REVIEW: Tekgrrl by A.J. Menden
Sandy M’s review of Tekgrrl (EHJ Series, Book 2) by A.J. Menden
Futuristic Paranormal Romance released by Leisure Books 26 May 09
I’ve stewed about this book for a few days after finishing it. Dorchester has discontinued their Shomi line, which is where this book would have been published if the line was still around. The few Shomis I’ve read I have thoroughly enjoyed. And that’s why I’ve had to stew over this one. Unfortunately, even if it were a Shomi, that wouldn’t help get it out of the woods. read more…
REVIEW: Always by Lauren Dane
Limecello’s review of Always by Lauren Dane
Contemporary romance released by Samhain 14 Apr 09
I had been looking for a simple romantic contemporary story. I wanted to read about a guy and a girl falling in love, and only about that. No secret mafia wars, no exploding bombs, no secret family curses or vampires, werewolves, or were-anything. That’s exactly what Always offered, and I really enjoyed it. Caitlin and Eamon are extremely likable characters. read more…
REVIEW: My Wicked Marquess by Gaelen Foley
Lawson’s review of My Wicked Marquess by Gaelen Foley
Historical romance released by Avon 30 Jun 09
Gaelen Foley’s first book with Avon starts off a new series. The Knights are not in this series anywhere, so don’t hope for any appearances of those characters. Instead, this book starts off a series centered around members of a notorious club in London, the Inferno Club. Things are not what they seem however, and the intrigue, secrets and lies start to pile up in this first installment. read more…

REVIEW: The Accidental Human by Dakota Cassidy
Shannon C.’s review of The Accidental Human (Accidental Friends, Book 3) by Dakota Cassidy
Paranormal romance released by Berkley 3 Mar 09
There’s something intrinsically satisfying about reading the final volume to a series. I always close the book with a smile, a bit wistful that I’ll never get to spend time with these characters again, but pleased that I can move on to see what else the author is capable of writing. And, in the case of the third book in Dakota Cassidy’s Accidental Friends series, I was even more satisfied that not only did the series wrap up completely, but it did so with one of the strongest books she’s written. read more…
DUCK CHAT: Under the Sea with Judi Fennell
Welcome back to Duck Chat!
Debut author Judi Fennell joins us today to talk about her new series and a lot of other fun stuff.
Judi’s first book in her Mer series is In Over Her Head and it’s flying off the shevles as people find out about it, and it’s getting some great buzz all over the place. Her very first taste at publication came when Reader’s Digest ran a pieces of hers and that led to her stories finaling in contest after contest.
Like most authors she caught the writing bug early, mesmerizing anyone and everyone with her stories, and now she’s actually living her dream and loving every minute of it. Judi is married and has a houseful of kids and pets. She loves pop culture and, in her words, “manipulating language.” That alone should make reading her books loads of fun for readers. Well, sexy mermen are a plus too!
Judi has kindly offered a charming mermaid cell phone charm has a giveaway today, so be sure to leave a meaningful comment or question for her and we’ll put you in the running. A picture of the charm is included below in the interview. Now let’s chat!
REVIEW: Wicked Little Game by Christine Wells
Lawson’s review of Wicked Little Game by Christine Wells
Historical romance released by Berkley Sensation 7 Jul 09
If you’ve seen the movie “Indecent Proposal“, the first few chapters of this book are going to seem a bit familiar. When I read the excerpt I wanted to read this book to see how Wells would work things out. Just the idea of a man wanting to pay an overly large amount of money to spend the night with another man’s wife is an intriguing concept. What happens after the night is over is where this story diverges from Hollywood. read more…
REVIEW: Instant Gratification by Jill Shalvis
Limecello’s review of Instant Gratification (Wilder Trilogy, Book 2) by Jill Shalvis
Contemporary romance released by Brava 30 Jun 09
Instant Gratification may very well be my favorite book I’ve read this year. I really enjoy Jill Shalvis’s writing style, and tone. It’s distinct, and comfortable. Instant Gratification is the second in Ms. Shalvis’s trilogy about the Wilder books. I enjoyed Instant Attraction, but loved Instant Gratification. (I cannot wait for Instant Temptation.) read more…
REVIEW: Branded by Fire by Nalini Singh
Sandy M’s review of Branded by Fire (Psy-Changeling Series, Book 6) by Nalini Singh
Paranormal Romance published by Berkley 7 Jul 09
Damn, I love this series. I fell in love with the DarkRiver cats and SnowDancer wolves from the beginning, devouring each book as they’ve come along, and with this sixth book in the series, not a thing has changed; I’ve only become more enamored and enthralled the more I read. In fact, BbF has now become my favorite of them all. read more…
