Dinca’s Review Private Parts by Tori Carrington Harlequin Blaze published by Harlequin 16 Nov 2010  The third time or fourth in this case is not always the charm.  I for one am glad this is the end to the Private Scandals Series.

LynneC’s review of Trial By Desire by Courtney Milan Historical Romance released by HQN Books 01 September 10 Courtney Milan has written a highly enjoyable book that almost sold me on the Victorian era. I dislike the Victorian era. It’s a personal prejudice, born of many things, but mainly the namby-pamby, hypocritical way they went [...]

Sandy M’s review of Healing Luke by Beth Cornelison Contemporary Romance published by Sourcebooks Casablanca 1 Sep 09 The title of this book caught my interest recently, so I pulled it from the bookshelf to keep it handy just in case. I’ve read a number of historicals and paranormals over the last several weeks and [...]

You want the truth? Well some of it, anyway. I’m an adult and I write novels for adults. And I love writing them, so I’m not about to stop. I write for Ellora’s Cave, Samhain Publishing, Loose-Id Publishing and Total E-Bound, and I love it. The best job I’ve ever had.

You should send that into Reader’s Digest. They have a page for people like you. – The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy

Gwen’s review of Blood Challenge (World of the Lupi, Book 7) by Eileen Wilks Urban fantasy published by Berkley 4 Jan 11 I’ve been an Eileen Wilks fan for several years now.  I’ve enjoyed everything of hers I’ve read and have eagerly anticipated her next novels.  Her writing is always taut, interesting, and full of [...]

Gwen’s review of Archangel’s Consort (Guild Hunters, Book 3) by Nalini Singh Urban Fantasy released by Berkley 25 Jan 11 Let me just start by saying that Nalini Singh is a goddess. I adore her writing and am always entertained by her books.  Her heroes are hot, tender, and yummy. Her heroines women I can [...]

Sandy M’s review of Scandal of the Year (Abandoned at the Alter, Book 2) by Laura Lee Gurhke Historical Romance published by Avon 25 Jan 11 I wasn’t sure what to expect with this book after reading Wedding of the Season, which didn’t quite make the grade for me (see my review here). But I [...]

The recent screening of “Downton Abbey” on US TV has created a storm on the blogs about entail, what it is and why. Reading the comments has proved deeply illuminating, about the way the entail is understood by an American audience. So I thought it might be a good time to try to explain a [...]

Lynne Connolly’s review of  Unworldly Secretary, Untamed Greek by Kim Lawrence Contemporary romance published by Mills and Boon Modern Romance 3 Sep 10 This story started badly for me when the heroine took off her glasses and didn’t seem to need them anymore. As a glasses-wearer, I hate that. I’m helpless without mine, and although [...]
