Sandy M’s review of Playing for Keeps by Shiloh Walker Contemporary Romance ebook published by Samhain 13 Jan 09 Yes, I’ve had this ebook tucked away on the computer for a year and a half now. Shame on me. But I’m actually glad. Shiloh Walker is one of those authors whose books I know I’m [...]

I’ve just acquired a Blackberry Storm. Yes, I know some of the problems, but I like it, and I always wanted a Blackberry, okay?

Liviania’s review of Unholy Ghosts (Downside Ghosts, Book 1) by Stacia Kane Urban fantasy released by Del Rey 25 May 2010 Sybil was offering me a variety of books to review and quickly realizing I’ll say yes to almost anything.  The hook for Unholy Ghosts was the controversy over the main character’s drug use.  There’s [...]

Historical romance published by Ballantine 25 May 10 There Lady Amelia D’Orsay was – daydreaming about her plans for summer at her family’s country cottage while listening with half an ear to the latest gossip – when, across a [...]

My thoughts on RomCon are all over the place. If you want an extremely detailed minute by minute playbook, this is not where you’ll get that. RomCon? Well, I’d do it again. I’ve never been to any conferences/conventions before 2010, but this year I’ve hit up RT, Lori Foster’s get together, and now RomCon. I [...]

Ash’s review of Blood Song (Blood Singer Series Book 1) by Cat Adams Urban Fantasy released by Tor 08 Jun 10 It seems like lately to read a good urban fantasy, you need a guide to go along with it. It’s great to read one where the world is fresh and easy to understand, and [...]

LauraJ’s review of Some Like it Scot byDonna Kauffman Contemporary Romance published by Brava 1 Jun 10 I’m not one for surprises. I like to know what is going to happen (books/movies/Christmas) and really if someone spoils something for me, I don’t care (I won’t however, spoil ending for others). I read the end of books [...]

Lawson’s review of Wicked Sinful Nights by Julia Latham Historical romance released by Avon 12 Jan 10 The myth of the League of the Blade continues with the brother of Adam from Taken and Seduced in this story.

Liviania’s review of Web of Lies (Elemental Assassin, Book 2) by Jennifer Estep Urban Fantasy released by Pocket 25 May 2010 Gin Blanco, assassin and restaurateur, returns in the second Elemental Assassin novel.  Based on the end of Spider’s Bite, I expected most of the book to focus on the series arc.  Instead, Web of [...]

Sandy M’s review of The Fire Lord’s Lover (Elven Lords, Book 1) by Kathryne Kennedy Paranormal Romance published by Sourcebooks Casablanca 6 Jul 10 Kathryne Kennedy has done it again. With the fate of her Relics of Merlin series unknown due to her move to Sourcebooks, I lamented the loss of a such a terrific [...]

Lawson’s review of The Search by Nora Roberts Romantic suspense released by Putnam 06 Jul 10 Romantic suspense is one thing that I’m not terribly fond of. I do love Nora Roberts’ suspense though, because the story always takes center stage, no matter what elements are added to the plot. The Search is right up [...]

Limecello’s review of The Secretary’s Bossman Bargain by Red Garnier Contemporary romance released by Silhouette Desire 13 Jul 10 A number of things made me decide to read this book. First of all, I adore Silhouette Desire and Harlequin Blaze books. They’re hands down my favorite category lines. Next, I’ve been meaning to try something [...]

Liviania’s review of Spider’s Bite (Elemental Assassin, Book 1) by Jennifer Estep Urban fantasy released by Pocket 26 Jan 2010 I love Jennifer Estep’s Bigtime series.  They’re funny and sweet romances.  Then she went and wrote a more traditional urban fantasy series, starring an assassin – one of my favorite character types.  I couldn’t resist [...]

Mills and Boon used the RNA conference to announce a new competition, to be launched on September 1st. They’re looking for new voices, and new writers, but this competition involves the public, too. It will take the part of an X-factor style search for new talent. There’s a judging panel, which will consist of Samantha [...]

Wendy the Super Librarian‘s review of Miss Winthrope’s Elopement by Christine Merrill Historical romance released by Harlequin Historical 01 Mar 10 I like a well-done rake hero as much as the next girl.  The trick for authors is writing them convincingly (no fake-rakes please!) while still managing to make them redeemable enough so that the [...]
