Sandy M’s review of Lessons in French by Laura Kinsale Historical Romance published by Sourcebooks Casablanca 26 Jan 10 When I heard Ms. Kinsale had another release coming out, I’m sure I was just excited as the rest of her fans. I’ve read only a few of her previous works, with Flowers from the Storm [...]

So actually, I really wanted to title this “can’t we all just be average?” But honestly – would that catch your attention? Would you care about a post like that? And who knows. Maybe I feel like stirring the pot. (Not really, but since when have I not been stubborn? Never. That’s when.)

Sandy M’s review of Catch of a Lifetime (Mer Series, Book 3) by Judi Fennell Paranormal Romance published by Sourcebooks Casablanca 5 Jan 10 Judi Fennell’s fun, lighthearted series comes to an end with this book, and there’s a little more seriousness in this one than the previous two. I think that’s probably why it’s [...]

Lynne Connolly‘s review of The Multi-Millionaire’s Virgin Mistress by Cathy Williams Contemporary Romance released by Harlequin Presents 9 Feb 10 First the title. The heroine isn’t a virgin at the start of the story, although well before the story has started, she has given him her virginity. And she’s nineteen. In the Prologue, they are [...]

Gwen’s review of The Lost by J.D. Robb, Patricia Gaffney, Mary Blayney, and Ruth Ryan Langan Anthology released by Jove 24 Nov 09 This anthology came to me by way of Sybil and her bottomless bag o’  books.  It’s an interesting mix of all sorts of stories, some romance, some not. A nice way to [...]

Lynne Connolly‘s review of The Greek Tycoon’s Disobedient Bride by Lynne Graham Contemporary romance released by Harlequin Presents 1 Dec 08 The title is even worse than usual, because of the adjective. It put up my hackles from the start, but then, the stupid HMB titles usually do. Lynne Graham is very hit or miss [...]

Limecello’s review of More Than a Millionaire by Emilie Rose Contemporary romance released by Silhouette Desire 8 Sep 09 And she’s back! I’m so pleased to say I really enjoyed this book by Emilie Rose. She’s one of my favorite Harlequin authors. it pains me to say I didn’t like her previous few, so I [...]

Our good friend C-Squared blogged about this – and if you follow me on twitter, you’ll know I whined about it a lot – 2009 was not a good year for me. For a variety of reasons. Whatever. I haven’t/hadn’t been able to read as much. I put off books I was looking forward to, [...]

Lynne Connolly‘s review of The Nanny Solution by Teresa Hill Contemporary romance released by Silhouette Special Edition 1 Feb 09 Another misleading title – there isn’t a nanny in this book, neither is the heroine ever employed on nanny duties. There isn’t even a baby, although there is a five year old (the heroine isn’t [...]

Limecello’s review of Mistress: Hired for the Billionaire’s Pleasure by India Grey Contemporary romance released by Harlequin Presents 10 Feb 09 The first thing I have to say, is that the title is ridiculous, and wrong. In fact, the title is pretty much the opposite of what the story is about. But, what can you [...]

Gwen’s review of Pride Mates (Shifters Unbound, Book 1) by Jennifer Ashley Paranormal romance released by Dorchester/ Leisure 26 Jan 10 This is the first of  a new paranormal romance series from the ever-busy Jennifer Ashley. We are given a new world where Shifters are “out”, learning to live in a world where humans know [...]

Sandy M’s review of Legend of the White Wolf (Werewolf Series, Book 4) by Terry Spear Paranormal Romance published by Sourcebooks Casablanca 1 Feb 10 Terry Spear has definitely come into her own as an author. I have very thoroughly enjoyed her last two books in her werewolf series, both of which show a lot [...]

Limecello’s review of Sex Drive by Susan Lyons Contemporary erotic romance released by Aphrodisia 1 Dec 09 I like that Susan Lyon’s stories are unique. Ms. Lyons is fast becoming one of my favorite authors. First of all, she wrote the Awesome Foursome books. Next, that she writes warm, smart, sexy stories, that have substance. [...]
