Dinca’s review of Flashpoint by Jill Shalvis Contemporary Romance published by Harlequin Blaze 1 Jul 08 Jill Shalvis defiantly lights a fire with this one. The sparks are flying from page one. I can’t believe the hammock the hero is lazing in doesn’t go up in flames when the heroine’s gaze lusted upon him. Talk [...]

Limecello’s review of The Mistress Diaries by Julianne MacLean Historical romance released by Avon 29 Jul 08 My finding and reading this book was very random, but I’m so glad I did.

Sandy M’s review of Unmasked by Nicola Cornick Historical Romance released by HQN Books 1 Jul 08 Nicola Cornick is another new author for me. And after this book, I’m going to definitely be reading more of her books. I thoroughly enjoyed this one. Loved the characters, the story, the emotion, everything about it.

Sandy M’s review of Menagerie by Lara Santiago Erotic Sci-Fi Romance released by Siren 23 Jul 08 My biggest beef [Ed.: heh] with erotic romance most of the time is the gratuitous sex and no storyline to be found (I do have my moments when I don’t mind reading über-horniness), and there’s a lot of [...]

Sandy M’s review of Her One Desire by Kimberly Killion Historical Romance released by Zebra 1 Jul 08 I enjoyed this book.  The main characters are both have their crosses to bear, they do what they think should be done, right or wrong, and fall in love along the way.  I liked the storyline enough [...]

Shannon C.’s review of Shades of Dark (Dock 5 Series, Book 2) by Linnea Sinclair Science fiction romance released 29 Jul 08 by Bantam I think I’ve just about resigned myself to the fact that I’ll never be happy as a reader. I want strong heroines. I got one in this book. I want complex [...]

Sandy M’s review of Scandalous By Night (Carlisle Family, Book 4) by Barbara Pierce Historical Romance published by St. Martin’s 29 July 08 If you’re looking for an excellent historical author, you need to read Barbara Pierce.  I have to admit the first thing that drew me to her books were the titles.  Browsing at [...]

Sandy M’s review of Into the Lair (Falcon Mercenary Group, Book 2) by Maya Banks Contemporary Paranormal Romance published by Samhain 1 Jul 08 I am so loving this series.

Sandy M’s review of A Portrait in Time by Barbara Donlon Bradley Time Travel Romance published by Hard Shell Word Factory 1 Jul 08 Oh, my.  What a time I had with this book.  And I’m sorry to say that I don’t mean that in the usual way when you hear that sentiment. This is [...]

Liviania’s review of Deja Demon (Confessions of a Demon-Hunting Soccer Mom, Book 4) by Julie Kenner Paranormal romance released by Berkley 1 Jul 08 The third book in this series, Demons are Forever, felt a little stale to me.  Julie Kenner just reassured me that the series is not losing momentum.  Deja Demon moves full [...]

Liviania’s review of Red Seas Under Red Skies (Gentleman Bastards, Book 2) by Scott Lynch Fantasy released by Bantam Spectra 29 July 08 I picked up The Lies of Locke Lamora on a whim, shortly before I left for college last year.
