Review: The Bad Boys Guide to the Galaxy by Karen Kelley

LauraJ's review of The Bad Boys Guide to the Galaxy by Karen Kelley
Contemporary Romantic Comedy released by Brava on 1 Jul 08

I picked up the first book in this series, Close Encounters of the Sexy Kind, based on the title alone. I read the back of the cover and immediately purchased the book. After I finished it I had to know if there would be more and I was so happy and exited to find out that there would. It seemed like forever but Cosmic Sex (book 2) finally came out. Fortunately, I didn’t have to wait quite as long or at least it didn’t seem like it for Bad Boys. But no matter what the wait is for these books, it’s well worth it. Read more

Review: Cosmic Sex by Karen Kelley

LauraJ's review of Cosmic Sex (Nekarian Aliens, Book 2) by Karen Kelley
Contemporary paranormal romantic comedy released by Brava 29 Jan 08

I’m the one who loves to read books with quirky, off the wall humor. I don’t remember how I heard of Karen Kelley. I think a friend of mine told me about her and thought I would like her books. Close Encounters of the Sexy Kind had just came out and I picked it up, mostly because the title caught my attention, read the back and decided I had to read the whole book. I knew within the firs few pages that Ms. Kelley was going to be an author I liked.

Review: The Power of Love (12 author anthology)

Sybil's review of The Power of Love by Foster, McCarthy, Laurey, Stockham, Blake, Castell, Sargeant, McLane, Monroe, Kelley, Maynard, and Wilder
Special Romance Anthology released by Berkley on 3 Jun 08

The Power of Love isn't at all what I thought it would be. Novellas are hard to do well. Make it a short story and it more often than not doesn't work for me. Add in the awesome fact the author's proceeds go to The YMCA Battered Women's Shelter of Cincinnati - well I was expecting more women's fiction than romance. I was very wrong.

Hell on Wheels by Karen Kelley

Hell on Wheels by Karen Kelley

No doubt about it: Cody Carlyle is the hottest bounty hunter around with a well-deserved reputation for bringing in the toughest skips. If she's learned one motto in this business-and in life-it's this: never turn your back. Never give an inch. And never, ever offer your heart.

Fellow bounty hunter Josh Pierce has had his eye on Cody's every luscious curve for quite some time. The hunky ex-undercover cop would love to show her that some things are worth believing in, things like the kind of ecstasy he'd happily show her in bed. Hey, fighting this kind of white-hot attraction is just wrong. So why not give in to a little Josh Pierce temptation? Why not share one amazing, toe-curling night of indescribable, head-scrambling passion and then walk away, no hard feelings? But the night they spend together is beyond amazing. It's sheer bliss. Not that it could ever happen again. Could it?

What was supposed to be a one-time deal is quickly becoming a very tempting habit—one they could stop at any time, of course. Like after the next time. Or maybe next week—no rush. Suddenly, two bounty hunters who never believed in anything are open to everything, scared of it all, and ready to discover what happens when you go after the biggest catch out there... true love...

Chapter One!
