘s review of Rot by Michele Lee Horror fiction novella released by Skullvines Press Aug 2009 Rot isn’t my usual kind of read. It isn’t a romance, or at any rate, not a genre romance. It does contain romantic elements, though and it’s an interesting and well written novella. 

Gwen’s review of Deep Kiss of Winter by Kresley Cole and Gena Showalter Paranormal romance duology hardcover released by Pocket 13 Oct 09 Two of my favorite paranormal authors in ONE BOOK?  Dang.  How could I NOT read this?!  This book has one long story set in Cole’s Immortals After Dark world and another set [...]

Sandy M’s review of Surrender to the Devil (Scoundrels of St. James, Book 3) by Lorraine Heath Historical Romance published by Avon 30 Jun 09 I absolutely adore Lorraine Heath’s books. And after reading this third book in her latest series, I have to say it’s a very close second to her Texas trilogy, my [...]

Sandy M’s review of Never Love a Lawman by Jo Goodman Historical Western Romance published by Zebra 1 Sep 09 Wow. I picked this book up just to skim the first few pages, and I could not put it down. I’ve not read Ms. Goodman before. Have a feeling I’ve been missing quite a number [...]

Sandy M’s review of The Scot and I (Seers of Grampian, Book 1) by Elizabeth Thornton Historical Paranormal Romance published by Berkley 2 Jun 09 This is my first Elizabeth Thornton book, and I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised. The paranormal aspect of the story added to a conspiracy mystery to assassinate the [...]

Limecello’s review of Tails of Love by Lori Foster, Stella Cameron, Kate Angell, Dianne Castell, Ann Christopher, Marcia James, Donna MacMeans, Sarah McCarty, Patricia Sargeant, and Sue-Ellen Welfonder Special romantic fiction anthology released by Berkley Desire 1 Jun 09 I’d like to start out by noting that this book was written for charity- that all [...]

Wendy the Super Librarian‘s review of His Secret Agenda by Beth Andrews Contemporary romance released by Harlequin SuperRomance 13 Oct 09 It’s often overlooked thanks to the dopey titles Harlequin likes to slap on their books, but I strongly believe that some of the most interesting, innovating, and compelling stories are often told in the [...]

It should come as no surprise to any of you that I am a fan of science-fiction.  I love it in all mediums – books, movies, television, manga, graphic novels, and good ol’ comic books.  It’s all good to me. Love Heinlein, Bradbury, LeGuin, Asimov, Herbert, Zelazny, etc.  And lately, I am finding sci-fi romances [...]

Haunting Beauty is one of those books that has so many layers, so many elements that you simply can’t put it down, you have to know what’s going to happen next, and before you know it, you have the entire book read. Probably in one sitting. If you’re a paranormal fan, you will immensely enjoy [...]

Haunting Beauty is Erin’s new book and it is a beautiful, haunting story. She will talk all about it with you today! Erin lives in Arizona with her husband and two daughters. She [...]

Gwen’s review of The Warlord’s Daughter (The Borderlands, Book 2) by Susan Grant Sci-fi romance released by HQN 1 Feb 09 I really love a good sci-fi romance.  The last couple of months I’ve been lucky enough to read a couple of really good ones.  This is definitely one of them, so much so I’m [...]

Gwen’s review of Heart of Gold by Jessica Bird Contemporary romance released by Ivy Books 3 Jun 03 Every now and again, I dig through my stacks and pull one out that I have held onto forever but haven’t read.  You know what I mean – walk up to your TBR stack, cover your eyes, [...]
