Lawson’s review of Sex on the Beach by Susan Lyons Contemporary Erotic Romance Released by Berkley Heat 5 Jan 10 It’s cold outside. There’s snow on the ground. And my TBR pile is all historicals. I think most of them are set during the winter, or at least the colder months. So I jumped at [...]

Liviania’s review of The Christmas Present by Tracy Wolff Contemporary romance released by Harlequin Superromance 8 Dec 09 I understand the logic that if marketing says something sells, you should do it.  Harlequin didn’t become the powerhouse it is by making random decisions.  Still, I don’t see the point in packaging Tracy Wolff’s latest with [...]
