Limecello’s review of The Italian Billionaire’s Secretary Mistress by Sharon Kendrick Contemporary romance released by Harlequin Presents 1 Jan 10 Yes, I hate the title. Yes, the image at the top of Sharon Kendrick’s website creeps me out. But. Yes, I love the secretary-boss romance. Maybe because I don’t in real life, so the fictional [...]

Liviania’s review of Tempted All Night by Liz Carlyle Historical romance released by Pocket 17 Feb 09 Once you’ve read three or more books by the same author, you’ve made some decisions about what that author’s books are like.  Character or plot driven, good or bad at weaving an action plot with the romance, better [...]

We’ve all been there, haven’t we?  We want to read. We need to read.  But nothing catches our attention.  We start one book and put it aside and then start a different book, thinking maybe a genre change might help, and put it aside.  Repeat as necessary until there is a stack of books, each [...]

Limecello’s review of The Moretti Heir by Katherine Garbera Contemporary romance released by Silhouette Desire 10 Mar 09 I got this book because it was part of the Man of the Month series, and also because it’s by Katherine Garbera.

Lynne Connolly’s review of Count Toussaint’s Pregnant Mistress by Kate Hewitt Contemporary Romance released by Mills & Boon 18 Dec 09 Another appalling title and a daft blurb as well, because it doesn’t address the real story. The blurb doesn’t discuss a book that I ever read. So here’s my take on it. Luc is [...]

Limecello’s review of Coming Undone by Lauren Dane Contemporary erotic romance released by Berkley Trade 5 Jan 10 I loved this book. Loved. If 2010 is anything like 2009, Coming Undone will be part of my top 10 reads of the year. This was a contemporary novel that hearkened back to why I started reading [...]

Well, this is a very vague and open topic… but of course I’m going to limit it to the romance community. I think we all know that what you do online can come back to haunt you- right or wrong. Authors sometimes go a little… er, crazy? Over reviews. There are numerous examples. Authors have [...]

Gwen’s review of Bound to Shadows (Riley Jensen, Book 8 ) by Keri Arthur Urban Fantasy released by Dell 27 Oct 09 It’s been a while since I read and reviewed one of the Riley Jensen books.  Have I told you lately how much I love this series?  Well, I love this series.  Of all [...]
