Review: Subtle Destiny by Beth Kery

Sandy M's review of Subtle Destiny (Subtle Lovers, Book 4) by Beth Kery
Contemporary Paranormal Romance published by Ellora's Cave 14 May 08

Ahhhhhhhhhhh! A thoroughly satisfied feeling after reading the latest Beth Kery book. Even though this is the fourth book in the Subtle Lovers series, I didn't feel lost not having read the previous books, the writing is, as always, engrossing, and the characters are larger than life. Exactly what I've come to expect from Ms. Kery. Read more

Review: Take a Stranger No More by Beth Kery

Sandy M's review of Take a Stranger No More by Beth Kery
Historical erotic romance eBook published by Samhain 29 Apr 08

I was so excited to get this book! A new Beth Kery book! I've been singing her praises since I read Exorcising Sean's Ghost, which I absolutely loved, last year. It so pains me to say this, I really didn't enjoy Take a Stranger No More all that much.

Review: Take a Stranger No More by Beth Kery

Shannon C.'s review of Take a Stranger No More by Beth Kery
Historical erotic romance eBook published by Samhain 29 Apr 08

My fellow duckie, Sandy M., has raved about Beth Kery, so when her latest came up for review, I used my mad ninja powers of sneakiness to request it before she could. The premise looked interesting in a this-could-only-happen-in-erotic-romance kind of way, and even though it's short, I figured it would be a nice change. Unfortunately, I can't review this book without spoiling a couple of things, so if you really want to read this book and don't want to be spoiled, go read something else.

Historical paranormal erotic romance released by Ellora's Cave 12 Mar 08

Beth Kery has definitely become a favorite of mine. She has a knack for plunging you headlong into in her characters' lives so that you experience the evil, the lust, the happiness, the sadness, the erotic, and love right along with them.

Review: Exorcising Sean’s Ghost by Beth Kery

Sandy M's review of Exorcising Sean's Ghost by Beth Kery
Contemporary Erotic Romance released as an ebook on 14 Nov 07 by Ellora's Cave

Read the summary and excerpt

Belle had only a few months of bliss with Sean before his death. Because they had to see each other in secret, she wasn't even able to grieve as normal, a chance to go to his funeral or even to his grave site to say goodbye. A year later she's dating a lawyer from a local law firm, but she's tired of fighting him off at every turn.

When she happens upon a handsome, mysterious man while walking her dog, she has such a visceral, sexual reaction to him, something that hasn't happened since Sean, and it frightens her as well as arouses her. How can she want a man with the same ferocity she'd wanted Sean?

Never thinking she would see him again, Belle is astonished when she learns that man is Jack Caldwell and is the new lawyer where her soon-to-be ex-boyfriend is employed. It seems Jack has the same riotous attraction to Belle as she does to him, and he bursts his way into her life with a sexual intensity that leaves her breathless and wanting more. But being this intimate with Jack plays havoc with her mind, she knows his body and hands already. Can he be Sean? Jack is incensed that Belle would think of another man when she's in bed with him and he'll teach her to think of only him making love to her, only him in her life.

At last, good erotica that gives you a story along with it. Beth Kery does an excellent job of balancing the erotic with romance and plotting. No sign of gratuitous sex anywhere and she also gives us light but very interesting BDSM. Her characters have plenty of depth and are well written. I really enjoyed Belle and Jack. Jack is a straight talker, an upfront kind of guy and Belle learns so much at his hands. The concept of the story is one we've read before -- to a point. We're given twists and turns that keep it all fresh, however, and it keeps us reading. Kudos, Beth! Well done!

Grade: A-
