Wendy the Super Librarian‘s review of Lady Drusilla’s Road To Ruin (Ladies In Disgrace #2) by Christine Merrill Historical Romance published by Harlequin Historical 20 Mar 12 One thing is for sure, whenever I pick up a Christine Merrill Regency, I know I’m not going to get some been-there-done-that retread.  She always has such an [...]

Wendy the Super Librarian‘s review of Always In My Heart (Harts In Love #1) by Kayla Perrin Contemporary Romance published by Harlequin Kimani Romance 17 Apr 12 Let this be a lesson for us all – this is what can happen when you pick up category romances willy-nilly.  I saw this book and thought, “Oh, [...]

LynneC’s review of Lust in the Library by Amelia Fayer Erotic Romance published by Avon Red 6 Mar 12 This is a short that is probably expected to be sweet, sexy fun. Unfortunately, it misses the mark by some distance, at least for me. It’s about two librarians who work in what seems like a [...]

Sandy M’s review of Sierra Falls (Sierra Falls, Book 1) by Veronica Wolff Contemporary Romance published by Berkley 3 Apr 12 I’ve read a few of Veronica Wolff’s historicals and time travel romances, some which worked for me and some which didn’t.

I’ve just about given up on the “historical romance” because it’s not satisfying what I want to see in a well-written historical. But a recent post condemning readers who are labelling books “mistorical” has dragged me right back in.

Laura C’s review of Her Dark Protector by Carol Stephenson Romantic Suspense published by Carina Press 26 Mar 12 I keep diving into the romantic suspense pool and hoping to find some rocking waves, but all too often I just find a stringy mess of seaweed.

Like Genevieve Graham, if you’re a Diana Gabaldon and a Jamie and Claire fan, you’re going to enjoy her MacDonnell family books, Under the Same Sky and Sound of the Heart.

Sandy M’s review of Sound of the Heart by Genevieve Graham Historical Romance published by Berkley Trade 1 May 12 I had hopes for this book after finishing Genevieve Graham’s debut, Under the Same Sky, which I loved.

Ash’s review of The Darkest Seduction (Lords of the Underworld, Book 9) by Gena Showalter Paranormal Romance published by HQN 28 Feb 12 I have to say that Gena Showalter can really do no wrong by me. Paris’ story is one I have been waiting for. He has been through so much and I think [...]

LynneC’s review of What Lies Beneath by Andrea Laurence Contemporary Romance published by Harlequin Desire 3 Apr 12 I am so very sorry I can’t do a more positive review for this book, but it has serious flaws which eventually  prevented me enjoying it as much as I might have done. Huge plot holes and [...]
