REVIEW: Finding the Lost by Shannon K. Butcher
Sunday, August 15, 2010 1:00 2 CommentsAsh’s review of Finding the Lost (The Sentinel Wars, Book 2) by Shannon K. Butcher Paranormal Romance released by Onyx 03 Nov 09 I wanted to like this book, but it never really sucked me in. It’s never a good sign when your least favorite parts are the ones with the hero and heroine.
REVIEW: Greek Tycoon, Wayward Wife by Sabrina Philips
Saturday, August 14, 2010 13:00 8 CommentsLiviania’s review of Greek Tycoon, Wayward Wife by Sabrina Philips Contemporary romance released by Harlequin Presents 1 June 2010 In my infinite wisdom, I pick Harlequin Presents titles to read almost at random. But not Greek Tycoon, Wayward Wife. I chose it because I enjoyed Prince of Montéz, Pregnant Mistress by Sabrina Philips. Unfortunately, my [...]
REVIEW: Knock Me for a Loop by Heidi Betts
Saturday, August 14, 2010 1:00 1 CommentLauraJ’s review of Knock Me For A Loop by Heidi Betts Contemporary Romance published by St. Martin’s Press 2 Feb 1o I have a confession to make…I read this book when it first came out. But when I read it, I really just wanted to read it without reading it to critique it. I had [...]
REVIEW: Spice Briefs by Eden Bradley, Mandy M. Roth, and Megan Hart
Friday, August 13, 2010 13:00 No CommentsLiviania’s review of Night Moves by Eden Bradley Erotic novella released by Spice Briefs 1 May 2010 Eden Bradley manages to keep Night Moves from seeming ludicrous, which is always a risk in erotic shorts. Kate’s fetish for the movement of trains is convincing and seems sexy rather than silly. I also bought that she [...]

REVIEW: Rampant by Saskia Walker
Wednesday, August 11, 2010 13:00 1 CommentLimecello’s review of Rampant by Saskia Walker Erotic romance released by Harlequin Spice 1 Apr 10 I have an admitted weakness for witchy things, that I “blame” on L.J. Smith and her Secret Circle trilogy. I’m also drawn to Saskia Walker’s writing, though in this case something in the story just didn’t quite click for [...]

We even posted a Duck Flash about it since it’s so unique. Special ops [...]

Tuesday, August 10, 2010 13:00 No CommentsAsh’s review of A Knight’s Enchantment by Lindsay Townsend Historical Romance released by Zebra 1 Jun 10 I don’t really have anything really bad to say about A Knight’s Enchantment, but sadly I don’t really have anything really good to say either.

Maya Banks [...]

Monday, August 9, 2010 13:00 5 CommentsLiviania’s review of Ten Things I Love About You by Julia Quinn Historical romance released by Avon 25 May 2010 I will freely admit to being partial to Julia Quinn. The Viscount Who Loved Me was one of my first romances and you don’t forget the books that first brought you to the genre. But [...]

Sunday, August 8, 2010 1:03 No CommentsLynne Connolly’s review of Mistress at What Price? by Anne Oliver Contemporary Romance published by Harlequin 13 Jul 10 I said in a previous review that I wouldn’t be reading Harlequin Presents if I didn’t tolerate the tropes that come up. This book proves that you can use them and still come up with a [...]

It’s an interesting premise that’s suppose to serve as the basis of the stories in the fantasy anthology The Trouble with Heroes. Unfortunately, most authors barely [...]
