Sandy M’s review of High Risk (Adrenaline, Book 1) by Vivian Arend Contemporary Romance published by Berkley 5 Mar 13 I’ve enjoyed Vivian Arend’s paranormals, but she’s outdone herself with this new contemporary series. It’s edgy, tense, and sensual as all get-out.

Sandy M’s review of Timber Creek (Sierra Falls, Book 2) by Veronica Wolff Contemporary Romance published by Berkley 31 Dec 12 I’ve been looking forward to this new addition to Ms. Wolff’s Sierra Falls series, after having such a terrific time with the first book.

Veena’s review of Ours to Love (A Wicked Lovers Novel) by Shayla Black Contemporary Erotic Romance published by Berkley 07 May 13 I’ve enjoyed reading Shayla Black’s spicy stories about wicked lovers and the women who tame them.

Sandy M’s review of Wild Invitation (Psy-Changeling Series, Book 11.5) by Nalini Singh Paranormal Romance published by Berkley 5 Mar 13 I know it’s a risk for authors to write a huge amount of books in a series. Readers’ biggest complaints, I think, is the stories start sounding the same, nothing new between the pages [...]

Sandy M’s review of Wrecked by Shiloh Walker Contemporary Romance published by Berkley 2 Apr 13 Shiloh Walker never disappoints the reader in me. Her characters are always intriguing, people you’d like to know. And the way she weaves a story together is imaginative and fun. However, it’s the emotional impact of her work that [...]

Veena’s review of Love Irrestibly (FBI/US Attorney Series, Book 4)  by Julie James Contemporary Romance published by Berkley 02 Apr 13 I believe I’ve said this before, but it bears repeating : Julie James is one of the best contemporary authors that I have read.

Sandy M’s review of Down to You (Bad Boys, Book 1) by M. Leighton Contemporary Romance published by Berkley 12 Mar 13 For those of you who want a story with a twist, something a bit different than the normal read, Down to You fits the bill. It may seem like the typical menage, featuring [...]

Sandy M’s review of Seeing is Believing (Cuttersville, Ohio Series, Book 2) by Erin McCarthy Contemporary Paranormal Romance published by Berkley 5 Mar 13 When I first began reading this book, I had a problem with the hero, Brady.

Sandy M’s review of Tangle of Need (Psy/Changeling Series, Book 11) by Nalini Singh Paranormal Romance published by Berkley 4 Dec 12 I finally put everything else aside and read this book. There are a few series out there that I refuse to get too far behind on. There are a couple I have done [...]

Veena’s review of Wild Invitation, A Psy Changeling Anthology by Nalini Singh Paranormal Romance published by Berkley 05 Mar 13 When this book was announced, I was a bit disappointed thinking that I would be buying only two short stories for the price of a full book. But I have to admit that I’m pleasantly [...]

Sandy M’s review of Going Under (Bound by Magick, Book 3) by Lauren Dane Paranormal Romance published by Berkley 5 Feb 13 Even with this being the third book in the series and I’ve not read either of the other two, I enjoyed the paranormal world Lauren Dane has created in her Bound by Magick [...]

Sandy M’s review of The Last Renegade by Jo Goodman Historical Romance published by Berkely 4 Sep 12 Sigh. This book ended up in the wrong stack in the many stacks of books around me and my desk, so it didn’t get reviewed nearer to the release date back in September. I hope you’ll give it [...]

Sandy M’s review of Rescue My Heart (Animal Magnetism, Book 3) by Jill Shalvis Contemporary Romance published by Berkley 6 Nov 12 It’s so good to be back with the folks at Belle Haven. I’ve had such fun with them since the series started. Jill Shalvis never disappoints when it comes to thoroughly likable characters and [...]
