Shannon C.‘s review of Kansas City Christmas by Julie Miller Contemporary romantic suspense released by Harlequin Intrigue 11 Nov 08 I know that, by the time you read this, you are probably not looking for another Christmas book. I know that I’m certainly not in the market for one now that the excitement of the [...]

Sandy M’s review of Slippery When Wet by Kimberly Raye Contemporary Romance published by Love Spell 25 Nov 08 I’ve been having luck reading and enjoying contemporaries lately.  Then I hit the proverbial brick wall with this book.  It’s not a really bad book.  It’s just not a really good book either.  It’s slow reading [...]

Shannon C.’s review of Midnight Man by Lisa Marie Rice Contemporary erotic romantic suspense released by Ellora’s Cave 12 Nov 04 I know that lots of people are fans of Lisa Marie Rice, even on this particular blog (Hello, Sybil!)

Liviania’s review of Loose and Easy (Steele Street, Book 9) by Tara Janzen Contemporary romantic suspense released by Dell 26 Aug 08 I started Loose and Easy unaware it was the ninth in a series. By the time I finished I knew there had to be more books although I did not suspect there were [...]

Shannon C.’s review of Accustomed to His Fangs by December Quinn Contemporary paranormal erotic romance eBook released by Ellora’s Cave 1 Sep 08 The one sub-genre of romance that I tend not to read often is comedy. I just don’t find most wacky hijinks particularly amusing, and I find “Oh, look what an idiot the [...]

Liviania’s review of Tempt Me with Darkness (Doomsday Brethren, Book 1) by Shayla Black Paranormal romance released by Pocket 26 Aug 08 Dorm rooms come with tiny shelves. Textbooks and course packets claim about half of that space. It makes it even more common for people to borrow “fun” books. Two of my friends read [...]

I’ve been covered over with large quantities of visiting extended family, baking, cleaning, cooking (can you say Christmas Tamales?  I knew you could), and general holiday madness – not to mention trying to find time to meet Sybil to shift some books from her car to my car.  As a result I haven’t had time [...]

This just in… Samhain isn’t finished with ya’ll yet for this holiday season. 

Sandy M’s review of Untamed (MacKinnon’s Rangers, Book 2) by Pamela Clare Historical Romance released by Leisure Books 25 Nov 08 I’ve waited so long for this book.  It’s just a few months shy of three years since the first book in this trilogy, Surrender, was released, and then the fate of the next stories [...]

Shannon C.’s review of Wings of Change by Bianca D’Arc Fantasy erotic romance eBook released by Samhain 11 Sep 07 I recently glommed the first four books in Bianca D’Arc’s Dragon Knights series. You can read my thoughts on that set of books here. Originally, I’d started the fifth book during that initial glom, but [...]

Shannon C.’s review of Flood (Burke Series, Book 1) by Andrew Vachss Mystery fiction released by Vintage 10 Mar 98 I’m not sure that I would have picked up this book if I hadn’t seen a blog post about its author. I would provide a link, but blog posts run together in my head, and [...]

Sandy M’s review of Divorced, Desperate and Dating by Christie Craig Contemporary Mystery Romance published by Love Spell 25 Nov 08 Since we’re smack dab in the middle of the season where we look back and remember, thinking over the past year, for me, Christie Craig is the jewel of my finds when it comes [...]

Sandy M’s review of The Missing by Shiloh Walker Contemporary Paranormal Romance published by Berkley Trade 4 Nov 08 Wow.  I tried to think of some way to start this review and I ran through the story again in my head.  Once I did that, all that ever came to me again was, “Wow.”  I’ve [...]

Wendy the Super Librarian‘s review of Notorious Lord, Compromised Miss by Annie Burrows Historical romance eBook short story released by Harlequin Historical Undone 01 December 2008 I know many readers who are not fans of short stories. There isn’t enough meat on the bone and they fail to satisfy their hunger for in depth character [...]
