Review: Untamed by Hope Tarr

Lawson’s review of Untamed by Hope Tarr
Historical romance released by Medallion Press 1 Feb 2008

This is the third in the series about three orphans who have come into their own. The first book followed Hadrian St. Claire, the second Gavin Carmichael, and now Patrick O’Rourke has his turn. Rourke has appeared in the first two books in the series, offering advice when his two friends have hit a rough patch with their respective loves. The question is to see if he can follow his own advice when things hit the rocks with his own new bride.

Review: Netherwood by Michele Lang

Gwen’s review of Netherwood by Michele Lang
Sci-Fi Romance released by Shomi on 26 Feb 08

This is going to be a short review. I didn’t like the book and Alicia did an admirable job summarizing the plot in her earlier review (which you can read here).

This author’s site is dismal, by the way. Tells you nothing about the book other than the title and a link to buy it. No blurb. No helpful author notes on the world-building, nada. [finger shaking time] Bad author, shame shame.

Review: Only You by Laura Glenn

Sandy M’s review of Only You by Laura Glenn
Historical paranormal romance ebook released by Cerridwen Press 28 Feb 08

It was very difficult for me to get into this book. The time travel part of it is pretty good, the way the heroine is thrown back into time and the era the author has chosen to write about. It’s the main characters that fell a little short. There’s not that extra something that makes them characters you love and you’ll remember later.

Here’s the last one from Bonnie Edwards single author anthology, Thigh High (Aphrodisia, 1 Feb 08).

I think this one has my favorite title of any short story I’ve ever read….

EXCERPT Part II: Thigh High: Thigh High by Bonnie Edwards

Please let me rain on you!  With ANOTHER EXCERPT!

Here’s part 2 from a contemporary by Bonnie Edwards, her wonderful single author anthology Thigh High (Aphrodisia, 1 Feb 08).   And no, that’s not a typo in the title.  One of the stories in the antho is named “Thigh High.”  So there. :p

We’ll put up an excerpt from the last story in the antho tomorrow.  LOVE these story names!  They bring a smile to my face every time I read them…
