Gwen’s review of The Lost by J.D. Robb, Patricia Gaffney, Mary Blayney, and Ruth Ryan Langan
Anthology released by Jove 24 Nov 09

This anthology came to me by way of Sybil and her bottomless bag o’  books.  It’s an interesting mix of all sorts of stories, some romance, some not. A nice way to while away [...]

Limecello’s review of Sex Drive by Susan Lyons
Contemporary erotic romance released by Aphrodisia 1 Dec 09
I like that Susan Lyon’s stories are unique. Ms. Lyons is fast becoming one of my favorite authors. First of all, she wrote the Awesome Foursome books. Next, that she writes warm, smart, sexy stories, that have substance. Sex [...]

LynneC’s review of Shades of Midnight (Midnight Breeds Series, Book 7) by Lara Adrian
Paranormal Romance published by Dell 29 Dec 09
After the disappointment of the last book about Andreas Reichen, in Ashes of Midnight, there is a return to form in this book. I like this series, which is more straightforward than others, keeps its [...]

Liviania’s review of The Christmas Present by Tracy Wolff
Contemporary romance released by Harlequin Superromance 8 Dec 09
I understand the logic that if marketing says something sells, you should do it.  Harlequin didn’t become the powerhouse it is by making random decisions.  Still, I don’t see the point in packaging Tracy Wolff’s latest with a [...]

Wendy the Super Librarian’s review of The Maid’s Lover by Amanda McCabe
Historical romance short story ebook released by Harlequin Historical Undone 1 Dec 09
Amanda McCabe is quickly becoming one of my go-to historical authors when I’m in the mood for “different.”  Her latest short story for the Undone line features the criminally underused Elizabethan [...]

Lynne Connolly’s review of Count Toussaint’s Pregnant Mistress by Kate Hewitt
Contemporary Romance released by Mills & Boon 18 Dec 09
Another appalling title and a daft blurb as well, because it doesn’t address the real story. The blurb doesn’t discuss a book that I ever read. So here’s my take on it.
Luc is mired in depression, [...]

Sandy M’s review of The Phoenix Charm (Magic Knot Fairies, Book 2) by Helen Scott Taylor
Contemporary Paranormal Romance published by Love Spell 29 Dec 09
It’s official, Helen Scott Taylor has become my newest favorite author. She has the magic touch, as far as I’m concerned, to give readers terrific characters, a unique storyline, and a [...]

Limecello’s review of Double the Heat by Lori Foster, Deirdre Martin, Elizabeth Bevarly, Christie Ridgway
Contemporary romance released by Berkley Trade 1 Dec 09
I’ve actually been waiting for this book since I read Double the Pleasure. A new Winston story? Heck, a new Lori Foster novella? Yeah – I was curious. Stories by Deirdre Martin, [...]

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 [...]

Liviania’s review of Newly Fallen by Megan Hart
Paranormal romance released by Spice Briefs 1 Dec 09
I’ve followed the advice of several of the other duckies in the past.  Today it was limecello’s turn.  Anyway, I know that limecello loves Megan Hart.  Megan Hart just released a Spice Brief, the perfect way to try out her [...]

Limecello’s review of The Maverick by Diana Palmer
Contemporary romance released by Silhouette Desire 8 Dec 09
I’m pretty sure people believe that Diana Palmer is one of my favorite authors. This statement isn’t true. It’s more that Ms. Palmer is almost a compulsion – like a drug I can’t quit. I know there are other [...]

Wendy the Super Librarian’s review of Her Colorado Man by Cheryl St. John
Historical romance released by Harlequin Historical 01 Dec 2009
Cheryl St. John is, hands down, my number one comfort author.  Her books are the equivalent of a cold winter night, snow falling outside, wrapped in a blanket, cuddled up on the sofa, drinking [...]

Lynne Connolly’s review of High Powered, Hot Blooded by Susan Mallery
Contemporary Romance published by Silhouette Desire 8 Dec 09
A powerful businessman, Duncan didn’t like ultimatums, unless he was making them. But the board demanded his public image change. When he encountered sweet kindergarten teacher Annie McCoy, he knew she’d make him look like a perfect [...]

Limecello’s review of To Tame Her Tycoon Lover by Ann Major
Contemporary romance published by Silhouette Desire on 8 Dec 2009
I read this book, and am so happy about it. I’ve been on this Nawlins/Creole kick, and grabbing To Tame Her  Tycoon Lover seemed serendipitous. I could be mistaken, but I’m a little surprised Ann [...]

JenB’s review of Dark Side of Dawn by Kathryn Smith
Paranormal Romance released by Avon 24 Nov 09
I loved Before I Wake, the first book in Kathryn Smith’s Nightmare Chronicles, so much that I placed it in my top 5 books for 2008. I bought copies for friends and practically forced them to read it, and [...]
