Gwen’s review of Divine Misdemeanors (Meredith Gentry, Book 8 ) by Laurell K. Hamilton
Urban fantasy hardcover released by Ballantine 8 Dec 09
Laurell K. Hamilton’s Merry Gentry novels typically revolve around the politics of the Unseelie Court.  A couple of the early books were more about Merry’s Men and her day job working for a [...]

Holly’s review of Burn by Linda Howard
Romantic Suspense released by Ballantine 7 July 09
I’ve been disappointed in most of Linda Howard’s more recent releases, but I was pleasantly surprised with this one. It reminded me quite a bit of All the Queen’s Men. Kind of light on the romance and heavy on the storyline, [...]

link to excerpt added… I know you are going ‘huh a paranormal’… when I have been doing nothing but bitching about there being too many paranormals in the reading world lately.  Look at that cover, isn’t it fab and it sounds amazing, a mix of middle ages, romance, historical intrigue, paranormal…part of me wants [...]

Liviania’s review of Swallowing Darkness (Meredith Gentry, Book 7) by Laurell K. Hamilton
Paranormal romance released by Ballantine 4 Nov 08
I can’t quit Laurell K. Hamilton.  She writes a total piece of crap like Mistral’s Kiss and I think it’s safe to quit the Merry Gentry series.  Then she follows it up with A Lick of [...]

Gwen’s review of Highland Scoundrel (The Campbell Trilogy, Book 3) by Monica McCarty
Historical romance released by Ballantine Books 24 Mar 09

Highland Warrior is the first novel in Monica McCarty’s 2nd back to back Scottish trilogy. Before I do anything I must give mad props to Monica for the amount of research she has put into her [...]

Sandy M’s review of Vampire’s Betrayal (Savannah Vampire Chronicles, Book 4) by Raven Hart
Contemporary Paranormal Romance released by Ballantine 29 Apr 08
Why is it some of the really good books I read are always number three or four in a series and the first few books are stashed away in the TBR mountain, not within [...]

C2 (C-Squared)’s review of Dark of Night (Troubleshooters, Book 14) by Suzanne Brockmann
Romantic suspense hardcover released by Ballantine 27 Jan 09
Anyone who has ever visited my personal blog knows I’m a Suzanne Brockmann fan. I’m not a crazy stalker fan grrl or anything – *innocent look* – I’m just enthusiastic. I like [...]

Gwen’s review of Night Shadow (TFLAC Night Trilogy, Book 3) by Cherry Adair
Contemporary paranormal romantic suspense hardcover released by Ballantine 25 Nov 08
I think Cherry Adair is having a contest with herself to see how many different series she can have with inter-related characters.  I lost count at eleventy-million.  This trilogy is another of what [...]

Gwen’s review of Swallowing Darkness (Meredith Gentry, Book 7) by Laurell K. Hamilton
Fantasy fiction released by Ballantine Books 4 Nov 08
The Meredith Gentry novels resonate with me on several levels: they’re fantasy novels, they have lots of action and suspense , they’ve got some good sex (sometimes a LOT of good sex), and they’re almost [...]

LauraD’s review of Playing Dead (Prison Break, Book 3) by Allison Brennan
Romantic Suspense released by Ballantine 30 Sep 08
I was quite happy to find Allison Brennan’s Playing Dead in the Big Box of Books that Sybil gave me. I’m a huge fan of romantic suspense, and I’ve enjoyed Ms. Brennan’s work before, so my expectations [...]

Lawson’s review of Wicked as Sin (Boscastle Series) by Jillian Hunter (no author site found)
Historical Romance released by Ballantine 24 Jun 08
This is one in the many Boscastle family stories. I remember reading a couple of the first of the series, so it was like stepping into a Soap Opera after a year or [...]

LauraD’s review of Death Angel by Linda Howard
Romantic suspense released by Ballantine 1 Jul 08
Linda Howard’s last hardcover release was more mountain survival guide than romance, so I had some trepidation about buying her latest before the Big Box store had time to put their new release discount stamp on it. But yea! Linda Howard [...]
