LynneC’s review of A Lady Awakened by Cecilia Grant Historical Romance published by Bantam 27 Dec 11 I nearly DNF’d this book. The heroine is worthy, the hero isn’t and they get together because she wants a baby to save the estate from the Evil Heir. By page 100 I was starting to skip, which [...]

Dinca’s review of The Christmas Chronicles: The Legend of Santa Claus by Tim Slover Holiday Classic published by Bantam 2 Nov 10 Quite frankly, Tim Slover lost me in his prologue. His grammar choice was clumsy introducing his wife and sons into the story, and I have a few questions for the narrator in the [...]

Ash’s review of When Pleasure Rules (Shadow Keepers, Book 2) by J. K. Beck Paranormal Romance published by Bantam 28 Sep 10 To say I’m disappointed in book 2 of the Shadow Keepers series is putting it mildly. Instead of improving the flaws from the first book, it just adds a whole lot more.

Liviania’s review of His at Night by Sherry Thomas Historical romance released by Bantam 25 May 2010 When reviewing Sherry Thomas, some things go without saying.  Her prose is lovely.  I’m sure even those who don’t normally pay attention to prose notice the artistry of her words.  The historical setting is absorbing and well-researched.  Thomas [...]

Sandy M’s review of Not Quite a Husband by Sherry Thomas Historical Romance published by Bantam 19 May 09 This is my first Sherry Thomas book, much to my dismay. I’ve chatted with other readers who have read her books and while they all enjoy their reads, it’s a split decision on whether they like [...]

Lawson’s review of Not Quite a Husband by Sherry Thomas Historical romance released by Bantam 19 May 09 If you haven’t read Thomas’ first two books, you need to go and get them and read them ASAP. If this is your first Thomas book, you won’t be sorry. It’s loosely connected to Private Arrangements and [...]

Shannon C.’s review of Say Goodbye by Lisa Gardner Suspense/thriller hardcover released by Bantam 15 Jul 08, paperback release 19 May 09 I came to read this book because Wendy the Super Librarian and super awesome Harlequin reviewer herself blogged about it. Since Sybil so kindly provided me with the e-copy that I read, I [...]

Liviania’s review of Made to Be Broken (Nadia Stafford, Book 2) by Kelley Armstrong Thriller released by Bantam 24 Feb 09 For those who don’t know, Kelley Armstrong’s Nadia Stafford books are not paranormal.  No vamps, no werewolves, no nothing.  Instead, they’re thrillers with hitmen as the protagonists.  As I love hitmen I’m totally cool [...]

Shannon C.’s review of Hope’s Folly (Dock 5 Series, Book 3) by Linnea Sinclair Science fiction romance released by Bantam 24 Feb 09 Linnea Sinclair is one of those authors that I feel I should love. Her books always seem to have strong world-building, which I love, kick-ass heroines, which make me squee, and nice [...]

Shannon C.’s review of Shades of Dark (Dock 5 Series, Book 2) by Linnea Sinclair Science fiction romance released 29 Jul 08 by Bantam I think I’ve just about resigned myself to the fact that I’ll never be happy as a reader. I want strong heroines. I got one in this book. I want complex [...]

Lawson’s Duckies Do Series reviews of Traitor’s Kiss and Lover’s Kiss (Pennistan Family Series) by Mary Blayney Historical romance released by Bantam 28 Oct 08 If I remember correctly, Traitor’s Kiss was supposed to come out earlier this year (April maybe?), but it was instead delayed until November and paired with next novel in the [...]

Shannon C.’s review of Gabriel’s Ghost by Linnea Sinclair Science fiction romance released by Bantam 25 Oct 05 I understand that Linnea Sinclair is quite popular among readers of science fiction romance. Which, of course, explains why I haven’t read her until now. I am the absolute last to know about this stuff, I swear. [...]

Limecello’s review of The Disgraceful Duke by Barbara Cartland Historical Romance published by Bantam on Feb 77 I don’t know if you’ve ever read a book by Barbara Cartland, but she was something of a romance powerhouse. I mean, she was Dame Barbara Cartland. I feel that everyone romance fan should read one of her [...]

Lawson’s review of Delicious by Sherry Thomas Historical romance released by Bantam 29 Jul 08 Thomas’ debut, Private Arrangements, was a wonderful book and a great debut. How nice for everyone that her next book has come out so soon after the first. The aspects from the first book are present here the beautiful style, [...]

Limecello’s review of Hot Nights, Dark Desires by Eden Bradley, Sydney Croft, and Stephanie Tyler Contemporary anthology published by Bantam on 20 May 08 This anthology is hot, sexy, and has an edge, which meshes with its setting – New Orleans. The characters are all interesting and layered, and I enjoyed my introduction to two [...]
