I first read Beth Kery when I discovered one of her erotic romances, Exorcising Sean’s Ghost, a few years ago. She was a new author for me, and that book hooked me. I’ve been reading her ever since. Beth writes a variety of romance, from the heated, sizzling erotic to those lovely, heartwarming stories that [...]

I’m revising a manuscript right now, and I’m at that point in the story where my hero and heroine are approaching the point of no return.  That place where one or both make the decision to do something that changes everything in the existing relationship.  From that point on, there is no going back to [...]

Sandy M’s review of Fever (Phoenix Rising Series, Book 1) by Joan Swan Romantic Suspense published by Brava 28 Feb 12 I just love it when a debut author hits it out of the park. Joan Swan has done that and then some. She’s given readers an intense and suspenseful story infused with a romance [...]

Sandy M’s review of Breakaway (New York Blades, Book 11) by Deirdre Martin Contemporary Romance published by Berkley 7 Feb 12 I think I’m still in shock. While I’ve not read a lot of books in this series, I have read a few, and I’ve enjoyed every one of them. This newest book? Not so [...]

I’ve been feeling a bit out of sorts with the romance market recently, so I’ve kept to the authors I enjoy and lines like the Harlequin category romances that I tend to enjoy. I write and read paranormal romance, but more and more, the ones I’ve been reading have gone into action/adventure and that’s not [...]
