REVIEW: Mercury’s War by Lora Leigh

November 19, 2008

Book CoverGwen's review of Mercury's War (Breeds, Book 16) by Lora Leigh
Futuristic paranormal erotic romance released by Berkley Sensation 7 Oct 08

This is another excellent Breeds book.  It reads fine on its own, but you'll get more from the story if you're familiar with the Breeds world.  However, while excellent I have a few reservations about the development of the heroine's story arc.  This is a complaint I rarely have with a Leigh book, so it surprised me to have it here.  Read more

REVIEW: Wild Card by Lora Leigh

September 26, 2008

Book CoverGwen's review of Wild Card (Elite Ops, Book 1) by Lora Leigh
Contemporary romantic suspense released by St. Martin's 26 Aug 08

This is a new series for Leigh and is related to her Tempting SEALs books, but starts a new series of heroes and heroines.  There are overlapping characters and storylines, but not to the point that you'll have a tough time following the story if you've never read another Leigh book.  This was a very satisfying read - emotional, sexy, action packed, and romantic.  I really loved it.  Read more

REVIEW: Rescue Me by Adair, Leigh, and Gerard

September 22, 2008

Book CoverGwen's review of Rescue Me by Cherry Adair, Lora Leigh, and Cindy Gerard
Contemporary action romantic suspense anthology released by St. Martin's 1 Jul 08

This was a cute anthology of three damsels in distress and the alpha heroes who saved them.  I'll keep the reviews short - this was a good book and definitely one to get if you want to test any of these authors out.  Not the best work by a couple of them, but not bad all things considered.  Read more

REVIEW: Wicked Pleasure Lora Leigh

August 22, 2008

Book CoverSandy M's review of Wicked Pleasure (Bound Hearts, Book 9) by Lora Leigh
Contemporary Erotic Romance released by St. Martin's Griffin 13 May 08

I always have the time of my life when I'm reading a Lora Leigh book.  I keep saying I love alpha heroes and heroes can't get any more alpha than the way Ms. Leigh writes them.  And the hero of this book, Cameron Falladay, is also as tortured as they come, trying to keep his secrets from those he loves so they won't be hurt too or won't look at him differently, love him differently, and then leave him to founder around on his own, lost to them and to himself.  As a bonus, I got two tortured men in this book, Cam has a twin brother.  Need I say I couldn't put this book down until every last word was read?  You betcha.  I'm a Lora Leigh fangirl to the core.

REVIEW: Ties That Bind by Jaid Black and Lora Leigh

June 1, 2008

Review:  Ties That Bind by Jaid Black and Lora LeighSandy M's review of Ties That Bind by Jaid Black and Lora Leigh
Contemporary Erotic Romance anthology released by Ellora's Cave 29 Aug 03

This book surprised me. I'm a huge Lora Leigh fan. There's not been a book of hers that I haven't loved so far. The few books I've read by Jaid Black I haven't cared for. In Ties That Bind it's the Black story that I liked best. Go figure.

ShannonC looks for Recs: Lora Leigh

May 5, 2008

Sandy M.'s latest review got me thinking about Lora Leigh. She is one of those authors that everyone seems to adore, particularly my fellow duckies . But the two short stories I tried by her, one in the Hot Spell anthology and the other in the A Wish, A Kiss, A Dream anthology didn't work for me at all. And then there are the incest books, which people either love or they hate.

Marly's Choice CoverBut despite all that, Lora Leigh sells like hot cakes and I keep thinking maybe I should try one of her full-length novels before I give her up completely.

But she has a huge, scary backlist, and I don't know what to read. So I turn to the collective wisdom of the Pond.

Recommend me your favorite Lora Leigh book in comments and tell me why I should read it. The person whose comment actually manages to convince me to try one of her books will receive some sort of prize book donated and signed from Lora Leigh. Don't ask me what prize--I am not the contest duckie nor do I play her on TV. [ed note: tis ok I answered for you cuz I can do that go team me!] Extra points will be awarded for creativity and/or attempts to make me snork a beverage out my nose.
