Sandy M’s review of The Christmas Knight by Michele Sinclair Historical Romance published by Zebra 1 Oct 10 Michele Sinclair has created one of those romantic couples that I just love to read. A scarred hero who has buried his feelings and emotions so deep he never expects to love or be loved and a [...]

LynneC’s review of Taken By Desire by Lavinia Kent Historical Romance published by Avon 30 Nov 10 I received this book as a galley. When that happens, I feel obliged to review the book, otherwise I would have quietly put it aside and not mentioned it. I am desperate to find a new writer of [...]

I like that it’s the hero in this Beth Kery book who needs help, reaching out to the woman he’s been drawn to for some time but never making contact until something goes horribly wrong in his life. He definitely needs her – in more ways than one. But Sophie needs Thomas too. And she [...]

Researching my books is perhaps one of the most fun and rewarding aspects of writing. I’m an information hound, I admit it. I think that even if you don’t include all the specific facts, small details create a layered palette to the overall tone of the novel. I liken it to all those amazing details [...]

Sandy M’s review of Explosive by Beth Kery Contemporary Erotic Romance published by Berkley Trade 7 Dec 10 Sure wish I’d taken the time to check out the cover of this book before I started reading my e-copy. It’s perfect for the story. Thomas has suffered a family tragedy and turns to Sophie for comfort [...]

Ash’s review of Stranger (Blades of the Rose, Book 4) by Zoe Archer Paranormal Romance published by Zebra 07 Dec 10 In the last book, Rebel, I got a bit tired of reading the same thing over and over. Thankfully, that’s not the case with Stranger. Zoe Archer adds enough of a change for me [...]

Wendy the Super Librarian‘s review of Mistletoe And The Lost Stiletto by Liz Fielding Contemporary romance released by Harlequin Romance 09 Nov 2010 I happen to be a sucker for Christmas-themed romances, and I can always count on Harlequin to give me my fix every year.  This latest from Fielding certainly fits the bill when [...]

Lynne Connolly‘s review of Pleasured In the Playboy’s Penthouse by Natalie Anderson Contemporary Romance from Mills & Boon Modern Heat 01 Feb 09 This is a Modern Heat story, and I really like most of those. This is no exception. Bella is different to the rest of her successful family. She wants to go in [...]

Sandy M’s review of Kade: Armed and Dangerous, (Armed and Dangerous, Book 3) by Cheyenne McCray Romantic Suspense published by St. Martin’s Griffin 26 Oct 10 I normally don’t look at reviews of books I’m reviewing while I’m reading or writing my review. But when I was at Amazon gathering info to put this review [...]

I’ve done a fair few things since I joined the writing world. I’ve edited (don’t do it anymore – the pay wasn’t brilliant and it detracted from my own writing time), I review and I write. And, of course, I read. When Syb asked me if I wanted to review for TGTBTU more regularly, I [...]

Ash’s review of No Place to Run (KGI Series, Book 2) by Maya Banks Romantic Suspense published by Berkley 07 Dec 10 I have been waiting for this book since I read the last page of The Darkest Hour. My expectations were pretty high and while I enjoyed it very much, it wasn’t as great [...]

First, we’d like to thank Dee Tenorio for guest blogging with us a few weeks ago. It was a fun day and if you didn’t stop by, well, you missed out!

As I said in my review of Beneath the Thirteen Moons, Kathryne Kennedy has a stunning, awesome imagination, coming up with story ideas readers haven’t read before. At least this reader hasn’t. I think this first chapter of the book will bring that point home to you all. Along with drawing you into the book [...]

Thank you so much for having me as a guest today, Sandy. It’s a pleasure to be here! I wanted to do something special for the readers here at TGTBTU, and thought I’d premier my book video for Beneath the Thirteen Moons, which I haven’t even posted on my website yet.

Sandy M’s review of Beneath the Thirteen Moons by Kathryne Kennedy Paranormal Romance published by Sourcebooks Casablanca 1 Dec 10 I always look forward to reading a Kathryne Kennedy book. She’s one of those authors who has a stunning imagination and is able to bring all her ideas and concepts to the printed page perfectly. [...]
