Pile O’ Books - REVIEWS: Six degrees of romance

I figured that if I wait until I have time to do full reviews of these six books, airborne porcine would be commonplace. So I decided to just do it - write a bunch of quick hits. These are all over the place as far as genre and release dates, so bear with me. Below are short reviews for:

~ A Lick of Frost (Meredith Gentry, Book 6) by Laurell K. Hamilton - fantasy fiction

~ The Kiss by Sophia Nash - regency historical romance

~ The Last Warrior by Karen Kay - American west historical romance

~ Creation in Death by J.D. Robb - Furturistic thriller

~ How to Propose to a Prince (The Royle Sisters, Book 3) by Kathryn Caskie - regency historical romance

~ Midnight Rising (The Midnight Breed, Book 4) by Lara Adrian - contemporary paranormal romance

REVIEW: Midnight Awakening by Lara Adrian

Gwen's review of Midnight Awakening (The Midnight Breed, Book 3) by Lara Adrian
Contemporary paranormal romance released by Dell 27 Nov 07

I really liked this novel. Adrian doesn't drag us thru some sudden soul-mating, nor does she bank on a mysterious physical bonding thing. She lets the hero and heroine get to know each other thru the course of the book. Their relationship grows naturally (well, vampire naturally) and evolves.  It was a nice change and very deftly done.  Read more

REVIEW: Kiss of Midnight by Lara Adrian

Gwen's review of Kiss of Midnight (Midnight Breed, Book 1) by Lara Adrian
Paranormal romance published by Dell 1 May 07

This is the first of four books in Lara's Midnight Breed series, with potentially more to come.  It's based on a hidden vampire community (the Breed), vampire warriors (the Order) and their mates (Breedmates).  This first book in the series describes the escalating fight between the Order and Rogues (blood-obsessed vamps).  This entry introduces to their leader, Lucan, and his Breedmate, Gabrielle.  The book has drama, romance, sex, betrayal, and lots and lots of blood.
