Ash’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 Comments

Liviania’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 [...]

LauraJ’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 Comments

Liviania’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 Comment

Limecello’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 [...]

Sandy M’s review of The Chief (Highland Guard, Book 1) by Monica McCarty Historical Romance published by Ballantine 23 Mar 10 When I heard about the premise of this series early last year from the author herself, I was definitely intrigued. We even posted a Duck Flash about it since it’s so unique. Special ops [...]

Sandy M’s review of Colters’ Woman (Colters’ Legacy, Book 1) by Maya Banks Erotic Contemporary Romance published by Samhain 6 Apr 10 Though I keep reading erotic romance and I keep giving fairly low review grades on most of them, there are those few authors out there who know how to write them. Maya Banks [...]

REVIEW: Ten Things I Love About You by Julia Quinn

Monday, August 9, 2010 13:00 5 Comments

Liviania’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 [...]

Lynne 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 [...]

Sandy M’s review of Raising Kane (Rough Riders, Book 9) by Lorelei James Contemporary Western Romance ebook published by Samhain 23 Jun 10 I think like a lot of fans of this series, I’ve anxiously awaited Kane’s story.

Sandy M’s review of All or Nothing (The Lonnigans, Book 2) by Dee Tenorio Contemporary Romance ebook published by Samhain 27 Jul 10 I’ve had a couple of second books of a series outshining the first lately. All or Nothing is in that category for me. And it surprises me, because I wasn’t that thrilled [...]
