Sandy M’s review of Smooth-Talking Stranger (Travis Series, Book 3) by Lisa Kleypas Contemporary Romance published by St. Martin’s 31 Mar 09 I’ve been wanting to read this book for more than a year now and something has always gotten in the way. But I’ve been keeping it close by lately so that when the [...]

Lynne Connolly’s review of Rafael’s Suitable Bride by Cathy Williams Contemporary Romance published by Harlequin Presents/Mills and Boon Modern 1 Mar 09 I usually enjoy Cathy Williams’ books, but in this one I found too many dissonances to fully enter into it. It’s a good story that’s been shoehorned into the Presents/Modern line.

Di’s review of Her Best Friend’s Brother (Tulanes of Tennessee, Book 3) by Kay Stockham Contemporary Romance published by Harlequin SuperRomance 10 Mar 09 I really prefer to read a series in print order, but I was so taken with Kay Stockham’s She’s The One, Book 5 in the Tulane Series, I ordered the other [...]

Sandy M’s review of Immortal Bride by Lisa Childs Paranormal Romance published by Silhouette Nocturne 1 Mar 09 I’ve not read Lisa Childs before and because she writes Nocturnes, which is my favorite Silhouette line, and I have several of her books in the TBR pile, I opted for this one first since I haven’t [...]

Limecello’s review of The Moretti Heir by Katherine Garbera Contemporary romance released by Silhouette Desire 10 Mar 09 I got this book because it was part of the Man of the Month series, and also because it’s by Katherine Garbera. Admittedly, there were other motivating factors, as Marco Moretti’s  description is “Italian millionaire.” I’m a [...]

Limecello’s review of Secret Baby, Public Affair by Yvonne Lindsay Contemporary romance released by Silhouette Desire 10 Mar 09 I really enjoy Yvonne Lindsay’s Silhouette Desire books, and it’s a good thing too, because her titles are not a draw for me. I might even go so far as to say that I read them [...]

Gwen’s review of Undead On Arrival  (Crimson Moon, Book 3) by L.A. Banks Urban fantasy released by St. Martin’s 31 Mar 09 Sybil sends me random urban fantasies and paranormals to read and review.  I’m usually happy with the books – sometimes they suck and sometimes I’m pleased as punch with the book.  This book [...]

Limecello’s Duckies Do Series reviews of The Hardcastle Progeny Series by Jennifer Lewis Contemporary romances released by Silhouette Desire Feb – Apr 2009 Rawr. My original review got eaten, so please just imagine all sorts of witty brilliance throughout, ok? So – Silhouette Desire is one of my favorite Harlequin Lines. I also pick books [...]

Limecello’s review of Scandalized by Lori Foster Contemporary romance released by Harlequin 1 Oct 97, rerel’d 1 Mar 09 The story begins “She was the perfect woman to have his baby.” Tell me that doesn’t get your attention. I really enjoy Lori Foster’s older stories, and this was no exception. You’ll notice that the book [...]

Shannon C.’s review of The Accidental Human (Accidental Friends, Book 3) by Dakota Cassidy Paranormal romance released by Berkley 3 Mar 09 There’s something intrinsically satisfying about reading the final volume to a series. I always close the book with a smile, a bit wistful that I’ll never get to spend time with these characters [...]

Liviania‘s review of His Cavalry Lady (Aikenhead Honors, Book 1) by Joanna Maitland Historical romance released by Harlequin Historical 1 Mar 09 What’s this?  A Harlequin Historical review by someone other than Wendy the Super Librarian?  Could it really be?  I must admit, I don’t pick up much historical fiction. It’s not my favorite genre.  (I [...]

Gwen’s review of The Betrayal (The Ælven, Book 1) by Pati Nagle Romantic fantasy released by Del Rey 24 Mar 09 I don’t get much chance to read fantasy, though it is one of my first literary loves.  I cut my reader’s teeth on J.R.R. Tolkien, Roger Zelazny, and Terry Brooks.  To this day, I [...]

Shannon C.’s review of Desire Unchained (Demonica, Book 2) by Larissa Ione Paranormal romance released by Forever 3 Mar 09 It says something about the compellingness (is that even a word?) of an author’s series when it doesn’t take me six months between reading books. I didn’t wait long at all between reading Pleasure Unbound [...]

Lawson’s review of Revealed by Kate Noble Historical romance released by Berkley Sensation 3 Mar 09 Kate Noble, in her second book, goes for a bit more intrigue and some derring-do with a story about a former spy in the fight against Napoleon and the Queen of Society.  I do have to mention that after [...]

Sandy M’s review of Animal Attraction by Charlene Teglia Contemporary Paranormal Erotic Romance released by St. Martin’s 17 Mar 09 This is one of those books that readers are going to really like or it’s just not for them. There will those who will say there’s not enough story to go along with all that [...]
