Review: Hard as Nails by HelenKay Dimon

Limecello's review of Hard as Nails by HelenKay Dimon
Contemporary anthology published by Brava on 1 Jul 08

I first discovered HelenKay Dimon in the anthology When Good Things Happen to Bad Boys, with her story Hardhats and Silk Stockings. I really enjoyed it, and was so excited to find out that she had a continuation of sorts on the story coming out. Actually, I didn't know this was an anthology at first, but this format is perfect.

Review: Ricochet by Sandra Brown

Sandy M's review of Ricochet by Sandra Brown
Romantic Suspense published by Simon & Schuster 15 Aug 06

Every time I pick up a book by Sandra Brown, I always ask myself why in the heck I waited so darned long to read her again. She keeps me riveted to the page, she keeps me guessing, she keeps me interested, and she keeps the story right where it should be, front and center on the main characters.

REVIEW: Warrior by Angela Knight

Gwen's review of Warrior (Time Hunters, Book 1) by Angela Knight
Sci-Fi romance released by Berkley 1 Jul 08

Angela Knight writes some of the steamiest, far-out books I've ever read. They almost always have uber-alpha heroes and generally have strong heroines. Warrior is no exception. It has an alpha hero in spades, a heroine that rocked, and some sci-fi details that even Shannon will like. Read more

Review: Karma Girl by Jennifer Estep

Liviania’s review of Karma Girl by Jennifer Estep
Paranormal romance released by Berkley 1 May 07

Shannon C. told me I should read Jennifer Estep when I admitted to be a comics sort of girl. I believe I now owe her, because Karma Girl is fabulous and impossible for me not to like. Estep knows comics and it makes her novel that much more joyful. It might be impossible to not be happy when reading Karma Girl, because the author obviously had fun when writing it. Read more

Review: Running Wild by Sarah McCarty

Limecello's review of Running Wild by Sarah McCarty
Paranormal romance single author anthology published by Berkley Heat 3 Jun 08

I've never read a book by Sarah McCarty before, but she's been an author I've been meaning to try. I have to say, I'm glad I got the chance and that I read this book. I love anthologies, because they're fun, interesting, and pack a lot of punch. Generally, I find myself wanting more. In Running Wild, however, the stories are perfectly written and you're not left hanging at all - the stories feel complete. Read more

Review: The Beast in Him by Shelly Laurenston

Sandy M's review of The Beast in Him (Pride, Book 2) by Shelly Laurenston
Contemporary Paranormal Romance published by Brava 1 Apr 08

Hey! You! Yeah, you! Why didn't you tell me how good these Laurenston books are? I've been missing out at least as far as her Pride books go and now I'm ready to start glomming every book on her backlist. I had that much darned fun reading The Beast in Him.

Review: Undeniable Magnetism by Bonnie Dee

Shannon C.'s review of Undeniable Magnetism by Bonnie Dee
Contemporary M/M Erotic Romance Ebook released by Loose ID 25 Mar 08

I really like Bonnie Dee's writing. I've only read a couple of her books so far, but I love that she tackles a variety of genres, and her characters have a lot of warmth and seem like people it would be fun to get to know. In Undeniable Magnetism, a recent release from Loose ID, Ms. Dee continues in that vein and provides a nice character study with two protagonists who are both the kind of guys one might actually run into at some point in real life.

Review: Grass by Sheri S. Tepper

Shannon C.'s review of Grass by Sheri S. Tepper
Science fiction novel released from Spectra 1 Jul 90

There are some books you can breeze through in a matter of hours, close the book afterwards with a satisfied smile and reach for the next. Then there are the books that practically demand to be savored, with the reader moving along at whatever leisurely pace the author sets. As someone with a huge stack of books on my To Be Reviewed list, I don't often take time to read the books that need savoring. However, as soon as I started reading Grass which was originally published in 1989, I knew I'd stumbled upon a treat, and I further knew I couldn't just rush through it or I'd miss stuff.
