Sandy M’s review of Untamed Rogue, Scandalous Mistress by Bronywn Scott Historical Romance published by Harlequin Historical 1 Jul 10 I so love a story that has a hero and heroine working together to overcome conflict instead of having that conflict break them up, keep them apart, and make them snarl and snip at one [...]

Sandy M’s review of Sweetest Little Sin by Christine Wells Historical Romance published by Berkley 4 May 10 This is my first book by Christine Wells.

I’ve had the pleasure to read and review both of Caroline Fyffe’s books, Where the Wind Blows and Montana Dawn, and each time when I closed the books after reading the last word, I was left with a feeling of contentment, of rightness, of experiencing something special. For me, Montana Dawn is about family, that [...]

Sandy M’s review of Montana Dawn by Caroline Fyffe Historical Western Romance published by Leisure Books 27 Jul 10 I said in my review of Ms. Fyffe’s debut book, Where the Wind Blows, that she’s an author to keep an eye on.

Liviania’s review of SpellCrash (WebMage, Book 5) by Kelly McCullough Mythology/cyberpunk/fantasy released by Ace 25 May 2010 I somehow managed to not realize there existed a series that crossed mythology with cyberpunk.

Liviania’s review of Unholy Magic (Downside Ghosts, Book 2) by Stacia Kane Urban Fantasy released by Del Rey 6 July 2010 The second book in a trilogy tends to be the worst, since it is stuck setting up the exciting climax of book three.  Luckily for me, Unholy Magic didn’t feel like it was just [...]
