LynneC’s review of From Dirt to Diamonds by Julia James Contemporary Romance published by Harlequin Presents 23 Aug 11 When you want the pure, true crack that is Mills and Boon Modern romance, you turn to Julia James. She gives you all the wild madness, the extremes of the Cinderella trope that is the basis [...]

LynneC’s review of  The Marriage Betrayal by Lynne Graham Contemporary Romance published by Harlequin Presents Extra 28 Jun 10 Harlequin has begun to put selected titles from their category lines on netGalley for review. I’m guessing they want these books reviewed and promoted all over the place. So it beats me why they decided to [...]

Ash’s review of A Deepest Thread of Black by Finn Marlowe Erotic Paranormal Romance published by Samhain Publishing 08 Feb 11 I really wanted to love this book. It has more than a few plot lines that I usually enjoy, but there isn’t a single thing I like here.

Sandy M’s review of Passionate Pleasures (The Pleasures, Book 5) by Bertrice Small Contemporary Erotic Romance published by NAL Trade 3 Aug 10 I remember reading Bertrice Small when I was a teenager.

Sandy M’s review of Ladies Prefer Rogues by Janet Chapman, Sandra Hill, Veronica Wolff and Trish Jensen Time Travel Romance anthology published by Berkley 2 Feb 10 I’m not a huge fan of anthologies. Sometimes they work for me, but most of the time they don’t. It takes an exceptional author to pull off a [...]

LynneC’s review of Money Man’s Fiancée Negotiation by Michelle Celmer Contemporary Romance published by Silhouette Desire 13 Apr 10 Last night, I saw a program on TV called “Women.” It looked at modern “radical feminists,” and their main concerns seemed to be with pornography and prostitutes. But instead of worrying about equal rights in the [...]

Sandy M‘s review of Time Storm by Samantha Winston Erotic Romance ebook novella released by Ellora’s Cave 1 Nov 09 (reissue) I’m a huge time travel fan, so that’s why I wanted to read this book for review. It’s a good thing there’s definitely some time traveling in this ebook because that’s about the only [...]

Lynne Connolly’s review of The British Billionaire’s Innocent Bride by Susanne James Contemporary Romance published by Harlequin Presents Extra 8 Dec 09 I read the British version of this book, the Harlequin Modern version, but you can also get it as a Presents Extra. I know how hard it is to read a poor review [...]

Lynne Connolly’s review of The Innocent’s Dark Seduction by Jennie Lucas Contemporary romance released by Harlequin Presents 1 Sep 09 You know how you’re supposed to always look for the good points in a book? I decided to do that with this review. 

Shannon C.’s review of Retreat by Mari Carr Erotic romantic suspense eBook released by Ellora’s Cave 27 Nov 08 With smaller turnaround times between proposals and release dates, it’s possible for an e-published author to get a very good idea of what readers are buying and write books specifically to that market, whether that’s a [...]

Sandy M’s review of Bonded by Anne Wesley Hardin Contemporary Erotic Romance eBook released by Red Sage Sept 2008 Well, I finished this book a couple of days ago and still have no idea what to say about it.  I almost didn’t finish the darned thing, but then decided I should give it a chance, [...]

Shannon C.’s review of Never Too Old by Carol Lynne Contemporary romance eBook released by Ellora’s Cave 15 Aug 08 Well, now I can say that I’ve read a Carol Lynne book. That may be the nicest thing I have to say in this whole entire review. I’ve read it and I don’t wish to [...]

Gwen’s review of Insatiable Desire (The Demonborn, Book 1) by Rita Herron Contemporary paranormal romance released by GCP Forever 26 Aug 08 This is the first of a new series for Herron.  The next, Dark Hunger, comes out in 2009.  It’s about a man born of a demon and his fight to squelch his “bad [...]

Liviania’s review of What She Craves by Lacy Danes Erotic historical romance single-author anthology released by Aphrodisia 1 Mar 07 I remember this cover from a “bad covers competition.” I can see why it was nominated – too much contrast, terrible hair, the weird red wash, the nipple showing, the odd pose. (Just look at [...]

Shannon C.‘s review of Phantom by Lyndsay Randall Historical paranormal romance released 27 May 08 by Love Spell There’s nothing more frustrating for me as a reader than a premise that shows so much potential but ends up failing completely when it’s executed. That’s pretty much exactly what happened with Phantom, which doubly sucks because [...]
