Limecello’s review of Jealous Lover by Brandi Michaels
Contemporary romance released by Samhain Publishing 16 Jun 09
I haven’t read a Samhain book in a while, and this was a cute, fast read. I’ve heard of Brandi Michaels, but this is the first book by her that I’ve read. I’ll definitely look into her back list [...]

Sandy M’s review of Surrender to the Devil (Scoundrels of St. James, Book 3) by Lorraine Heath
Historical Romance published by Avon 30 Jun 09
I absolutely adore Lorraine Heath’s books. And after reading this third book in her latest series, I have to say it’s a very close second to her Texas trilogy, my all-time favorite. [...]

Sandy M’s review of The Scot and I (Seers of Grampian, Book 1) by Elizabeth Thornton
Historical Paranormal Romance published by Berkley 2 Jun 09
This is my first Elizabeth Thornton book, and I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised. The paranormal aspect of the story added to a conspiracy mystery to assassinate the Queen, some [...]

Gwen’s review of Demons Not Included (Night Trackers, Book 1) by Cheyenne McCray
Urban fantasy released by St. Martin’s 2 Jun 09
This is the first of a new series for McCray.  It’s an urban fantasy using a lot of familiar paranormal elements overlayed on a modern day New York City.  But what’s nice is the [...]

Holly’s review of A Fortune Wedding by Kristin Hardy
Contemporary romance released by Silhouette Special Edition 1 June 2009
I really tried to like this book. Two things marred my enjoyment: 1) the fact that I hadn’t read any of the previous books and 2) the heroine. There were many things that were referenced in this [...]

Harlequin Blaze is one of my favorite category lines (no surprise the other is Silhouette Desire), and I’ve also enjoyed Rhonda Nelson and Lori Borril’s previous books, so buying these three books made perfect sense. For Ms. Nelson, I love her military heroes, and was very intrigued by the premise of each book. For Ms. [...]

Gwen’s review of Hidden Currents (The Drake Sisters, Book 7) by Christine Feehan
Contemporary paranormal romance released by Jove 30 Jun 09
I always look at the Drake Sisters series as Feehan’s “Dark Series Done Lite.” It’s my least fav of her many series, but Feehan even on a bad day is still imminently readable paranormal romance. [...]

Sandy M’s review of Kiss and Kin by Kinsey Holley
Paranormal Romance novella ebook released by Samhain 23 Jun 09
I initially chose this book to review for two reasons: it’s a werewolf story and I love me some shifting wolves, and the heroine is a court reporter. Same as me. So, needless to say, I [...]

Devon’s review of Red Kiss (Gods of Midnight, Book 2) by Deidre Knight
Paranormal Romance released by Signet Eclipse 2 Jun 09
Red Kiss is the second in Deidre Knight’s series featuring an immortal band of Spartan warriors, who pledged their allegiance to a capricious Greek god, after the battle at Thermopylae (think “300“). These hot, [...]

LauraJ’s review of Jinxed by Inez Kelley
Contemporary Romantic Comedy released by Samhain Publishing on June 9, 2009.
I think every woman wants to find a man who is “perfect” (and it’s okay if your idea of perfect is different than mine, etc) and in this light-hearted romance I think Ms. Kelley has managed to get [...]

Sandy M’s review of The Brides of Fortune Trilogy by Nicola Cornick
Historical Romances released by HQN Jun – Aug 2009
I jumped at the chance to read this trilogy because I’d just read and reviewed my first Nicola Cornick book, Unmasked, a few months ago, and I so enjoyed her writing. Her characters, while [...]

Liviania’s review of The Confessions of a Duchess (Brides of Fortune, Book 1) by Nicola Cornick
Historical romance released by HQN 1 Jun 09
I not only write reviews for TGTBTU, I also read them.  Nicola Cornick earned praise from both Sandy and Wendy TSL.  (I think it was this review that really made me want to [...]

Wendy the Super Librarian’s review of Afternoon Delight by Kayla Perrin
Erotica short story eBook released by Spice Briefs 1 Jun 09
I’m a big fan of erotica as escapist fun, and Kayla Perrin’s latest Spice Briefs story certainly fits that mold. I’ll be honest, I could nit-pick this plot to death, but I’m not [...]
