Sandy M’s review of Royal’s Bride (Bride Trilogy, Book 1) by Kat Martin
Historical Romance published by Mira 25 Aug 09
I’ve not read many Kat Martin books, but the ones I have gotten to have been satisfying reads. They haven’t blown me away, but, as with this book, I end up with a good story and [...]

Sandy M’s review of Summer  of Two Wishes by Julia London
Contemporary Romance published by Pocket Star 18 Aug 09
I hadn’t intended to read this book for review when I picked it up to look it over. But it’s one of those themes that you’re curious to know how an author deals with the subject matter, [...]

Limecello’s review of Million Dollar Baby Bargain by Tessa Radley
Contemporary romance published by Silhouette Desire on 11 Aug 2009
I really enjoy Tessa Radley’s Silhouette Desire books. Million Dollar Baby Bargain was no exception, but there was something different about it. Not “off” exactly, but the tone felt a little darker, and the title, [...]

Liviania’s review of The Darkest Whisper (Lords of the Underworld, Book 4) by Gena Showalter
Paranormal romance released by HQN 25 Aug 09
This was my second Lords of the Underworld novel and third Gena Showalter overall.  Now, she’s no Kresley Cole, but I definitely enjoy her writing.  She pulls you into the story and gets things [...]

Lynne Connolly’s review of Rot by Michele Lee
Horror fiction novella released by Skullvines Press Aug 2009
Rot isn’t my usual kind of read. It isn’t a romance, or at any rate, not a genre romance. It does contain romantic elements, though and it’s an interesting and well written novella. 

Limecello’s review of Laid Bare by Lauren Dane
Erotic romance released by Berkley 4 Aug 09
It seems to me that Lauren Dane’s writing improves with each book, and Laid Bare really is no exception. It’s an interesting book, and I love the setting. The characters and their lifestyles are definitely outside my experience and not [...]

Limecello’s review of Surrender of a Siren by Tessa Dare
Historic romance releaseded by Ballantine on 25 Aug 09
I’ve enjoyed Tessa Dare’s previous stories, both Goddess of the Hunt, and Legend of the Werestag. Unfortunately, I did not like Surrender of a Siren as much. Initially I wasn’t sure what to expect from this book. [...]

Gwen’s review of Hunting Ground (Alpha and Omega, Book 2) by Patricia Briggs
Paranormal romantic suspense released by Ace 29 Aug 09
I love Briggs’ storytelling.  Her books are always these lovely tales that are full of interesting, unique, and oddly believable paranormal elements.  You sincerely feel as if her world could exist and she’s just [...]

Wendy the Super Librarian’s review of Silent Watch by Elle Kennedy
Romantic suspense released by Silhouette Romantic Suspense 01 Aug 2009
Romantic suspense is an extremely tricky genre for an author to write.  You have to juggle both romance and suspense, devote equal time to both plot lines, and keep the reader satisfied on both counts.  [...]

Limecello’s review of Tasting Fear by Shannon McKenna
Romantic suspense published by Brava on 1 Aug 2009
Shannon McKenna is one of my favorite authors. So much in fact, that I read her books despite the fact that I generally try to avoid Romantic Suspense. I have all of Shannon McKenna’s back list. Some, duplicates even. [...]

Wendy the Super Librarian’s review of Eye Of The Storm by Delilah Devlin
Erotic romance short story ebook released by Spice Briefs 01 August 2009
I’m a bit of a contrary reader.  Sometimes I want angst and gritty realism, other times I want something escapist and sexy.  This latest Spice Briefs short story from Delilah Devlin scratched [...]

Limecello’s review of Out of the Light, Into the Shadows by Lori Foster Erin McCarthy L.L. Foster
Contemporary and paranormal romance anthology published by Berkley on 4 Aug 2009
I got this book based entirely on the authors, because I have enjoyed both Lori Foster and Erin McCarthy’s books in the past. That’s the plus when [...]

Harlequin Blaze is one of my favorite category lines (no surprise the other is Silhouette Desire), and I’ve also enjoyed Rhonda Nelson and Lori Borril’s previous books, so buying these three books made perfect sense. For Ms. Nelson, I love her military heroes, and was very intrigued by the premise of each book. For Ms. [...]

LauraJ’s review of How to Tame a Modern Rogue by Diana Holquist
Contemporary Romance released by Grand Central 4 Aug 09
I rely heavily on blurbs on the back of books to get me hooked on a story. This is an author that I have been told by many I should try because I would [...]

Gwen’s review of Beyond the Rain by Jess Granger
Science-fiction romance released by Berkley Sensation 4 Aug 09
I love me a good sci-fi romance.  When they’re done well – and this one is done very well – you can totally cut loose from your normal world and be completely transported to literally a whole new world.  [...]
