Review: Baddest Bad Boys by McKenna, Sheedy, and Noble

May 7, 2008

Baddest Bad Boys by Shannon McKenna, E.C. Sheedy, Cate NobleLimecello’s review of Baddest Bad Boys by Shannon McKenna, E.C. Sheedy, Cate Noble
Contemporary Romance Anthology released by Brava 6 May 08

Anytime, Anywhere by Shannon McKenna

I’ve been waiting for another MacNamara story ever since I read Meltdown in Bad Boys Next Exit, years ago. Anytime, Anywhere is a good novella, don’t get me wrong, but I think I was expecting more. Robin was a little shaky in the beginning, but she really came into herself at the end. Jon was a typical McKenna alpha hero, someone who forces you to like him, even though you might be wondering why you’re in his corner. I felt the emotional connection between Robin and Jon a little lacking. She’s had a thing for him for fourteen years.

Explosive by Charlotte MedeFinn’s review of Explosive by Charlotte Mede
Historical Romance released from Brava 1 Jan 08

Explosive was not very explosive. This is a story of the history of nitroglycerin/dynamite and Beethoven’s music. Gray Dalton works for the government and Devon Caravelle is the alleged mistress of a French aristocrat. These two must work together to unlock the code buried in Beethoven’s “Eroica”.

Review: Smart and Sexy (Sky High Air, Book 1) by Jill Shalvis

May 1, 2008

Smart and Sexy (Sky High Air, Book 1) by Jill ShalvisSandy M’s review of Smart and Sexy (Sky High Air, Book 1) by Jill Shalvis
Contemporary Romance published by Brava on 1 April 2007

I have found another author to glom. I have never read Jill Shalvis before this and I think I’ve been missing some great reads. I had an immediate response to her characters, especially her hero, the action is nearly nonstop, and the romance and the emotion is to die for. Smart and Sexy is one satisfying read.

Sylvia Day’s historicals are, in a word, amazing stories. I have yet to finish one with a frown.  I invariably have a big ol’ smile and say, “Aww! What a GOOD BOOK!” You know the kind - you never want them to end. Don’t Tempt Me is no exception.

Read on to see if you will also want to read this terrific book.

Review: Satisfaction Guaranteed (The Goddard Project, Book 1) by Lucy Monroe

April 27, 2008

Satisfaction GuaranteedSandy M’s review of Satisfaction Guaranteed (The Goddard Project, Book 1) by Lucy Monroe
Contemporary Romance published by Brava on 1 May 2007

All it takes is another man sniffing around his home turf and Ethan Crane sits up and takes notice. Much to Beth Whitney’s delight — and consternation. She’s had all kinds of sexy and lusty fantasies about the agency’s No. 1 agent for two years and not once has he stepped out of that polite, friendly, and teasing posture whenever he interacts with her. But when Beth’s ex-fiance is hired as the new agent on the block, suddenly having Ethan’s attention zeroing in on her is spine rippling and disconcerting all at once. Wait till she finds out what her father has up his sleeve.

Review: Hotter After Midnight by Cynthia Eden

Hotter After Midnight by Cynthia EdenSandy M’s review of Hotter After Midnight by Cynthia Eden
Contemporary paranormal romantic suspense released by Kensington Brava 29 Apr 08

I was a little skeptical of this book while reading the first few pages. I didn’t know what it was about, choosing not to look it up on the web and just digging right in. So when I started reading about a newly-turned vampire who couldn’t stand the sight of blood, I was thinking, “Oh, no, this is going to be one of those tongue-in-cheek books, going for lame laughs page after page.” I couldn’t have been more wrong.
