LynneC’s review of Classified (Colby Series, Book 46) by Debra Webb Contemporary Romance published by Harlequin Intrigue 4 Oct 11 I picked up a copy of this book on NetGalley, and I’m really not sure why Harlequin chose to put this book up. It’s part of a series, and although the couple in the story [...]

Wendy the Super Librarian‘s review of Baby, Let It Snow by Beverly Jenkins & Elaine Overton Contemporary Romance published by Kimani Romance 18 Oct 11 I cannot say no to holiday-themed romances; and given the sheer volume that romance publishers churn out every year, it looks like I’m not the only reader with this affliction.  No line in [...]

Video Trailer Review by Sandy M: To Wed a Wild Lord by Sabrina Jeffries Historical Romance – November 2011 It’s been a while since I’ve brought a video review to you. I was so excited to begin a new idea here at TGTBTU for you too, and we had a nice response to that first [...]

I’ve been testing quite a few recently, so I thought I’d show you how I got on. These are the free ones, because a) I’m a cheapskate and b) Why pay for something when you can get it legitimately for free?

LynneC’s review of A Vampire For Christmas by Laurie London, Michele Hauf, Caridad Pineiro & Alexis Morgan Paranormal Romance published by HQN 18 Oct 11 Most anthologies are the curate’s egg kind of book, with good bits and bad bits or not-so-good bits. This is no exception, but on the whole it is a decent [...]

I have been a fan of Helen Scott Taylor since reading the first book in her wonderful and magical series, The Magic Knot. I knew then we have something special in this author, one who weaves spells to pull a reader into her characters’ world and entertains them on every page – good, bad, happy, [...]

The hero of The Ruby Kiss is a nightstalker. In my Magic Knot fairy world, this means he is a black, human-sized fairy with wings, and a vampire! He has been a major secondary character in the first two books in the series, and he’s had a tough ride, so it was time I gave [...]

Sandy M’s review of The Ruby Kiss (Magic Knot Series, Book 3) by Helen Scott Taylor Paranormal Romance published by Dorchester 15 Nov 11 This magical world of Helen Scott Taylor’s only gets better and better with each book. Her characters are full of emotion, and I found myself tearing up a couple of times [...]

LynneC’s review of Real Men Will (Donovan Brothers Brewery, Book 3) by Victoria Dahl Contemporary Romance published by HQN 25 Oct 11 This is the last of the Donovan Brothers Brewery series, and it is a fitting conclusion to the trilogy. I’ve had a great time with these books and the last one wasn’t a [...]

If you’ve been reading Grace Burrowe‘s Duke’s Obsession series, you know how much the youngest son, Valentine, loves his music. It moves through him in every aspect of his life; he uses it to help those around him when needed, and it does help tremendously, as evidenced by his brother Devlin and his post-traumatic issues [...]

We have a special treat for you today – Grace Burrowes is here! If you’ve not read any of Grace’s Windham family series yet, you really are missing some fun, emotional, and romantic reads. Her newest book in the series is The Virtuoso, and this is her most emotional book yet. These Windham brothers are [...]

Sandy M’s review of The Virtuoso (The Duke’s Obsession, Book 3) by Grace Burrowes Historical Romance published by Sourcebooks Casablanca 1 Nov 11 This third book in Grace Burrowes’ debut series doesn’t pull any punches when it comes to Valentine Windham, our hero. From the first page he’s given the blow of a lifetime, doesn’t [...]

Sandy M’s review of Kissing Comfort by Jo Goodman Historical Romance published by Berkley 6 Sep 11 This is only my second book by Jo Goodman. After reading my first, Never Love a Lawman, and loving it so much, as I always do, I vowed to read more of her. Unfortunately, life never works the [...]

Wendy the Super Librarian‘s review of Snowflakes and Stetsons by Jillian Hart, Carol Finch & Cheryl St. John Historical Western Romance anthology published by Harlequin Historical 20 Sep 11 There are certain universal truths when it comes to my romance reading: 1) I love category romance 2) I love westerns 3) I love Christmas-themed stories [...]
